The only downfall was that the bathroom was falling apart. Other than that it was an excellent stay. Everyone was super friendly including guests and it was a very convenient location for what we needed having small children with us. They thought they were queens being on the top most floor!! Brilliant!

Great central location, walkable to downtown Auckland and all it has to offer... However, lots of hills, so bring your good legs lol... Parking is kinda spendy, be prepared... Staff was very helpful and friendly, room was clean and welcoming and nicely appointed... Vending machines as well as a convenience store and burger restaurant on site... Enjoyed my stay!

My needs as a Customer are pretty minimal, but Empire Apartments meets those needs every time. The staff who greeted me were kind and polite and informative. People in and around the place were also friendly who speaks of their clients and reputation. Will stay here again.

A clean, cosy, and otherwise very good three-star hotel at a very reasonable price, located in the heart of Auckland. There is an excellent laundry on the ground floor. The staff are very friendly. The only two issues are, first, that Wi-Fi is not provided by default, and second, the hotel does not take fire safety seriously: at least on the 18th floor, where I lived, the fire door that is supposed to stay closed was wedged open and fixed in that position.
