Hotel was clean and tidy excellent staff, only complaint I had was showering and contractor turned the water off which left me half way through a shower still with shampoo in my hair and had to wait an hour for it to be turned back on not the hotel fault and they were apologising and said that they did not inform the hotel that the water was going to be turned off. Overall stay was pleasant, and would definitely return.

Perfect location
This Hotel was in a perfect location with amazing views over the sea yet right in town. It was typical of an old seaside establishment, a little tired but clean but was undergoing refurbishment so can’t wait to see the changes. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful but seemed a little overstretched. I would definitely go there again

Nice hotel, lovely stay.
We arrived at the hotel to a lovely receptionist called Emma, our room wasn't quite ready so she put our bags safe and showed us to the bar/dining area. We were welcomed by the bartender who was friendly and polite. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. TV maybe a little small but adequate and we weren't intending to stay in the room lol the time. We had breakfast which was of a good standard and plentiful. There was parking nearby and not too expensive. We were on the top floor and there was a lift available. All the staff we encountered were polite and friendly. It was a pleasure to stay there and we'd use it again.

In fairness, there are a lot of ups and downs with the Imperial. The location is excellent, my room was clean and tidy, and the cost was more than reasonable. Niggles would include very low water pressure, a droopy showerhead, and a laughably small TV. But It’s hard to ask too much considering the cost. Clearly this grande dame’s best years may have been many decades ago, but she’s still got some life in her. I’m hopeful that with her ongoing renovations, many good years are still ahead.

We don’t have any complain. Many thanks.

The staff were very helpful and worked hard to deliver excellent customer service. The new owners "Crest Hotels" have some very strange policies that impact on the customer experience i.e. one hand towel to be shared between two people. Two tea bags maximum for two people per day, No hand soap, One toilet roll for two people per day, Rooms not serviced daily unless you hand your room keys in to reception. Very minimal room service bathroom not cleaned during our 5 night stay.

Good location on the wall of the old town. Hotel is definitely showing its age and does not look as good as it does in the pictures. Room had poor ventilation with the windows stuck closed.

Wait till the refurbishment is finished
Our room and bathroom was not clean. Just outside our window was a ledge that was covered with cigarette butts. Not pleasant at all. Having said that, the sheets and linen were clean and the shower was lovely and strong.

Property was in a fantastic location, but was run down with white wash and paper over the cracks and mould (literally). Additionally the bathroom was not clean on arrival, with the loo even unflushed. Staff were good and the breakfast was the saving grace. Did not look like the website in any way shape or form. On the whole, disappointed and would not stay again which is a shame as it's location was 10/10 as I say.

Stunning location but tired and worn decor
Needs an update, stunning location but the worn decor and poor workmanship to repair lets it down.
