beautiful hotel with lovely views bedroom was large even though it was booked as a small bed was so comfy slept well every night staff at reception were very helpful

rooms were lovely and comfortable and spa facilities were really nice the only thing that was a bit annoying was the jacuzzi had loads of grit in it someone said it was from the filters or something but I've been in others that don't do that so was bit annoying other than that really lovely stay staff were nice too

fabulous building! lovely room overlooking the sea

A lovely stay at The Imperial.Great location relaxing and lovely views.Will definitely be back again

Excellent value for money staff are so helpful and can't do enough for you

Comfortable surroundings, atmosphere and amiable staff. Food outstanding. View perfect. The whole picture was one of comfort and relaxation.

The location with a view of the bay was excellent. The outdoor pool was a real treat. Overall it was a large 'British Hotel". However, the property overall felt a little tired. It would benefit from a general cleanup / repaint / updating. That said, it was a pleasant stay.

Lovely room with beautiful sea views.The hotel is in a great location.The bed was comfortable and a good size, rooms were very clean .Staff were helpful and friendly.Hotel is beautifully decorated throughout

The room had an amazing view. We all slept very well. Good air and a nice balcony. The room was big and there was enough room for everybody. This is an an amazing hotel with a-lot of history. The staff was friendly.

Lovely breakfast Room was big including a bath & 2 washbasins & plenty of wardrobe space
