The only bad thing about The emporium is the maintenance part. Last year my oven broke and they did almost 2 months to change it but overall the experience here is really good. Location is pretty good, most of the staff members are nice, very clean and there are rooms for entertainment and activities such as cinema, gym etc. There are also study rooms. The rooms are pretty big with nice furniture. However, there is a lot of outside noise and the windows do not do anything.

Read The Emporium Reviews
It is totally terrible! The lift always broken, I live in 13th floor!!!! The Wi-Fi is poor, especially in the early morning. The reception staff are very irresponsible. My parcel missed several times. And onetime, when I track my parcel, the website showed the driver left a card for me to told me to collect parcel in post office. But when I asked the reception, she even not thinking for a second. She said definitely no card. So I should contact the parcel force and waiting for respond. The parcel worth more than £170, and the reception ignored it. I was so angry!!!
