The Imperial is a bit run-down and old fashioned. The room was large and fairly clean but the carpet could have done with a good hoover. The location is excellent - very close to the station and just off the high street - but our room overlooked the back of a pub so we had some loud noise from the glass bins being filled and emptied and there was also some bollards which issued a loud warning every time they were going up and down so it wasn’t the quietest night. Somehow we had breakfast included which I don’t remember asking for but we took it and it was very mediocre - eggs and bacon overcooked, very cheap sausages and the continental side was very basic. If you just need somewhere to doss down for a night it’s ok but not somewhere you’d recommend exactly.

My Second visit to this Hotel, and hopefully I will return. The Staff are attentive and friendly. A nice Bar and restaurant. The Hotel is a few steps away from the Main Street. My Room overlooked the Loch and was clean, and quiet.

The hotel is well located in the town, room was a twin and small. We where on motor bikes barely enough for us and gear. No luggage room, which didn't help breakfast ok. No good if you have mobility issues. Functional, not the best hotel of the trip but the most expensive 😫. Staff where very friendly and pleasant

Loved our room with view of the Loch. Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Great breakfast and location perfect. The only fault was the weak pressure on the shower.

Nice hotel!

Room was cozy. Small “issue” was the heater didn’t heat all the way to the top, but wasn’t a huge problem for us. Staff was super friendly and good was great!

Got a really rough welcome at check-in- simply for being one hour early- was reprimanded like a child. I almost turned around and left, from the level of rudeness. The people in the restaurant were lovely though!

Comfortable stay with friendly staff

Extremely helpful reception staff when it came to assisting with parking and providing information about the hotel - even organised someone to assist with luggage. Breakfast was very good.
