Spotlessly clean in the room and very convenient for the beach. We were on the ground floor so we couldn’t see the sea although we had a view of the garden. Parking was easy although there was a daily charge.

The hotel and Exmouth felt like stepping back in time and felt like Miss Marple could walk in at anytime. Parts of the property were a little dated and require an update/refurb. Unfortunately the weather was really hot so the room was quite warm although a fan was supplied AC would have helped. The bar staff, maintenance and Manager were great. There was an unfortunate incident which all of the staff especially the bar staff and manager handled with consideration and empathy. Ideally located and outside area and terrace were lovely.

The outside of the building needs some attention but the room we stayed in was very spacious and clean. The restaurant and bar are very nice and I loved the high ceilings. It was in an ideal location.

The Imperial is adequate for a one night stay. Bar area was clean and staff friendly and service amenable. Bedrooms are clean. Bed was ok. Room extremely hot, fan in room didn’t help. Did not try hotel meals so cannot comment on standards etc.

The room we had was very clean with a newly refurbished en-suite. A lift was available, which we were happy to see. Breakfast was very good, a great selection was available, just help yourself. The Hotel has it's own car park, but it will cost you £6 per night! I will definitely recommend this Hotel.

The staff in all my dealing both on line and in person have been extremely helpful and efficient. reception helped me up the stairs at the rear with my bags and the lady on the desk in reception was friendly and welcoming. As were the waiting staff in the dining room.(we ate there for two breakfasts and two evening meals. the quality of the food was of a high standard and well presented. breakfast was buffet style and this was well stocked with plenty of choice of juices, cereals continental or the full English. Dinner Choice was good with a meat a fish or vegetarian vegan option,..staff asked about food allergies and plates were cleared away as soon as all diners at the table had finished .with minimal waiting for next course to appear. The communal areas were smartly decorated Bar staff efficient and friendly. the only observation i would have is that the furniture in my room was dated and had signs of wear and tear but there was plenty of starage a wardrobe , chest of draws and a dressing table two bedside cabinets and plenty of plug sockets to put chargers and my CPAP machine beside the bed without need of extention cables . there was also a powerful hair dryer and a large fan . I would happily stay at this hotel again by myself in the future it felt very safe and a home from home. the bar area and garden veranda and grounds were well tended and the gate at the bottom of the grounds leads out to the main sea front road and the beautiful sandy beach. Dogs welcomed

Good value for Money and right on the seafront.

Breakfast catered well for gluten intolerance (Coeliac). The decor was a little dated but overall no complaints what-so-ever about this aspect of the hotel. There is a charge for car-parking but at £6 for 1 night who cares!
