Very enjoyable stay
Lovely stay in the Penthouse - good space and amazing views. Hotel is a little tired in places but that is reflected in the price plus the main bar area and staff more than make up for it.

Clean and comfortable
I stay here when on the island for work as it’s a good location, good value and always clean. There’s also a comfortable bar and restaurant on site which I find great after a long day and breakfast is self serve and has good choice for a quick bite before heading out.

4/10 Fair

Not family friendly. £30 charge for cot bed
Average at best. Stayed there for a wedding with my 18 month old son for 2 nights. Firstly, they charge £15 per night for a travel cot which is shocking. I've stayed in 5 hotels with my son and never been charged before. Put me in a room where i had to get up and down stairs with a pram, an 18 month old and bags on my own. Also charged me £3.10 for a pint of milk to fill up a bottle. Breakfast was ok. Tiny plates and cheap filter coffee.

6/10 Good

Overall it was ok but not quite up to the standards of a Holiday Inn Express. Couldn't get any food the first night; they sold the restaurant to an "event". The event played loud, thumping music til midnight that came up through the building structure and could be heard in all the rooms. No point in trying to sleep until it was over. The food was typical Irish (no surprise: lots eggs, beans, and high-fat meats. Some fruit, no juice. About like an Irish Denny's. The beds were comfortable and slept well after the noise stopped. It's a retrofit of a Victorian era building so lots of levels, not all of which are served by the light. Those with disabilities might find it challenging but we saw worse accessibility in other places. Overall assessment: it'll do but of the 6 hotels we stayed in on our trip, this one was #6.

My wife and I I whilst being able to walk fount the entrance step's daunting. We were guides to the "Disabled Access". We are not disabled in the wheelchair sense. Perhaps some form of suitable wording along the line of Guest who feel unable to walk up follow the arrows/ please to the lifts. Otherwise a great stay

I was pleased with the room & the location of the hotel. The breakfasts are first class as are the bar snacks/meals. I hadn’t expected my room to be serviced everyday so to return and find my bed made, towels folded ect was a bonus. Excellent experience all round. I am considering visiting the Island with my wife in the future and will definitely be booking my stay at the Empress.
