Nice building, secure parking, good size room and fair price but unfortunately the mattress smelt of urine, had a topper on and wasnt immediately obvious. Unfortunately ruined the stay.

4/10 Fair
Room and hotel in general a little neglected, wardrobe in room 121 had a terrible smell inside, so was unusable for clothes storage. Reported on leaving. Food was poor and overpriced for the quality. 3 course from set menu, one glass of wine and some sparkling water was around £56. Breakfast was overpriced for quality, very greasy and fatty limited cooked selection. Would not recommend in current condition.

I awoke on Monday morning to a construction side outside my room. I said I wanted a refund, but the hotel staff were most obliging. They put me in one of their largest suites with sea views and a sitting room. I changed my mind about that refund. I was quite enchanted.

We stayed here for two nights in a Suite with a seaview. Trouble was the Balcony was off-limits due to planned maintenance supposedly.
I suspect it's more symptomatic of gradual decline to the building emphasised by grasses, weeds etc. growing unchecked on flat roofs and other areas. External windows don't looked like they've been cleaned all season.
The walls are very thin, you can hear conversations from adjoining rooms and floors are really creaky.
Be aware, if you book a standard room with a seaview you might get a 'sea-facing' room as views are mostly blocked by unchecked garden and tree growth.
On the plus side, staff are friendly and professional. The breakfast was of good/high quality content and service.
I suspect that without the coach business, this Hotel would really struggle.
The Hotel is very well located but is in terminal decline without major investment.

Lovely and clean
Outstanding cleanliness in the room. I’m very particular about cleanliness, especially with regard to pillows, sheets, duvet and bathrooms, and I have to say that everything was fantastically clean. The decor in the rooms is old, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing when the furniture still works and is well kept and clean. The grand, original lobby is very beautiful. It’s just a shame the original exterior of the building has been covered up, I suppose in the 70’s. Wonderful view over the bay. A great stay and we would come back.

Not as good as we were expecting
Reminds me of a fading Hollywood star who's still trying to live up to their image from decades ago.
The original parts of the building are looking tatty and the 60s outside looks worse.
VERY noisy plant room just below our room.
Staff are great and the views amazing, but these don't make up for the rest of the experience.
3 star hotel now at best not 4 and it must be so far below it's 5 star hayday.

Great hotel, staff and service.
Had a one night stay at the Imperial, staff were excellent and struck the right balance of attentiveness.
Room had a fantastic view, was spacey and comfortable.
Breakfast was really good, my wife has a dairy intolerance and they catered for this, at not time did they make it feel like it was an inconvenience.
It was a lovely one night stay, relaxing and would happily return.

The Victorian style is maintained overall, cleanliness standards and food delivery are good. Parking is unnecessarily expensive, many public areas need refurbishment including furniture, tv services in rooms is poor. Wifi is adequate.
