My first time in this hotel and I was more than happy with the overall stay, the place itself is enormous, took almost 10 minutes to walk to the gym! the decor is lovely and suitable given the age of the property, all staff were wonderful and the meals were delicious. Would stay here again.

Hotel lobby certainly gave the wow factor, staff friendly and very easy to approach. Bedroom was comfortable and clean although dated. We happened to stay when storm Bert was at his finest, so poor sleep due to windows rattling and whistling, curtains didnt quite meet either. Had a room with a balcony although could not use due to maintenace. Bath an added plus!! Did not eat, so cannot comment on food choices. Parking bays quite small but had plenty. Only a 10 minute walk to town centre. Would consider staying again.

The hotels best features are the view of the sea and also the original Victorian decor. Parking is easy and the dining room is spacious and comfortable, again with a super view. Rooms are clean though All would benefit from upgrades and renewals to, for example, furniture. Dining is good and Breakfast is very nice. Stuff are helpful and sometimes very helpful and the location is quiet.

Beautiful room with balcony overlooking the bay. Well thought out with all amenities. Spa needed updating in some areas - air filter in shower in spa covered in dust, hairs on the floor, grouting dirty in places. Spa facilities good, pool and jacuzzi good temperature. All in all a good stay.

This is a really nice hotel. The room was spacious and clean, had everything we needed and the bed was really comfy. We had a room overlooking the road and had the windows open so it was a little noisy but not overwhelming and what you'd expect really. We've stayed in a sea view room previously where the only was literally the sea but the room was older and a little more "tired" but still well equipped and clean so I guess it all balances out. Parking is easy.

We had a nice stay at the Imperial. We booked a double room but on our second night there was a leak in our bathroom. The hotel kindly upgraded us to a king room as we had to move from our room. We would stay again but would book a king room next time. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was very good. We may try and book for Christmas.

This is a wonderful hotel. Spacious, comfortable and quiet rooms. And excellent restaurant with views over Torbay. The bar has an outside patio that also offers stunning views. The pool is great with steam room, jacuzzi and saunas. There is a secluded pebble beach next to the hotel that's very pleasant. Our only issue is that the car park is too small and the spaces are also too thin for modern cars. A very minor issue though.
