Comfortable room with sea view. We had the deluxe room although our balcony was overlooked from rooms on a side block next to us, so we didn't feel we could use it and if we had our curtains open to admire the sea view, other rooms could see straight in! Room clean and nice although could do with updating. Hotel position perfect and fabulous views, hotel in general very nice but looking a little tired. All in all a pleasant stay.

We had a lovely stay at The Imperial. We booked 2 nights as it was our wedding anniversary. We were seeing Russel Kane at the theatre and thought we would make a weekend of it. We were lucky with the weather. We walked everywhere from the hotel. Breakfast was relaxed and plenty of different options. We enjoyed the views from there too. We used the spa, it’s small but we enjoyed it. Steam room was hot and we felt extremely relaxed after. We decided not to try the outdoor pool as a little chilly, we would certainly want to go in on a warmer day. The staff were friendly and welcoming and despite a little hiccup with the bar. The hotel sorted it out and we will certainly return. We had a lovely stay. Thank you.

In desperate need of a make over but nice staff
At first sight of the hotel it is very obvious that it is in desperate need of some TLC. It stated 4 star but I would find it difficult to give it 3 stars. It probably would have been 4 star about 20 years ago. The staff more than make up for the tired property. They were more than helpful and could not do enough for us so 10/10 for them. The building itself has seen better days, the rooms were clean but very tired, new carpet, curtains and paint desperately needed. The bed was very comfortable and room spacious, since we got an upgrade to a room due to security of a lower room I was unable to leave window open. Excellent shower and bathroom was roomy. Variety of drinks in bar is limited and we did not eat in the restaurant. Not far from restaurants and bars but a bit of a hill climb on your way back. If renovated would stay here again.

The property requires a serious make over. Carpets in rooms and some corridors, need a good clean/replacement. The taps in our bathroom leaked and the bathroom light flickered constantly. Two of our wardrobes lacked a rail to hang clothes and the safe was situated on the floor of the wardrobe. (Receptionist was told on the first day of our stay and six days later nothing had changed!. A number of clients complained to us about the queuing regime before meals likening the process to ‘Butlins’

Love staying at the Imperial Hotel , have stayed here before . It is a lovely hotel, historical. Food is great , breakfast buffet style with service. Evening menu's good selection, lovingly cooked and beautifully presented. A little pricey, but you get top quality for that. Bar prices are as expected ££. Can highly recommend the Devonshire cream tea, its delicious. The rooms , the decor and furnishings could do with a little attention, for example fraying carpet near bathroom door threshold, some distressed furniture cupboards nailed shut and water marked wood. A timely upgrade maybe needed. I would suggest the addition of mini fridges in the rooms. Absolutely love the sea views and the people make this hotel a wonderful place to stay.
