Stayed overnight at the Empire Hotel. Room was clean, comfortable bed, traffic noise which reduces at night but not an issue. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Opportunity to see a platypus in the river across the road if you're lucky! Meals are delicious and the menu is great. Communal breakfast room is a nice touch and well stocked.
Very reasonable price for a lovely stay in a charming town. Highly recommended. 

Charm and history abound!

Classic Country Pub
Modern, clean and comfortable rooms.  Meals were tasty and served by a lovely open fireplace. Breakfast was basic but good. Hosts were friendly and informative about the region.  Good value. Would stay again. 

Classic Country Pub

I stayed here again for my second time as I enjoyed the first time other than the room being on the front and near the big illuminated sign.  This time at the back was much better.

I didn't realise that not all the rooms have the ensuite connected the room I was in, room 9, had two single beds and the ensuite you had to leave the room and go to the ensuite which was close by but the emergency exit path was there probably why they couldn't have it interconnected.  Don't forget your key especially at night and not great for nude sleepers in case they need to visit the golden throne in the middle of the night.

I would suggest they think of heated underfloor in the bathroom under the tiles instead though would make it that much nicer particularly at night or going in barefoot.  Also I learned don't use memory foam pillows had a sore neck for most of the next day, half way through my sleep I swapped it out with the other pillow which was a normal type of pillow.

The electric blanket was nice having not used one before but had it on too hot best use it at level 1 for cool nights.  The bed was comfortable overall.  The room and ensuite were clean the only thing I'd suggest is they kill the spiders in the window edge in the bathroom and clean up the cobwebs on a more regular basis, small I know but important.

I had my dinner there as well and the two beers I had were good as was the food(fish & chips & salad), maybe some more healthy choices on the menu perhaps or do some fusion specials even.  The parking area behind is the only bit that needs some work, a low car could damage on the stumps that are still remaining from trees in the past and to think about 7-11kW EV charging for future as it is the future of transport and customers could go to the competition due to lack of it.  


Second Time

Only stayed one night. Very clean, well preserved historic pub with modern amenities. Great restaurant downstairs too. Parking out the back, centrally located. The only thing we noticed was that our room didn’t have a window that could be opened, and that meant using a fan all night to circulate air.

Great historic pub 👍

We have had a terrible meal and experience at the Empire Hotel in deloraine. My daughter was served a tahini cous cous salad with avocado and I had fish and chips. The avocado was soggy and brown (see pictures) and the cous cous was stodgy. The chips were undercooked and swimming in grease. I ate most of my fish and chips and didn't intend to complain about them as although poor, they were edible. However my daughter was unable to eat more than a couple of spoonfuls of the salad. We debated whether to comment on the food but as it was so awful we decided that the staff should know. The salad was 23 dollars and was not of an edible quality and we thought that it was unreasonable to charge this price for an inedible dish. . We expected an apology however what we got was a male waiter / supervisor who was extremely confrontational and condescending towards myself and my daughter. He agreed that the avocado was brown and soggy (see pictures) but stated that it tasted the same as green ones. He suggested that my daughter didn't understand what she had ordered and asked whether she had had tahini before. He talked over us both and when we tried to explain why the food was so bad he wasn't prepared to listen. He just kept challenging my daughter about her food choice stating that she hadn't understood what she had ordered. He seemed to suggest that somehow it was our fault.  He would not listen to us, talked over us and behaved in a bullying manner. He was charming when he introduced us to the hotel but clearly did not know how to deal with problems. He suggested that if we had complained immediately then he may have removed the soggy avocado and replaced it. He did not understand or in fact listen to us when we tried to explain that the whole dish was poorly prepared. In the end we paid as we just wanted to leave the restaurant as we felt that this male supervisor was just being condescending and rude. My 20 year old daughter left upset as she had felt bullied by him. I suspect that he would not treat 2 male guests in the same way. We were staying for 1 night at the empire Hotel where this restaurant was. This completely spoilt our experience and we just wanted to leave the hotel as soon as possible. The hotel itself is run down and shabby. However the rooms are only 99 dollars and we were not expecting luxury. This rate included breakfast and when we came down to the self serve breakfast room at 8am there was no bread left. I looked for a member of staff but reception was locked and no one was around. The orange juice had also gone with only apple left. I did not want the sweet cereals available and we therefore left without breakfast. We hated our stay here. Fortunately our other stays in tasmania have been good. 



Dreadful experience at the empire Hotel in deloraine

Menu was a bit tired with limited choice, a little surprising and looked like an old menu.  steak was a touch chewy and way over salted. Only one snitzel on  the menu being chicken and nothing special. No one in our group particularly excited with their meal.  Overall was a little disappointing

nothing special

Loved this hotel. Beautiful quaint hotel full of character, well presented rooms, parking at rear. Lovely town quiet with lovely walks along the river. Staff very friendly help yourselves breakfast on first-floor

Great hotel

We stayed a night after spending the day at Cradle Mountain. The room was perfect with newish looking private bathroom and double bed. It was clean and had everything we needed. We ate dinner (steak cooked exceptionally well) downstairs and enjoyed sitting outside with a wine and beer. Continental Breakfast is included in the room rate. Really personable team (mainly family) but felt good being welcomed into a friendly venue.

Great mid-range pub style accom

Our hosts Amanda and Mark were most hospitable and clearly love their jobs.
The accommodation was beautifully appointed with a nice firm queen sized bed which included a great Continental breakfast.
Quality of the meals in the pub downstairs were a pleasant surprise.
Bonus was the complimentary ‘platypus spotting tour’.

An enjoyable stay with character

I was staying overnight in Deloraine to catch up with friends from interstate. The Empire hotel is very central so that appealed, as did the historical nature of the location. 

This is a lovely, heritage listed hotel. The rooms have been upgraded so that you have your own bathroom and it is scrupulously clean and comfortable. 

I had the privilege of Tristan giving me the introduction to the site, facilities and parking etc. all my questions were answered.  We ate had dinner in the hotel which was fantastic. Great choices and good prices. 

Normally I just rate the location but I must do a shout out to Tristan who is an incredible young man who truly made my stay memorable with his impeccable customer service skills.   A lovely and comfortable stay.
