This is a fine 4 star hotel. It provides great bang foe the buck. The welcome gift is a very nice surprise. However, they need to upgrade the food. I had dinner at their restaurant, and the food took about an hour. When it came, the pad thai was cold and the pizza was dried up, leading me to think they were perhaps prepared elsewhere and delivered to the hotel. When I told the staff that the food was cold, the waitress heated it up using a microwave. When I later stayed at their sister hotel "Empress Premier" I noticed they offer same menu but the food was hot and fresh. I noticed similar quality difference with breakfast buffet also. Overall, staying at this hotel was still very pleasant, especially at its price point

My stay at Empress Hotel was a most wonderful experience. Empress is located in a beautiful and safe city, Chiang Mai, and it's close to EVERYTHING. You can walk to many restaurants, and the major markets are all within a walking distance. The people of Chiang Mai are friendly, and the cost of living is low. The staff are so friendly and courteous. My birthday fell during my stay at Empress, and they lavished me with so many gifts! What an experience. I thank the staff for the outstanding hospitality.

Large and older hotel with some character. Excellent value for the price. Lobby is very nice looking. Caters mainly to tour groups and not business traveler like me. Easy walking distance from major 5 stars international hotels where conferences are held.

I really enjoyed my stay the staff were excellent. The rooms were nice. The breakfast buffet was really good. A couple things I didn’t like was you had to pay to use the safe in your room. I also wish they had better dining options. They had a very limited menu in the restaurant. But other than that, my day was very good.

It's a nice property. Has that regal feel with oriental design elements everywhere. it's a larger hotel vs. a botique hotel so they have many amenities on site, and it's really well staffed. Property is kept up very well. I thought the pool area was a highlight as it has a nice view of the mountains in the background. I really liked their green pool towels. I never see that color anymore.
