We had a lovely stay at the Imperial. Although on arrival we thought the exterior looked tired and was worried about what the interior would be like. Nevertheless we needed not to be concerned as it is in a very good condition internally. Our room was a nice size and probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever had at a hotel. The breakfast was of a good standard. One tiny complaint is they I had to.pay for the car park. Overall it’s a lovely hotel, nice staff and a very pleasant stay in Torquay.

Breakfast veggie options needed more replenishment. Room 424 decor room tired, bathroom extremely dusty and in dire need of a new bathroom, to keep inline with the ‘deluxe’ room, the view was deluxe but sadly the room isn’t. Staff amazing, helpful. Lovely touch tk be allowed to keep vehicle in car park an hour or two longer after check out.
