Wonderful rejuvenation of a 1931 Hotel, keeping true to its era but with all the necessary modern touches for a great stay. Meal was excellent and staff exceptionally friendly. We even managed to enjoy some live music. Very happy to recommend. PS....the old school ceiling fans in the pub were amazing !!

Beautiful Hotel

Beautifully restored historic hotel. Our only criticism is that on a Fri they have live music which made it a little noisy but this finished at 11pm so nil sound issues after that. Our room was located near the stair case and this may be the reason for the noise.

The whole stay was very relaxing and pleasant. I must give a Gold Star to Asher the barman. He was so pleasant and helpful. We had a very small glitch and he personally fixed straight away. All the staff were pleasant and that makes a big difference to how one feels about a place. Well done, Imperial Hotel.

What a little gem. A newly renovated and stylish pub and rooms. The late night clientele are a little rusty but the accomodation is great. Staff were a little unsophisticated but friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend this place especially for the price!!

Well ' was asked to pay a security deposit of $100.00 upon arrival....Being a female pensioner of 70, thought this ridiculous....After some negotiating, paid $50.00 using my card .. Still not have been refunded this amount...Have rang several times, and have been promised the refund....Thing they are a bunchnof liars and scammers, not impressed.....Shame on this establishment.. .

The food at the restaurant was great. Just remember it's a pub downstairs. I hadn't anticipated how noisy it would be staying upstairs from the live music that was playing in the bar. At checkin I was told this noise would stop at 11pm, and it did - after which it was perfectly silent.

Delay to get checked in on arrival. It wasn’t clear where to go and had to wait for all drinks to be served before a staff member would check me in. Access to rooms via fire stairs was a disappointment. Room was clean cosy and comfortable. No room refreshment during three night stay. Had to ask for rubbish bag, toilet tissue etc. very convenient location however and small kitchenette was great. A microwave in the room would have been appreciated.
