What Makes Idle Inn Empire: Hotel Tycoon Stand Out
HEY, INNKEEPER, GOT A ROOM FOR THE KNIGHT?
Looking for a fun idle game that takes you back in time? Welcome to the Middle Ages in this crazy tavern clicker game! As most of the arguments here end with a fight, we need a new innkeeper for the Fat Boar Inn! Ready for a management game that’s a real challenge? In this original simulator game, build a medieval hotel empire and become a hospitality tycoon.
Historic tavern game: Had enough of cheap motels and corporate hospitality? In this original hotel simulator, you can become a tavern tycoon: provide rest for weary travellers by running a real medieval inn: construct new rooms, buy furniture and upgrade it all to bring the maximum comfort the Middle Ages can offer to your guests.
Build a tavern empire: From the remote mountains to the bustling metropolis, the game already has eight inns in very different environments for you to explore and expand. Open and improve them all in this hotel simulator to become a real medieval magnate.
Let the feasting begin: Operate a kitchen and bar to satisfy visitors’ needs with medieval delicacies and THOUSANDS OF LITRES of drink for your tavern’s thirsty guests. Give them roast venison with ale, and keep the gruel to a minimum if you want to progress in the game.
Old-fashioned business: Make your purse swell and get the resources you need by providing the very best in medieval service, meeting your visitors’ needs, and hiring new staff to keep the coin rolling in while you’re not in the game.
Good inn-vestment: Plough your profits back into the business in this tavern clicker game by purchasing new services including restaurants, more luxurious lodging, and fun facilities including gyms, bathhouses and beaches to turn your inn into a luxury medieval resort.
What’s on at the inn? Explore a whole range of exotic services – fight at the coliseum, chill at the bathhouse or explore exciting new activities like fishing, bar games and diving.
Medieval menagerie: As you progress through the game, collect cute pets and adorable farmyard animals that will roam around your taverns to the delight (and surprise) of your guests.
Bring me masons! Become a builder and construct spectacular landmarks that will really make your inn stand out from the crowd and boost your idle income in the game!
Time off from the tavern: Take a break from the medieval hospitality business to compete in the Chocolate Factory and Fishing events, with more fun and exciting special locations coming soon!
MAKE SURE THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM AT THE INN

Community Insight:
Love this game for realbut, when will we be seeing new inns and/or events? Its been saying coming soon for well over a year now, maybe more than 2is soon ever coming.
Please add more events and inns.
Great game relaxing fun to play.
Please update this game! Add levels, make holiday themes, new events – literally anything.
Like the how much the game gives you lot to do and gameplay is well balanced 10/10.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD A NEW HOTEL IM BEGGING we LOVE THIS GAME.
Please update and add new hotels!! Been playing this game for yearsss we need more hotels.
Awesome and Unique graphics and animations! Easy, fun gameplay! Removing ads totally worth it.
Couple ads but there pretty much optional, love the concept of working each hotel to 5 stars and chipping away at it.
The guests dont actually use the rooms and then they dont become available for use again.
No annoying ads every 2 minutes ( unless we choose to get extra) No 3 day wait time for upgrades to finish PLEASE DONT CHANGE A THING.
First, there are no bugs/glitches.Next, there are so many things to do like build landmarks or get a new room.Also, we like how you added magic into it by making magic generators.Last, you can join guilds and then compete with other guilds.In conclusion, this is one of the best games ever created.
This game is fun but it could add more details to it like adding trades into our guilds to help each other out.
Pretty enjoyable idle inn simulator, with plenty of events to keep you occupied. It has a prestige option so you can build up each level the more you replay, which is a lot of fun. We do wish the devs would add in new content though, since it has said new inns are coming forever, yet we dont get new ones.
Laggy and we cant seem to collect rewards. Not to mention we thought it was cool watching them leave and join back in the morning but it seems like they wont follow their hours.
Id give it 5 stars bc we like games like this one HOWEVER 2 stars are final bc ever since we got to the Jolly Fish Inn, our progress will not save. Ive been at this stupid location for several days now trying to get enough progress HOPING to save something! It took us 2 days to get to 2 stars at this Inn. Every time the pop up for ad-free ticket comes on, we cant navigate. The screen is frozen at a certain location (wherever Im at when the pop up opens), so we depend on the missions page to get us from one area to another. Its extremely frustrating! We would have spent some money for the game but now Im being forced to delete it bc we cant progress. :( PLEASR FIX IT.
This game has not been updated for over a year. Once you reach the last level, thats it. If you want to keep playing theres a recycle start over from the beginning option. Basically the developers have abandoned this game. To bad, its a really fun game that goes nowhere.
We really love this game, and would give it 5 stars, but Ive been playing for maybe a week and a half and Im on the last inn. You guys (developers) seriously need to add more levels/ inns. The event inns help, but we shouldnt be almost done with the main game in such a short time period.
Offering rewards for ads? We watch them left and right for free area upgrades or gold needed for magic kettles. They're really helpful in events as well. Forcing your players to watch ads? You should step back, play the full release yourself, and ask yourself if the forced ads are still a good idea. You'll probably see it our way then.
This is our most played game. Im on our second rebuild. We assume they are not done with development. We do get tired of the ads but Im usually relaxing watching tv when Im playing so we alternate between the 2.
This game is cute and fun so far.
This app recently (literally within the week we think) did an update. After the update the app kept telling us we needed to update everytime we logged in to play. So we followed the prompt that said if update and still issue, uninstall app and reinstall did that. And when we logged in after reinstalling all our progress was gone. All of it. We tried reaching out to in-app chat support, no answer. Tried emailing the developer, email bounced back. Came here to find different developers, so we emailed them. THAT EMAIL BOUNCED TOO. Its fun while it lasts but god forbid they update, you better pray that the update doesnt make you lose all progress. If the developer reaches out, will update here.
If you enjoy being asked for money every 60 seconds then this is the game for you.
This used to be a decent game until ya had to hold a button down for tips/revenue. Thqt completely moves you away from where you were working 9 times out of 10.. Frustrating. We are about to stop playing the game. We too paid for no ads.. Fix asap.. Dumb change.
We used to love this game. We played it all the time and found it engaging and relaxing. We even paid the extra money for the managers and ad skip. Recently a new feature was added that makes you push and hold a button to collect tips instead of collecting automatically. This new feature has absolutely ruined the game for us and our guild mates. We hope you fix it in a future update, because we really enjoyed building our little inns and watching our customers.
Like this game but there are certain ads that are glitching you watch it but it wont complete so you can return to the game and receive the rewards you watched it for. And that is so annoying because you have to exit the entire game and go back in the you still didnt receive the reward and its just one particular ad that does this which makes you not want to play the game. Please fix it.
Why did you make money collectable manually from activities such as restaurants and bars and other things ? This is so trippy and you have to keep looking for them. Such a wrong decision, not intuitive at all.
App stops working after the 3 or 4th level.
Its been a while when can we expect a new inn? We were so excited when the Halloween one came but that was sooo long ago! More inns pleaseeeeee.
We love this game and Ive been playing with the ads free version for definitely a year now on and off. Its always when we return to, even though Ive played it through twice! Please please build more hotels.
We have been playing this game for a few years now. We love it so much, it is very relaxing. Definitely happy we purchased the no ads early on. The only reason we dont give it 5 stars is because Ive been waiting forever for the next inn level to finally open.
Lots of freemason symbolism. Not worth playing.
Yo start this has the slowest progression Ive ever seen for an idle money collecting/building game. This is due to night cycle where there is no profit . Magic requirement will stone wall you. On top of that its FORCES ADS. Main example is using in game currency (coins) to add a roomyou guessed AD in order to add it. Upgrading to the next quest line of quests.. You guessed it AD The actual choice ADS to gain a benefits are not very rewarding. Will get you past a single issue you are running into (usually money to buy magic). DELETE.
Then the forced ads hit. We instantly deleted. No thanks on ads every click we do.
The new update has no profit offline for chopper outpost. Not sure why but the previous inns has it.
Im just going to be honest and say that we dont leave a lot of reviews, whether we do or dont like a product. However, this game is wonderful! It is so relaxing! And when you pay for no ads, they really mean no ads!!! The best part?? You still get the same rewards as watching ads but you dont have to watch them! You just get the reward instead. Now, Ive played lots of mobile games and we have purchased the no ads on a lot of them. But, you still have to watch ads if you want certain rewards. Ugh. On this game you dont have to! 10/10 recommend.
Dear Saygames ltd, so you make the brew of time can you make the brew of events time for more events income for your next update please ? From NoahIpad123.
Seriously, this app is great!!! You can pay to play or you can play for free and watch ads for extra bonuses. The levels are really fun and are all different. Every time you think you know what the next level is going to be, its a surprise. There are events every couple of days that rotate out on top of the levels so you wont get bored! Our only complaint is that there arent that many levels! We really hope they release some soon.
We love this game and recently redownloaded it after taking a break. We would love to restart but since we are connected to our Game Center, we cannot reset simply by uninstalling and reinstalling. We would love if the creators could add a reset button in the settings to restart your progress and maybe a skip tutorial button in their games.
This game is supposed to have an old folky tavern feel to it. But the execution on this could be way better. We dont think devs put much effort into it their own theme. Something as simple as dialogue can ruin the entire theme youve built. The character that takes you through the tutorial uses gen Z slang and DESTROYED the entire feel of the game within the first 2 minutes of us downloading the app. We tried to tough it out for a couple weeks to try and get over it but more inconsistencies with the theme kept coming up. It was more confusing than anything. At this point devs should have just made the theme modern and it would have worked out better.
Make some new Inns! Its said coming soon for years!!! This game needs new content badly for those of us who have been playing for a long time. And we dont mean just events. Make more Inns please. Weve waited long enough.
We have never in our life seen a game that tries so hard to get you to spend money. Ads everywhere, pop ups all over both sides of the screen. You really should be ashamed of yourselves. Pay to play is one thing, but why make it so annoying? We pay for some games, and have no problem with it. But you wont be getting a dime from us.
We never write reviews but this game is genuinely fun! Its consistent and fair. We paid the $10 to be able to skip the ads and still get the rewards you would get for watching the AD which is HUGE! We dont spend money in games very often at all but we can say this was TOTALLY worth it..except if we had known there wasnt a realistic long term amount of INNS to keep playing on past say a month of gameplay we might have reconsidered. We didnt look that far ahead. We really hope they add new INNS! If they did they would probably have a lot more participation in the events (which are also fun by the way!) we just dont see all our hard work really getting us much farther unfortunately and that is sad bc its a really fun game and addictive in a good way.
The ads for this game are 100% what youll get by playing and you just dont see that anymore. We play frequently so Im hoping more inns get added soon cuz Im almost to the end.
We have been playing this game for a few hours now and we are already obsessed. We got the no ads for 10 bucks and its definitely worth it. It makes the playing the game, and the overall experience so much better.
Now after update theres forced ads. Used to have freewill to watch ads only for rewards. Pls fix this before we uninstall. Regretted updating immediately, that was a sneaky move SayGames.
Though it may look like another cash grab game, it is actually very entertaining for a simple mobile game where you run a inn, there are no forced adds, you can get special currency without spending irl money. Overall a very good game.(for a phone).
We would give this game 5 stars. But we cant because of all the unused money in the old inns. Once finished the missions on the inn and you proceed to the next one you keep making money on the old inn but cant do anything with that money. We mean technically if you really had these business you would be able to transfer money freely. We mean maybe and update will provide more quests to the older inns. It seems like a bunch of wasted money.
A lot of the ads in the game are glitched. The ads it self is already like 45 seconds long and with the glitch it goes over a minute per ad. Have to push it every time when it half way to play it. Pleases fix the glitch problem. The ads are long enough already without the glitch.
We are on our 5th time through the inns and Im continuing to enjoy this game. Ive played many different idle games but once finished, theres not much else to it. This one allows you to start over with some bonuses every time you finish. The events that go on almost daily are also super fun. We wish the merge event happened more than once a week as its our favorite one.
