Lovely hotel right on the sea front sadly I booked late so had a room at the back! It was ok! Room comfortable but very dated and tatty had all I needed though! Didnt eat there, barman was nice and a drink on the terrace was lovely! The receptionist was very kind and changed my room from the basement as I was travelling solo! I would stay again but a sea view room which looked so much better!

We have been going to The Imperial for over 20 years and seen many changes. Its an old building but well kept and comfortable. The grounds are well kept but will never be "beautiful". It suits us and we hope to be able to return for a few more years.

Cleanliness ok Didn't like breakfast buffet and for a hotel that size and grandeur you would expect waitress service and tablecloths. Bed very uncomfortable and felt like springs coming through mattress. Grounds excellent upkeep.

Great location but worst bed ever.

Excellent location virtually on dog friendly beach. Sea view room very strongly advised. Our only but major complaint was the mattress which should have been replaced years ago. Both sides collapsed, one side so bad it needed a rolled towel placed under it to stop you rolling off the edge.
