Reception were very friendly, polite and helpful. Parking was free if you reserve a space which was rather handy. The hotel is very well placed on the sea front and close to pubs, food and an amusement arcade.

The moment you walked through the door to be met by the beaming smiles of Ingo the manager, and his reception staff, right through too the dining room staff, who are mostly Eastern European, and very highly trained and efficient. We found the hotel very clean, and the... More

I came to stay here as a get away break with my family but ended up going home early due to it being absolutely awful. Very dated hotel with horrible smell. Shower leaked, radiators were wired up with masking tape, wallpaper falling off and hair in the bed. The hotel made our break ruined and would not recommend to anyone.... More

The imperial is one of Alfa coaches Leisureplex hotels and very much standardised to the coach firm's requirements. On the one hand the coach trips are very well organised and comfortable with plenty of stops on the way and excursions once in resort. The hotel itself although in need of some refurbishment and redecoration, is very clean and comfortable, right... More

Well, this is a tricky one to review without mentioning that the stay at his hotel was with a coach trip with the coach firm Alpha.
