In its day it would have been the place to go, it’s now showing its age, a little tatty in places, but it’s ok, rooms are comfortable enough, breakfast very good, enough parking, check in a bit slow. Overall 7 out of 10

Great location
The check in process was the longest I've ever had in my life. Only one person was on check in at peak time on a Friday night and he was extremely slow. The room was big, warm and had a very hot shower. Reception in the morning were helpful in extending the parking for 24 hours for free, thank you!

Best break ever
Our stay was so relaxed and chilled out. The staff was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very spacious ans well equipped. The bed was so comfortable and I have not had a good nights sleep like that for a long time.

The Imperial Hotel is a delightful period property along Blackpool's promenade with good sized rooms and corridors and plenty of breakout areas. The beds are big and comfortable and breakfast is varied and nourishing. I highly recommend it.

Excellent breakfast. Shower needs updating struggled switching off not powerful so water kept running hot and cold. Had 3 hairdryer which 2 of them didn't work, third hairdryer was blowing cold. But apart from all that staff was excellent.

Lovely hotel , wasnt so keen on the view.
The hotel was beautiful, decorated to match its lovely regal 1800's build and all of the furnishings were well cared for and clean. Upon arrival, parking was difficult due to spaces being so tightly packed in and the £10 per night to park there was a bit of a naughty, previously undisclosed addition to the price. Our room was lovely, well spaced out, clean and jad everything it needed, but the view was awful. Granted we had one of the cheaper standard rooms, but I thought £200 for 2 nights would have got us a bit of a better view than the side of a roof, so be careful if you are in an odd numbered level 1 room, it will not be a sea view or picturesque courtyard. (Cant upload picture as website isnt letting me upload) Breakfast was nice enough for the price of £12 with plenty of choice. My only other quibble was the misleading information about NHS discount. They bragged a 20% discount on the healthservice discounts website, but when i brought this up, the server had not heard of it, upon speaking to a manager they confirmed that they stopped nhs discount after Covid rules relaxed, but hadnt cancelled it on the website! They should have honoured the discount as it was their error, and i gave up my discount at the local premier inn to support an independent business.
