EMPIRE LUXURY HOTEL

EMPIRE LUXURY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent
"Overall Rating: 4.5/5 – Excellent Stay! Our overall stay was absolutely excellent! I booked several rooms for a week, and while there were a few minor issues on the first night, the team corrected them quickly and professionally. Most of the staff are young, professional, and incredibly helpful. The only thing missing is nametags—I really wish they wore badges so I could give a proper shout-out to a couple of them by name! I do want to specifically mention the chef in the restaurant, who is highly professional, and Dimitri at the front desk, who was absolutely great. The staff's bilingualism also made it incredibly easy to communicate throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to both family members and friends!"
