Taking one back to the glamour years
Liked the old world charm and history of the place. Breakfast was really good and even had one evening where a meal was had in the bar. Very good. Staff were very pleasant and friendly (even when asking for last orders). Very big car park. Not too far to walk to train station either.

Wonderful
Had a brilliant stay at the Imperial. Parked up a couple of hours early, no problem leaving the car, got checked in with a lovely lady who was on Reception and just had to pick up our key following an afternoon in Blackpool.
The building is full of history and the bar and entertainment room were lovely, as was the room.
Just as friendly on checkout as well and will look forward to returning!

Saturday night at the imperial
fantastic service at the restaurant and the bar , the food especially the evening meal was outstanding . Unfortunately for us we couldn’t get the radiator to turn off in the middle of the night , very hot in the middle of summer , the 4th floor dormer /attic rooms are noisey on windy nights , not suitable for people at 5’10 and above due to beams .

Great family stay!
Spent two nights here with my two young children, we really did have a good time in Blackpool! Breakfast was good. Little outside noise at night as we were trying to sleep, due to our room facing the alley way. But overall, great stay! Also want to thank the staff at the hotel as my daughter left her phone in the room, housekeeping handed it into reception who sent it out to us that same day! Received the phone next day delivery (along with a cheque I hadn’t realised I had dropped out my bag). Carelessness, I know but so thankful for the staff at this hotel!
