What guests think

Across recent reviews, Nightcap at Empire Hotel is praised for friendly, welcoming staff, renovated rooms with very comfortable beds, and a convenient location near buses and the CBD, though onsite dining is limited and sometimes unavailable.

Some guests noted limited storage, darker decor, and occasional noise. Parking is available at the rear, access is via stairs, and there are bars downstairs. Check in is smooth, but a few reviews report housekeeping lapses and cigarette odours. Expect a straightforward, good value stay with simple facilities.

This is our second stay at this hotel. Its rooms have been modernised but still show a hint of their earlier days which is a look I like. Great shower and small kitchen area for a morning wake up cuppa. Heaps of restaurants nearby and of course the bars downstairs. Even though the rooms are above the bars it’s not noisy at all.

Room was clean and staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The area had plenty of food outlets and restaurants. The hotel though is limited with food options. Plenty of car parking at rear of hotel but not in a locked area. Overall a place I would possibly stay at again.

The accommodation was excellent once I knew how to get in and out. My big concern was the shower and the fact the water could not be contained within. Did advise the manager. People more fussy than me would be concerned about the backyards of some of the businesses near by.. Would have been good to know bus timetable. Manager very hospitable.

If you want a quiet and comfortable place to stay the Empire is pretty good. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. I liked the renovations, the lighting was great, mini fridge, kettle, ironing board and iron. Loved that other guests had left their streaming profiles logged in! The staff were friendly and overall i would stay again. Maybe next time they will have a kitchen. I think k that’s the only thing missing a restaurant attached.

Room smelled so bad of cigarette I could taste it in my mouth, so I asked for a different room and that room smelt like bad body sweat, there are no windows or doors you can open in the rooms so I just turned the aircon on and sprayed it heavily with rexona, luckily we had to attend an event and it gave it time to smell a bit better for when we came back to the room. The exit/entrance had fresh vomit outside the door, right where you had to walk to get in and out, then between midnight until 1 am there was extremely loud domestic yelling and screaming in the hallway, it was really disturbing and upsetting and I was too scared to check outside my room in fear of being attacked and then around 7am there was a heavy smell of cigarette smoke wafting into the room, I’m unsure how or where it was coming from but I was looking forward to leaving. Apart from that, the old rooms were clean as such and nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable, had there been no other issues it would have been a pleasant stay. Not a very nice part of Adelaide to be in, I wouldn’t stay there again.

Good hotel, with amazing staff and cleanliness. The rooms are comfortable but lack storage space and would love a chair in the room and the black roof makes the room dark (lighting is good to help to a degree). Overall beds are comfortable ( very soft beds) and great bathrooms. Great staff
