The Imperial Hotel

Room decoration very poor,needs new carpet,bathroom needs updating,Not told of steps in room.Paid for breakfast was not told when we booked that breakfast did not start until 7-30,when we needed to leave at 7-15

Friendly helpful staff

the double beds were the smallest I have ever seen

Rooms were tired and needed updating, some guest noise from adjacent rooms

Good location

Didn't get a wink of sleep because of distruptive guests above our room.Not happy with my stay.

I am afraid there was nothing to like really. Basic hotel - worse than expected even for price

Not too clean - tatty. Uncomfortable bed - horrible room - old bathroom

Friendly staff, good location, great value for money, sunny and comfortable room

The lift needs replacing - it creaked to much that I was frightened to use it and was also extremely slow.

the size of the room was good

very tired decoration, the room had a strange smell and the bed was not very comfortable

Hotel ideally situated for restaurants, pubs and cricket ground

Dissapointed with reception staff not very helpful, 24 hours reception took 20 minutes to find staff for key

the staff where friendly the rooms clean

the cooked breakfast was cold water for tea /coffee cold

The efficiency and helpfulness of the staff, the location of the hotel and its old-world atmosphere

The only minor drawback were the whims of water taps - the hot water tap in the bath tub got stuck one evening and would not turn on and the other night would not turn off. I had to call the reception to send up somone to turn off the hot water which they very kindly did. Otherwise everything was O.K.

bed comfortable, good location for beach

clean hotel but needs an update. Lift very slow

Room was clean

Very poor shower facilities

Bed was comfortable. Clean bathroom. Friendly staff.

The quality of the room was in no way represented by the photos on the website. The photos show spacious, light rooms with a large bed and lots of room. In fact it was an attic room with a sloping ceiling across the room, noisy, creaky floors in the corridor to keep me awake when people passed. A definate smell of smoking and a poor view of the back streets. This was despite my selecting the most expensive double available at the time. The TV remote didn't work. The Internet (£5 extra) doesn't allow VPN connection for work.

nothing

the left is always busy and slow the vistors have to take ther bag to there rooms you can hear any thing moving in the hotel

breakfast was cooked to order and very quick next to seafront so nice for a stroll nice communal areas

decor of rooms old. cracked tiles in bathroom. shower broken and ran down wall and onto floor. worn carpet. worn wallpaper. wifi very temperamental bar opening hours very temperamental no food available apart from mornings overpriced 100+ for what it was

It had walls and a roof

Everything else

Reasonable price

Nothing

The prices are competitive most of the time, but the facilities are quite basic so the price is realistic. But this is good. However it is clean and it caters for what I need. I visit Brighton frequently to visit family and friends. The staff are helpful and friendly.

I object to paying £4 for an internet connection. This is very steep and the connection never works. At Christmas last minute we were moved without notice to another hotel in the chain and this was very inconvenient as we only stay at Imperial because it is so close to my brother's house. The extra fifteen minute walk, every time we needed to pop back to the hotel was very annoying and we got no upgrade or compensation nor even an apology.

Breakfast was fab- good choice and staff were really good

Room was a bit tired and looking at over a fire escape

Clean & close to beach.

The guest book says free wireless internet. The lady at the desk said it was Five pound/day...

very helpful staff

uncomfortable bed wee bit pricey

Friendly and easy access to the beach and entertainment my daughter was doing the marathon which was a bit of a walk to the start but not too bad

Parking wasn't brilliant but we were lucky to find a space outside the hotel which cost us £20 for the two nights but compared with the ncp £75 I thin we had a bargain

The staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent value. Really close to hove high street and brighton centre about 15 mins walk. Beach at the end of the road

Rooms were a bit hot as heating on all the time. Ok once windows open

I used the hotel as I was running the Brighton Marathon. The staff were very friendly and the room was comfortable and large. I was rather anxious as the reviews for the hotel were not great, but the stay was fine apart from the outrageous price of the room!!

The price was more than double the usual rate on the Brighton Marathon Saturday. This was really mean as most runners are doing this challenge for charity and and to profit from this seems very cynical indeed. £130 for a hotel of this quality was, frankly, a complete rip-off and blatant profiteering!!

Friendly atmosphere, closeness to the beach, possibility to order taxi on site, water heater in room, good breakfast, Tyrone, the waiter is very sweet and funny.

Small room, wifi has to be purchased extra.
