Hotel di Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Booked the Empire Hotel Hong Kong · Wan Chai during the 9.19 sale. First off, getting to the hotel from the airport on the A11 bus was super convenient, a direct ride. The front desk didn't proactively tell me the specific times for breakfast and afternoon tea, only the floor where they were located. I'm guessing the hotel is a bit older, as the room facilities felt a little dated. There wasn't a charging port by the bed, and there was a vent in the room that couldn't be turned off, constantly making noise. However, the breakfast and afternoon tea offerings were plentiful and refilled very promptly.

This was the 3rd stay in the last 2 months. First I made a mistake and double booked our rooms. The hotel was very fast to cancel one of my bookings without any charges. On arrival, Vanessa at the front desk was very nice and helped arrange adjoining rooms for my wife and I and adjoining room for my 2 boys. Aside from easy access to the MTR and lots of restaurants all around the hotel offers a spectacular view of the Victoria Harbor from their VIP Lounge on the top floor. For hotels with similar prices in the area I highly recommend the Empire.

The room was spacious, new, and very modern. The service was highly professional, especially the cleaning staff who could cure anyone's OCD! The location is excellent, just a short walk from Zijing Cultural Square and the Convention and Exhibition Center. Public transport is convenient, and it's super easy to find places to eat and shop. There's a mall downstairs and Xiamen Street right across the road, surrounded by all sorts of restaurants, from various price points to different cuisines, both Chinese and Western. It's perfect not only for business trips but also great for family vacations!

The first room I got was unpleasant. The hallway at the floor and inside the room was had a cigarette smokes. I was stay up for a whole day. Inside the room was shocked me! A lot of mirrors surrounding inside the room. On the next day I spoke with front desk and they changed the room to me as what I booked originally. Better view and cleanliness. More options and convenience to take the public transits. More selections for the restaurants and shops. 

I used to stay in this property when it was Cosmopolitan Hotel. It was much high grade, and better service, better amenities, better service before. Now Dorsett; the decoration is out of date, not very clean, much low grade, and low service. Apart from the location, i wouldn’t stay in this property again. They don’t even provide free bottles water, but they put a re-usable bottle, and you need to fill it from public dispenser. Quite dirty to use the bottle other people used, and it is questionable of the public dispenser hygiene. Also there are stains all over the bed sheets. We left the room with the “clean the room” sign on, when we turn back at night, room not cleaned.

Clean. Good location. Room service was good. The only bad thing was we got the room in front of the receiving desk and hear every person walking by, but other than that it was ok.

Beyond its good location and affordability, there's not much else to praise. The Tin Hau MTR station is closer, but the exit towards the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so it's a struggle with large luggage if you have to use the stairs. There's a McDonald's, Fairwood, and tea restaurants nearby, so breakfast outside the hotel is perfectly fine. The rooms are very old, even the executive rooms on higher floors. I only chose it for the price and convenience, so I'm not really complaining about the conditions. You can walk to Don Don Donki in about 10 minutes. Taking the tram (ding ding) is generally cheap and convenient for getting around.

Staff are all friendly! They allowed us for early check-in! Smooth & fast! Everyday change towels, big bed & room spacious enough for all of us 4 for the family room! Clean water & high pressure hot & cold! Highly recommended! 😇

This place is reasonable priced …location the staff is wonderful and very efficient always there time square around the corner.. MTR and tram outside

Had a wonderfully comfortable and highly satisfying stay, offering excellent value for money. 1. **Spaciousness:** The room was remarkably large by Hong Kong standards, exceeding 20 square meters. Beyond the bathroom, it featured a dedicated kitchen and a small dining area. Multiple windows provided abundant natural light, making the space bright and airy. The decor was elegantly cozy, truly creating a home-away-from-home ambiance. 2. **Convenient Amenities:** The kitchen was fully equipped with a microwave, toaster, induction hob, washing machine (with dryer function), range hood, refrigerator, and a complete set of pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery – all perfectly functional and in great condition. This was a huge advantage, as many hotels and guesthouses often have such appliances that are merely for show. During our three-day stay, the washer/dryer was incredibly convenient for daily laundry. We also appreciated the complimentary drinks in the fridge. 3. **Excellent Location & Perks:** The hotel boasts a superb location with convenient transportation. It's just a few hundred meters, roughly a 10-minute walk, from Wan Chai MTR station. Getting to Central or Tsim Sha Tsui MTR is incredibly easy, just two stops each. Popular attractions like Golden Bauhinia Square and Victoria Harbour are also within easy walking distance. While a full breakfast isn't provided, the lobby offers 24-hour complimentary coffee, and from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, guests can enjoy free apples, bananas, and pastries – a thoughtful solution for a quick morning bite. 4. **Friendly Service & Minor Detail:** The lobby staff were exceptionally friendly, always greeting us warmly. During check-in, they patiently explained all the essential details and how to operate the in-room appliances. The hotel also features both an indoor and outdoor lounge area, both tastefully decorated to create a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The only slight drawback is the approximately 20-meter steep uphill walk to reach the hotel entrance. This might pose a challenge for guests with mobility issues, seniors, or those with heavy luggage. However, this elevated position contributes to a very quiet and peaceful environment at night.
