Charming hotel
This is the first visit to the imperial Torquay but will definitely be going back. The hotel is like it has been plucked out of a poirot movie, grand staircases, Chesterfield sofas, big wingback chairs, beautiful, right up my street. Had a double deluxe with a sea view and the room was huge, and spotlessly clean. 2 comfy chairs to take in the sea view, robes and slippers, toiletries and plenty of tea coffee and bottled water. The bar was reasonably priced, did not have the breakfast so can't comment on the food. It's a 5 minute walk to the harbour and 10 to the town, there is a harvester pub next door practically that are open all day and you can book a table. It was quiet when we went due to the time of year but still had a pleasent time. The on site parking is plentiful and £8.50 per night. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the imperial Torquay, the hotel was charming, elegant and full of character, just wish I had tried the pool and Spa, will pencil it in for when I go back.

No sleep
It was a lovely place to stay but sadly room 331 had a fan or something loud going off all night! So for 1 night away for a date night we could not sleep. Due to that i would not stay again which is a big shame. I recorded this and played it to reception on the way out apologies given.

This was an exceptional stay for the price. The standard room was more than enough. The location was perfect as close to town but just be aware it is up a hill for any accessibility walking.

Wonder place, a bargain for luxury, historic
They were amazing. The staff went out of the way to accommodate my extra needs: adding nights to my booking and providing a ramp for access to the dining room. They even arranged for an in-room refrigerator for my medication. Really attentive and courteous.

Impressive Hotel
A very impressive well run Hotel, certainly one of the best inTorquay. Very well maintained even Brasses still being polished. Room warmth and comfortable, plenty of amenities eg Gym, spa suana at no extra charge.spacious longes and large restuarant. Well worth staying at with in a room with outdoor balcony overlooking the bay.
