Very good

Comfy Bed well presented rooms although furniture a little dated and well worn . Food was excellent good choice on menu in evening and beautifully cooked and presented. Waiting staff were efficient and friendly. Good breakfast choice range from full English continental or cereal and toast .
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
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!

Friendly staff couldn’t do enough for you, all areas were clean and pleasant. Breakfast was enjoyable and value for money. Evening meal again fresh and good value but a limited menu. Rooms are tired but beds are comfortable and again clean . Will stay again .

Mostly ok.
breakfast ok x toaster a bit temperamental. one toast not enough, two burnt it!!
one bed in twin room had a sort of dip in, maybe mattress needs flipping over.
Bed was too small. The bed position was not good for the television.
Shower was poor .
Staff were excellent. Convenient location and a wonderful view of the sea.
Safe car parking.
Although an older property and some would say tired …. It still has excellent views ( superior room/ sea views ) , remains clean and worth booking again !
Room 208 has a 4 poster bed very uncomfortable. Beautiful view with a balcony. Otherwise, room, very nice.

Great location but worst bed ever.
Excellent location virtually on dog friendly beach. Sea view room very strongly advised.
Our only but major complaint was the mattress which should have been replaced years ago. Both sides collapsed, one side so bad it needed a rolled towel placed under it to stop you rolling off the edge.
Visited for a short holiday and to visit family. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room was fine. We usually stayed in premier inn at Exmouth and tried this hotel for a change. Not much difference except we had a balcony, staff were nicer and more helpful and was cheaper to stay and park. Would definitely stay again. The hotel is pet friendly so there were some people staying with their dogs. We didn’t mind.
Lovely stay. We know Exmouth well and the location of the Imperial couldn't be better. Friendly staff, comfortable room, easy parking. Would definitely stay again next time we are that way.
Like most hotels at present there is a staffing shortage. The staff here were very friendly and helpful so couldn't fault them.
Both room and hotel were clean,though a coat of paint on the outside would not go a miss. The one comment i would make though, is that your rooms are only serviced 3 times per week.you still pay the full prices and for car parking .
We booked dinner on first night,not a very good choice on menu.we personally wouldn't book dinner again.
Breakfast was self service with a reasonable choice of food available.
Would we stay there again,probably because of location and friendliness of the staff
This is our third stay at the Imperial and it won't be our last! Very homely, friendly - nothing too much trouble. We always have a superior double with sea view - the views are fantastic. Situated on the esplanade opposite the sea, behind hotel is the park and access to the town or take a leisurely stroll along the esplanade towards the point! Lovely! The food is good here. Buffet breakfast - everything you could wish for. Evening meal is choice of 3 or 4 starters, mains and choice of three desserts. They also offer a lunch/bar daytime menu and I can thoroughly recommend the afternoon tea - delicious!! They also do cream teas.
