One night stay

The hotel was nice and clean. It was extremely busy and booking in at reception took a long while on the Saturday evening. There weren't enough staff to provide the service you would expect and as we had tickets booked for the theatre, we left and returned after our night out. We enjoyed the breakfast which was hot and tasty.

Disappointed Stay

Came back sweating from a run in the morning to find out there was no running water so couldn’t take a shower. Had to go for breakfast in sweaty running clothes as I didn’t want to put my one set of clean clothes on while still sweaty. Toilet flush was broken so didn’t flush properly. Television didn’t work. Friends who stayed in a same priced room on the same floor as us had a mini fridge, we didn’t. Room was dated, as an example the arms on the chair were worn through.

Hotel itself was really nice. On the first day we asked where the pool was and was told its not in use. This was the main point of booking this hotel. Rooms were very dated and had no air conditioning which was a big shame as it was a hit day and on the 4th floor extremely hot. Shower was very low anyone over the height of 5ft 6 would sruggle

I like this hotel and use regularly on a monthly basis. Yes, it’s a dated hotel, but its a very charming reminder of the beauty it once was in its day. The staff are very helpful, polite and friendly. As a lone female traveler, I feel safe here. Any room requests etc, they happily oblige.

Booked deluxe room, stayed previously a few years ago in the basic rooms and can't say there's much difference other than the view, although the view is nice but overall decent stay and average breakfast.

I last stayed in the Imperial, some 30 years ago. Now sadly it feels likes any other budget style hotel. Its finesse, and high standards of quantity, are sadly long gone.
