My stay at Empires Hotel was enjoyable overall, with excellent food and friendly staff, though I encountered a couple of minor issues that could use improvement. The location is outstanding, right in front of the sea, but the hotel is a bit further from the city center. Additionally, although the ambiance and service were generally good, I found some inconsistencies with room cleanliness and the ongoing renovations.
