8/10
The Empire Platinum Suites (EPS) are part of a group of three hotels with different standards.
There are only a few rooms available in the EPS, one on each level. The setup is designed around the central staircase, split into 2 rooms and an adjacent, rather small bath. The connection between the rooms is a slender hallway.
The interior is modern and of really good quality. It contains a full kitchen but all in all appears to be squeezed in the space given. The bed is short (1,8mor~6ft), and the control of the interior lights was a challenge since there is no description available. Also the use of the TV was problematic, since it only works with an TATA box. It was annoying that we had to ask every evening for an extension of the hotel TATA account needed to use the TV.
Everything was very clean though.
The location is quite central and many places in the city are close by. Due to traffic and the very dirty surroundings you should take a Tuk Tuk instead of walking.
The noise from the streets are quite loud, we only slept with ear plugs.
In the morning the restaurant was very full (hard to find a seat) and the choices very limited.
All in all we still recommend the EPS but it would be good to improve the mentioned issues since the price is not a bargain…
