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.

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.

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!

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!

Facilities were average but that is reflected in the price and basically what we expected. However, the location is fantastic, easy to walk to town. We did a lot of steps but saved us money!

Overall the stay was fine. The bed was comfy and place was clean. However, the power outlet in the bathroom kept popping off which was a hazard!

Property was ok for the night, but room was very basic and quality of the bed was average. Loud drunk neighbours at 1am, with occasional yelling. But I do realise that the apartment is in a student location and designed for that market.

Not a place we would book again.
Cheap accommodation. Insufficient seating or space available for the 6 adults booked. Lounge area that was shown in photos appeared to have been converted to a 3rd bedroom.
Beds were cheap, nasty and uncomfortable.
There were 2 bathrooms.

Value for money.
Value for money.
We stayed here for two nights. Overall, good accommodation and clean rooms. Tea, coffee, towels, linen, soap and shampoo are provided. There is a convenient shop next to the building but closes at about 9pm. Restaurants and other shopping places are little bit far – about 15 to 20 min walk. Train stations including “The Strand Station” are little bit far and need taxi. Only street parking is available and free between 6pm and 8am. All other time need to pay for parking (about 4NZD per hour). Very helpful reception and accommodate late check-in (about 10pm). Reception staff given us good useful information about the area. Wifi is available but need to pay to use.
I will use them again.
