Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Imperial Hotel is known for its spacious and well-designed bedrooms, some featuring lovely sea views from a little balcony. Guests often compliment the large, modern showers and find the bar area to be a pleasant space. While most find the food delicious, particularly at Cafe Cru restaurant, some guests have been disappointed with specific desserts like the honey roast peaches. Many appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as bottled water and fresh milk in the fridge, and enjoy the convenience of the free car park next to the hotel.
