My stay at Hotel Empryean was quite a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and had the essentials, but the absence of an open restaurant and the location being far from dining options was a significant drawback. However, I did appreciate the excellent service from the staff and their quick response when I left items behind after my stay.

Breakfast was a letdown. They served me a cold MILO chocolate milk and called it cold coffee, which didn’t sit well with me. I would recommend bringing your own food and drink.

The hotel offers necessary amenities like a minibar and free airport transfer, but the overall facilities feel quite basic and underwhelming.

The room could have been better furnished, but it was clean and comfortable enough. the staff was helpful overall, although there were some moments of poor service. I would recommend it if you need a place for a quick layover.
