Hotel covers all the basics in central Tsim Sha Tsui

Not everyone needs a destination hotel or a room to idle in luxury. For the basics, Empire Hotel Kowloon handily places the traveler in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui. Local eateries, shopping and street life lie just outside the door. Several MTR stations within walking distance connect guests to Kowloon attractions and beyond. Visit the hotel pool for a quiet swim before retiring to the hotel's comfortable accommodations.

Highlights
  • Swimming pool at the Atrium
  • Central Tsim Sha Tsui location
  • Rooms on high floors have partial harbor and Hong Kong Island views
Rooms

Rooms cover all the basics with modest décor in a minimalist style. A few design touches create space in the rooms, such as windows in the bathrooms. Compactly-sized, the space is ideal for travelers who do not plan to spend much time lingering in their rooms. After a day exploring Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and beyond, guests appreciate the hotel's comfortable beds and simple amenities.

Features

Guests can take advantage of the hotel's central location in Tsim Sha Tsui in endless ways. A variety of dining options, shopping venues and cultural attractions lie just outside. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet, plus broadband Internet access in the rooms and Zino's Bar and Lounge. The hotel restaurant, Empire's Kitchen, offers a buffet and a la carte menu for hungry guests from 6 a.m. to midnight.

I stayed at The Empire Hotel Kowloon

I stayed at The Empire Hotel Kowloon twice during a holiday. On the first occasion the room felt very pokey, with two single beds when I had asked for a double bed. The room smelt mouldy and the water did not drain away when I was showering. After that experience I was not looking forward to returning to the hotel at the end of my holiday. However, when I returned I checked in early in the day and received a room with a double bed as requested: this room though probably no bigger did not feel as cramped. The room felt cleaner and there were no problems with the plumbing, so I enjoyed staying at the hotel then. It was very handy to be on the route for the free shuttle bus to the Airport Express, and convienent to Nathan Road. Based on the first experience I would not stay at the hotel again, on the second stay I would.

Great Location

Great Location, Staff was much more helpful then I had read in past reviews. Clean, nice lobby and dinning. Walking distance to all of Tsim Sha Tsui. Next stay, I would have breakfast and internet included in a package instead of Ala Carte. Over all nice and clean and Good value. (Bring your own CLOCK)

We booked two rooms and requested

We booked two rooms and requested for a connecting room. This was not available. Satisfied with double room but the same could not be said for the twin bed room. Because of the design of the shower cubicle, the bathroom floor was all wet after a shower.
