The common areas were dirty, and there were shared bathrooms which were cramped and not well-maintained. It didn't feel like a hotel vibe at all.

I recently stayed at Empress Palace Hotel, and it was a mixed experience. The quirky decor and the friendly staff made me smile, but the overall cleanliness and some operational issues left much to be desired. I had moments of fun despite the shortcomings, and the parrot was definitely a highlight.

The room I received was far from what I expected. It was dubbed 'The Princess Room,' featuring two double beds, but unfortunately, it was dirty, with a filthy carpet and hair in the bathroom.

The service started off on a confusing note, as I had to call to have someone come to check me in. While the lady was friendly, the cash-only policy and lack of receipt made me uneasy about the operation.

The facilities were lacking in some aspects, especially considering the dirty state of my room. The laundry area was the only positive feature I utilized.

My stay at the Empress Palace Hotel was quite mixed. While the garden views were lovely and there was access to a sports area, the overall experience was marred by various issues. The room cleanliness was lacking, and I felt misled by the booking details. The staff's response could have been better, which ultimately affected my stay. 😕🌸

The queen deluxe room I booked felt more like a standard accommodation. Although it was advertised for two queen beds, I was given one queen bed and charged improperly. The cleanliness was not satisfactory, with stained carpets and sheets. Overall, I felt it did not live up to the deluxe standard.

The staff tried to be accommodating, offering an extra mattress for my daughter, which was appreciated. However, there were inconsistencies in the booking process and charges that left me feeling frustrated. The communication could have been clearer.

Dining options were limited, and basic toiletries were overpriced, which felt unnecessary and disappointing. Homemade desserts would have added more charm to the experience.

The sports area was a plus, allowing some fun activities during our stay. However, the overall facilities were lacking in cleanliness, which detracted from my experience.
