Was upgraded to sea view room with lovely view. Bathrooom needs a refresh as does hotel generally especially restaurant area, big room with no character. Staff were polite. Bar area okay but not sure staff have been trained very well, gin and tonic in white wine glass. Restaurant food was very average and starters were awful. Very expensive wine list.

Great location on the beachfront. Well maintained property with clean rooms and the extras you would expect - safety deposit box, ironing board etc. I wasn't particularly impressed with the in house toiletries which seemed cheap. Staff were all friendly and helpful and parking was easy and included in the booking price. Breakfast was fine but a little underwhelming. There was a good but not extensive range on offer. The breakfast room itself was pleasant and calm. All in all a good hotel. Would happily return.

Hotel overall was good. We were upgraded to sea view room which was nice. Rooms were clean and modern. Had everything you needed for your stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and dining area was pleasant. The spa was disappointing. Really needs some TLC. Very dated, could do with some attention. Changing rooms were not very clean. Unfortunately there were children having swimming lessons so not a nice relaxing experience 😞and difficult to have a proper swim. So that did let it down but overall had a nice stay.

Beautiful place in a lovely setting. Across the road from the beach. Staff could not do enough for us, very welcoming and polite. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. Restaurant food was lovely and staff very attentive to my other half’s food allergies and checked everything through with her and were more than willing to make any changes to her meal that was required.

We had a lovely stay at Hythe Imperial Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, and my room was spotless, comfortable and very well presented. What really made the experience though was the staff, such a friendly and welcoming team. The girls at check-in and at breakfast were especially lovely. Breakfast was really good, with plenty of choice and high quality food. It was also a real treat to be able to use the spa facilities and properly relax during our stay. The location is perfect as well – being right by the beach made it even more special. We would definitely return and highly recommend it!
