Guest Reviews

- ColinParawan (10/5): Weekend Stay - The hotel is location is the best for food.
- ColinParawan (10/5): - Location location location Always a pleasure staying here.
- Graeme (6/5): - The Empire Hotel has Foxtel and when I arrived, the tv in my room didn't work. I'd evpect the tv to work properly in even the cheapest motels or hotels. Hotel staff didn't seem to have much interest in solving the problem.
- Nicole (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again Highly recommend
- Leanne (10/5): - Central walking distance. Great facilities.
- Hugh (10/5): -
- Cristy (10/5): - Easy parking, great reception staff, great room & inclusions.

- Amanda (10/5): Great stay, clean and comfortable - Highly recommend Empire Apartment hotel. From check in the staff were friendly and prompt. Room was ready on time, clean and everything in order. Property was clean and tidy, including the pool and gym area. Bedding was comfortable and all appliances in working order. The property is close to shops and restaurants.
- 964David (8/5): Comfort and convenience in Rockhampton - In most respects this is an excellent hotel. It is well located in Rockhampton's CBD. My spacious and quiet apartment had river views. Staff members I encountered were helpful and friendly. I could park easily. The well furnished and well maintained apartment had a wide range of facilities, including a washing machine and dryer. It was very clean. My bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was good. There was a well equipped small kitchen. Food in the hotel's cafe and restaurant was of a high standard. I only have a couple of criticisms. There was no safe, which is most unusual in a four star hotel. The wifi signal was quite weak and sometimes briefly dropped out. I would stay here again.
- X304XAmoniquer (10/5): Must stay Rockhampton accommodation - Our association had a conference nearby and many members were booked through the Empire Hotel; after the 2 day conference, my husband joined me and we stayed for a few days doing some sightseeing in the area. The Empire Hotel is fabulous, lovely large comfortable rooms, overlooking the Fitzroy River; comfy beds, high quality linen and a mini kitchen AND dryer and washing machine. The charge-back system with the Coffee Club is super-handy; gym and pool are great, and cleaning staff replace towels and service the room regularly.
- Peter (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean and great Hotel..
- Nathan (8/5): - Great room for the price

- Rebecca (8/5): - Easy check in with the staff, friendly and willing to cater to your needs. Place was clean and tidy and spacious. This was our second time staying here as we like the convenience of the coffee club underneath and the grocery Coles centre only a block away. The view of the river is also breathtaking.
- Anne (10/5): - Excellent choice! Walking distance from the city centre, shopping and restaurants. Fabulous view. Comfortable, very large rooms. We’d highly recommend!

- Richard (10/5): - Great service and location
- missingvienna (10/5): Great hotel in perfect location - We decided to treat ourselves and stay here on our last night away. It was a beautiful hotel and we loved our room - absolutely beautiful views and was clean and modern with beautiful furnishings. We also loved the pool and the restaurants just downstairs. Even the body wash and shampoo provided in the bathroom was incredible, I have since bought some for us to use at home!
- GIOVANNI (10/5): - GREAT LOCATION NEAR THE RIVER AND RESTAURANTS. FRIENDLY STAFF.
- ColinParawan (10/5): - Felt well at ease in the property.. Cleanliness was paramount.
- Neil (10/5): - Great spot, will return
- Marcy (10/5): - Fantastic place! Very clean and comfortable. Felt like home.
- Duncan (8/5): - Property itself was excellent very clean and well furnished however bed was maybe a bit soft for my liking which gave me a sore back in the morning but just personal preference. We stayed a Friday night and the area around was very noisy, lots of honing and shouting possibly just due to being a Friday night. Would certainly stay again though. Best address in Rocky for sure
- Stacey (10/5): - Beautiful apartment on the river! Will be back!
- Ran (10/5): - Wonderful location and excellent facilities!
- Brooklyn (10/5): Great stay and easy check in process - Great stay for the night, we requested a later check out and they allowed an extra half hour which was appreciated.
- TONY (10/5): - Have stayed here many times, always great
- Tanya (10/5): - Beautiful Room, very spacious! Will definitely stay again!
- Chris (8/5): - Decent size room, good ammenities and outlook
- Jessie (10/5): - Great apartment for a girls night - comfy beds and beautiful view.
- Geoff (10/5): - Curtains worn and splitting at entry to balcony, need replacing, otherwise spot on
- 223vickis (8/5): Short break in Rockhampton. - My daughter and I stayed at the Empire in Rockhampton as it was in walking distance from the studio where my daughter was attending a Singing Teachers conference. Handy if you wanted to attend a show at the Pilbeam Theatre and didnt live in town. There is a 24 reception service that we found very helpful as we drove to Rockhampton from Mackay that afternoon due to work commitments and arrived around 8pm. Check in was done quickly and efficiently and we found a park in the undercover car park which was great as the parking is limited. Our apartment was very clean and well set out apart from the bathroom that was very small in comparison to the other rooms. Unfortunately the twin beds we had requested when booking had not been adhered to and we had to share a king size bed that night although the lady on reception said she would come up and change them if we wished but we decided to go with the flow as it was late and the situation was remedied in the morning by the cheerful housekeeping staff. We had a small balcony that looked over to the river and this was a pleasant place to sit and watch the passing pedestrian traffic making use of the river walkway. No crocodiles were spotted although we were told they could well have been there in the water. I made use of the laundry facilities provided in the apartment and was happy to find they were relatively easy to work out. An air clothes dryer was also provided for those items that couldn’t be put in the electric dryer and with Rockhampton’s climate our clothes dried very quickly on the balcony. We found two restaurants under the Empire, one being Coffee Club which was open for breakfast and lunch and Ribs and Rumps that opened at night time and provided tasty reasonable priced food. There were also another couple of eating places along the esplanade but no other coffee shops in the immediate area. There is a small shopping centre a short walk from the apartment that has Coles and Target and a few specialty stores that are well worth a look. The town centre is also within walking distance but most of the other food outlets are a short drive away so a car is a must if you are staying for a few days and don’t wish to do your own cooking. There was also a very inviting decent size pool on site but we didn’t get a chance to try it out. We had an enjoyable stay and would recommend this apartment for a short stay in Rockhampton.
- Sally (10/5): - Excellent place to stay
- PATRICIA (10/5): Excellent Place to Stay - Spotlessly clean apartment and building. Reception very friendly and helpful. Unexpected daily clean of room. Would highly recommend this property and the adjacent restaurants.
- David (10/5): - We loved the room it had a great kitchen very comfortable bed and a nice view with balcony. The only complaint we had is people talking loudly on the balcony at night apart from that it is one of the best apartments we have stayed in.
- Donald (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Alexis (8/5): - Probably the best apartment / hotel in the area and we are glad we chose the empire. It was spacious and had all the facilities we needed as a family as well as a couple of restaurants. We had a great meal in the Italian. Would recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.
- Trevor (8/5): - Good. The hole process was effortless
- Elsie (10/5): - Beautiful ambience.
- Peuish (10/5): - Excellent rooms. Well maintained. Great views of the river. Great breakfast options.
- sawena25 (10/5): A Fantastic Stay at Empire Apartment Hotel in Rockhampton - I was very happy with the room, or rather the apartment, at the Empire Apartment Hotel. It was surprisingly spacious and modern, and they fulfilled my request for a high floor with a great view. The view over the river was stunning, unobstructed by other buildings, and really beautiful. It's a shame I couldn't stay longer than one night because the apartment had everything you could need and I enjoyed it so much. There was even a washer and dryer, a very cool kitchen, free water, and other amenities. The hotel was clean, and everything was just perfect. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. They assisted me with my luggage and stored it for me until I finished shopping. I had breakfast at their café after checkout and liked that you could order on your phone, with everything brought to your table. The food was really tasty. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend the Empire Apartment Hotel in Rockhampton.
- Barbara (10/5): - Great location close to the river. Fantastic view from the room balcony. Very friendly staff.

- F1222MEpaulc (10/5): Excellent place to stay - Friendly reception staff, excellent clean and spacious apartments. Have stayed in 1 and 2 bedroom apartments all have balconies. Plenty of secure parking. Close to shopping centre, cafes etc. Great place to stay 1 or as many nights as you need.

- Kyal (10/5): - Everything was wonderfull
- Naushad (10/5): - Nice property with great service.
- KirbyQld78 (8/5): A pleasant stay - We stayed over the Christmas period. Lovely room and very clean. A great space to rest and relax.. Service was efficient but it could have been a little friendlier. Some staff were wonderful while others seemed to be ignoring guests. A greeting as we were checking in on Christmas Day would have been nice. I would stay again.
- Geoffrey (2/5): - Furniture missing or broken floors dirty towels smelled of bleach food lousy and very expensive I would not recommend this place to anybody
- 720natb (10/5): Beautiful apartment - Stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment. Lovely views and the apartment is spacious and well set out. Very clean. Staff friendly. Close to town and restaurants. Highly recommend staying here whether for work or pleasure. Beds very comfortable
- Papaw19 (10/5): Well located apartment hotel - We stayed in a very comfortable 1 bedroom apartment. On level 6, we had a delightful view of the river and mountains. There was a small kitchenette with two hotplates, a microwave and a large fridge. We used the pool every day - so refreshing. The staff were very pleasant and friendly.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Excellent. Highly recommend.
- Themacsofoz (10/5): Brilliant Hotel Apartment - Overnighted here heading to Airlie Beach. It’s an unbelievable surprise for Rockhampton. This Hotel and Apartments would match anything available high end in Brisbane. Very comfortable and well laid out apartment. We enjoyed our stay so much, we are booked back on our trip home. It has 2 restaurants attached on the ground floor and both were packed. We did the Italian which was excellent, reasonably priced food and wine and it was lucky we booked. Definitely the place to stay in Rocky.
- Hamish (10/5): - An excellent stay in a very nice and comfortable apartment
- Ashley (10/5): - I stay here reguarly. It is my pick for Rockhampton. Well serviced. Clean. Great staff

- John (8/5): - Helpful staff Good facilities Within easy walking distance from interested places
- Chris (10/5): - Disappointed to be told by text message the day before arriving that we could not be guaranteed a car park. It would be nice to know this before booking.
- Jeff (10/5): - Its right on the River, Restaurants underneath and all the way along the strip, a short walk to the beautiful main river front area, with easy access to Museums etc we were there for the River Festival which we highly recommend a fantastic day night of activities, live bands, international food stalls, kids events, Aboriginal culture shows and fire works, just amazing.
- jasmine (10/5): - Great rooms!
- Melinda (10/5): Rocky - The Empire Apartment Hotel is situated in a great condition close walking distance to the river, shops and restaurants. The amenities were fantastic and the unit clean and comfortable. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to fellow travellers
- Michael (10/5): - easy walking distance to Criterion Hotel
- yilgiddie (10/5): The best - Quite the best! The room was clean, full of everything one might expect (including washing machine and dryer), the bed was supportive and comfortable, the staff were courteous, friendly and helpful, the undercover car park was readily accessible and the total experience was top notch.
- Wayne (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay. Teenage kids loved the gym and pool
- Hayden (10/5): - loved this place, customer service was great and will definitely be coming back
- D2362ZBjenniferg (8/5): Lovely spot - The Empire hotel is in a lovely location with wonderful views of the Fitzroy river. They have excellent service and, while we had a little glitch at the beginning, it was resolved and they went above and beyond for us. Even leaving a lovely card and gourmet chocolates for my birthday. First floor has obstructed views so for river view stay above first floor. We stayed on second floor and 5th floor and both were great. Pool is freezing for some reason, but does not take away from enjoyment of hotel. Eat at the Coffee club for breakfast for excellent coffee and food. There is an awesome Indian restaurant down the street, not far, and is wonderful. You can walk to Target and Rockhampton Mall (not like North American Malls), but it’s great. Don’t hesitate to book the Empire, it is the nicest spot in Rocky, and you can walk the path by the river.
- Glen (10/5): Excellent stay as per usual - Always great here, early check in, friendly helpful and efficient service. Rooms are excellent with great view over the river. Shops and restaurants nearby.
- FamilyQld (10/5): Fantastic family stay - We booked a 2 bedroom apartment for our family for 5 nights and it was perfect for our needs. Bedrooms were large of size and beds in both rooms were very comfortable, with extra pillow options. The lounge had a sofabed available for use rather than splitting the queen in the second room into twins which was helpful for our children. Some reviews had mentioned loud birds of a early morning on the water view side, however we only heard them once on our first morning waking there and not again. Air-conditioning available in both bedrooms and living area was great. Both the main bathroom and ensuite were well equipped with body wash/soaps/lotion etc - rooms large of size. The separate laundry within the apartment was not noisy, an exhaust was able to be switched on and had a large counter area to sort clothing. Kitchen was large, well equipped, perfect for a family with a large fridge and plenty of cupboard space and dishwasher. The lavazza coffee pods were fantastic! Tastefully decorated modern apartment with a decent sized dining table area with 6 seats and lounge area with a 2.5seater couch. Balcony was great facing the water with a 6 seater outdoor table. We tried the pool and unfortunately it was ice cold on a 36degree sunny day. We wondered if its positioning on the shady side of the building had something to do with this.. because on a hot day like that we and other guests in the pool area at the time were very surprised - maybe they could look at some heating for the future. Reception and housekeeping staff were absolutely fantastic for our whole stay. Thank you
- Mick (10/5): - Great location to stay in Rockhampton, whether it be overnight or for a week
- Richard (10/5): - Good access to good
- Slinky_Milinky (10/5): A very comfy work trip - I stayed at the Empire for a work trip and picked it due to its location and proximity to my work destination. My stay at the Empire was really lovely, from the friendly service at the 24 hr reception, to the clean room with balcony and river view. The essentials: the bed was comfy and shower great! Unfortunately I didn’t get to the pool, but wished I did as it looked lovely. As a solo traveller with big work days, I appreciated having access to Pacinos and the Coffee Club without needing to leave the hotel building. Additionally Coffee Club opened at six AM, which allowed for an easy breakfast before an early work start. I would happily stay at the Empire again for work or holiday.
- Stephanie (8/5): - Great rooms, but can feel a bit unsafe in the surrounding area
