"Have stayed at the empire many times after its renovation but it has probably been 10 years since I last stayed there. What was once the place to be has now been let fall apart. The aircon heats when it’s supposed to cool. No more amenities in the rooms. Dust everywhere. Roll up blinds do not roll up. Elevators are incredibly dirty - carpet need steam cleaning. Bathroom has no vents so the moisture has caused years of damage to the walls. Such a shame to have let the property end up this way. It’s a wonderful location, sad to see the lobby bar closed down - it really used to be so bustling. Do not recommend. Most of the staff we very pleasant and helpful. "
