I brought my wife and 3 kids to Empire to give them a first hand experience of what I used to enjoy before on my last 2 visits. Our initial xperience was good notwithstanding the rather slow service. On our second night, the duty manager came with security personnel to warn my family to keep the noise level down. It... More

The only hotel i stay at each time I am in Brunei and I would not go anywhere else. There is a sense of kitsch about the entire resort with its gold platedness and sky high beams but then again, we are in Brunei, i would not expect anything less. The resort is huge with 2 main wings and 4... More

We spent 5 nights at the Empire Hotel and Country Club and it was just not long enough! We had an executive room in the West Wing and enjoyed every minute of it. While our room had not yet been updated it was still very beautiful and the view was lovely.The staff everywhere were friendly and helpful especially our caring... More

We spent 3 nights in the Empire Hotel & Country club and loved every minute of it. We had a luxury room in the West wing, overlooking the sea. The room was large and comfortable, both for leisure use and business use: a good sized desk, a large flat screen television, 2 club sofas with a table, and a very... More

This hotel is exceptional - in a good and bad sense. There are billions of Brunei Dollars spent on a building without atmosphere and style but it is simply bombastic. To see it once, to enjoy a night there is an experience I do not want to miss, but I would not want to stay longer. "+" price/value is unbeatable,... More

The Empire is a great location for a two or three day stopeover in Brunei. Almost without exception, the staff were genuinely friendly, helpful and well trained. It is a huge complex with many quality dining options at not too high a price. We ate in two nights and went to the night market on our last night to get... More

The Empire Hotel and Country Club was one of the most memorable holidays of our lives. The hotel is just absolutely beautiful. The foyer is grand and the lagoons and beaches are pristine and very inviting. The rooms and attached bathrooms are large and offer a scenic view of the resort from the private balconies in each room. The hotel... More

I went to Brunei really only for one reason - to get an extra stamp in my passport! I stayed just one night at The Empire Hotel and it was one of the highlights of my Malaysian holiday. From the moment the cheuffeur collected us from the airport and stopped the car at the entrance of the opulent drive way... More

The Empire does opulence on a grand scale - big rooms, lovely marble bathrooms, fabulous setting. I really enjoyed my visit, walking around the grounds and admiring the views. The only thing that surprised me was this was the only hotel we stayed in that didn't provide free wifi!! Quite shocked!! We enjoyed the sea food restaurant, but didn't realise... More
