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.

Great stay in a lovely hotel.
We stayed in room 20. A seaview deluxe. It was fabulous. Huge, with a lovely bathroom. The shower was unbelievably powerful. Fantastic sea views from our terrace. A huge bed. Plenty of storage. We were concerned about being next to the garden entrance but it wasn't a problem at all. The only things we'd change were perhaps we'd have liked a blind in the bathroom due to it's location. And we thought we were getting feather pillows but we didn't. We could probably have asked at reception but for 2 nights it didn't seem worth bothering anyone. However neither of these stopped us enjoying ourselves and we'll be back hopefully.

An absolutely stunning location and a huge seaside hotel. The rooms were very clean and the view simply beautiful. My boss used the spa and indoor pool and said they were great. The staff were lovely, but there was simply not enough of them. Room service was hard to get hold of and on my second night when I wanted a breakfast card and wake up call, I could not get through to either, it rung out at least 20 times. In the end I made coffee in my room and had the biscuits for breakfast, as I was leaving early. This is just not acceptable when you are travelling on business. The management need to address this and sort it. The room service food was 4/10, badly presented and not great at all. Both my boss and I thought so. You need to address the food choices and quality. Overall, we both loved the hotel, but it needs investment on decor and what it offers. I think the owner needs to decide on this. As I said, the staff were lovely, but appeared to be doing multiple jobs like running the bar and delivering room service.

Disappointed. Booked a sea view room with balcony. Were allocated a garden room which can be used with pets, we were not happy with this due to allergies. They gave a free upgrade to a sea view suite but doors to balcony were locked. Asked to be moved but were told not possible as all rooms with balcony access were taken. It was important to us to have balcony access not extea rooms we didnt use. Drinks were a reasonable price, but not enough bar staff. Meals expensive. Hotel itself well kept on the inside but outside definitely needs a repaint and a derelict building just next to the main entrance makes you think "oh dear, where have we booked". Garden area needs a gardener to take it in hand and access to garden and re-entry to hotel needs signage. All in all enjoyed our stay, definitely a hotel for 50+ age group.

The location of the hotel and the view from the room was absolutely fantastic, the staff were also nice, but unfortunately in all parts of the hotel you could feel the old glory and majesty of this place, which needs a lot of time and investment to regain its luster and charm..There was a good selection for breakfast, but the food was uninteresting and most of the dishes were not washed well, and the whole building smelled old, so we were a bit disappointed and we will prefer another place next time..
