Very tired property, black mould in shower, water had no pressure for a shower and couldn't get hot. No hand soap in rooms, windows dirty. They also have works going on and scaffolding was being erected before 9am on a sunday, very noisy

Fantastic view with the best room in architecturally significant hotel. All this outweighed the relatively dismal state of the public areas and the sub-Britannia breakfast. Once things have improved under the new ownership this will be a goldmine for staff and owners.

The location is really nice it’s a shame the hotel is falling apart. The rooms are old and battered, TV didn’t work, no heating, shower leaks onto the floor and woodlice in the room. Not what was advertised whatsoever

About to be refurbished and desperately needs it. Room was very dated and not worth the money we paid but was clean. Staff were superb & very friendly. Breakfast was good selection but cold. Very dog friendly and everyone made our dog welcome. This will be a gem of a hotel when refurbishment completed. It’s in an excellent location on the seafront

Perfect location
This Hotel was in a perfect location with amazing views over the sea yet right in town. It was typical of an old seaside establishment, a little tired but clean but was undergoing refurbishment so can’t wait to see the changes. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful but seemed a little overstretched. I would definitely go there again

Avoid altogether or refuse room 23,
Hotel is in a good location, room is very tired , carpet badly soiled, floor very uneven, and bed is the most uncomfortable bed ive ever slept in - in fact ive not been able to sleep- suffering with a bad back today - regretting paying the extra to stay here as really overpriced, if you check in and given room 23 refuse it the springs are poking through the mattress and they have put wood underneath the mattress where the bed base is broken

Nice hotel, lovely stay.
We arrived at the hotel to a lovely receptionist called Emma, our room wasn't quite ready so she put our bags safe and showed us to the bar/dining area. We were welcomed by the bartender who was friendly and polite. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. TV maybe a little small but adequate and we weren't intending to stay in the room lol the time. We had breakfast which was of a good standard and plentiful. There was parking nearby and not too expensive. We were on the top floor and there was a lift available. All the staff we encountered were polite and friendly. It was a pleasure to stay there and we'd use it again.

In fairness, there are a lot of ups and downs with the Imperial. The location is excellent, my room was clean and tidy, and the cost was more than reasonable. Niggles would include very low water pressure, a droopy showerhead, and a laughably small TV. But It’s hard to ask too much considering the cost. Clearly this grande dame’s best years may have been many decades ago, but she’s still got some life in her. I’m hopeful that with her ongoing renovations, many good years are still ahead.

The staffs are so friendly and always smile, easy to communicate with us deaf. It’s very great to view and good location. The room makes us tired and very small shower and little dirty carpet like old. Other, wallpaper have peel old and furniture is old too. Hope so will be new decoration soon. We don’t have any complain. Many thanks.

The staff were very helpful and worked hard to deliver excellent customer service. The new owners "Crest Hotels" have some very strange policies that impact on the customer experience i.e. one hand towel to be shared between two people. Two tea bags maximum for two people per day, No hand soap, One toilet roll for two people per day, Rooms not serviced daily unless you hand your room keys in to reception. Very minimal room service bathroom not cleaned during our 5 night stay.
