The breakfast offer was excellent with lots of choice. Very friendly staff. The location of the hotel is great and a short walk to the town centre and across the road from the promenade. There's a good choice of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Wifi was excellent.
South AfricaGreat location, clean, tidy, good food and relaxed bar area. As a sole business traveller I enjoy staying at the Empress. Has everything you need as a business traveller and is really close to Douglas central area.

Isle of ManThe only food I had in the hotel was breakfast, and that was just absolutely spot on, very well presented and very friendly waitress's too, can't fault it at all . . .
United KingdomThe property was fine staff brilliant no complaints
United KingdomGreat breakfast, piano entertainment on Saturday was fantastic, room a little tired but comfortable overall.
USAVery central location. Breakfast buffet included. We chose a small suite, which had a lounge area with a sleeper sofa for our little one, and we were in the bedroom. So there was plenty of space for all of us.
Isle of ManThere was a really good choice of hot & cold options for breakfast. The Piano Bar is good for light meals. Staff and management were very friendly & helpful. Great sea views from the front of the hotel. Hotel is situated on Central Promenade, perfect location for accessing all the attractions. Walking distance to buses, there are bus stops right outside the hotel. The buses run regularly and the ones which go to the airport stop there. This makes it very easy to get to & from the airport cheaply. It's approx a 20 minute walk to the steam train & the same to the electric train. The shops are a 10 minute walk.
United KingdomGood location, very clean the room was comfortable on the small size. Large TV . We had a late snack in our room which was very good value for money. Staff were very friendly, nice breakfast
