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.

No on site parking
Firstly I had booked this Hotel because is says PARKING AVAILABLE! Which there is no on site parking, it is street parking and you're allowed to park for 16hrs in every 24hrs, yes it is a bit confusing! Some of the side streets are free on road parking but this is a lottery and a bit of a walk to the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable all though you could hear people running up the stairs during the evening and night. The bathroom was of goo quality but required updating, much like the rest of the island a bit run down and dated. the bed was super comfortable and I did wakeup in the night thinking that I was actually in my own bed at home! The staff were pleasant and the food at the piano bar was good although limited, there are a few restaurants if you're prepared to walk along the sea front towards the main town. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection of english buffet, continental and plenty of fruit to eat. I stayed for 8nights on a business trip and would more than likely use the same hotel again.
