Great location
Only spent one night here but found the room clean and comfortable. We were lucky to arrive in time for a beautiful sunset and walk along the seafront. (Can highly recommend Heydays for dinner)

Great location. We had a lovely sea view room which was very comfortable. Bit of an issue with the TV but staff very helpful and swapped the TV. Very good value. We would definitely stay again.

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!

It was perfect for our stay with our dog. The room having direct access into the gardens was ideal. We will definitely book here again when we visit next time.

Imperial Exmouth
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.

A let down this time
Have stopped at the imperial 5 times in last 2 and half years and always found it great value for money, not this time dogs rates have gone up from £10 a dog per night to £20 cleaning has been scaled down use to make rooms up every day now every other day rooms weren't even hoovered properly and by looks of sheets they were never changed in the week we were there.
On a plus side the staff are friendly and very helpful.
The place does need a bit of modernisation

Lovely stay
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.

Charming and welcoming
Yet another lovely stay at the Imperial Hotel. Such a charming, homely place. Yes it does need a bit of TLC in places but the staff and welcome of this hotel more than makes up for that. Everything was very clean and our room which was one of their superior doubles with sea view which had amazing views of the estuary, sea front and the gardens. It was lovely to see the squirrels scampering around! We stayed dinner, bed and breakfast which we thought was really good value. The breakfast had plenty of choice and was nice and hot, the evening meals were superb - such a choice and all different each day. There is also bar meals available all day if you wish. It's a dog friendly hotel but they have a separate dining room for dogs and owners. The hotel location is really good and there is a bus stop just at the front. The beach, the promenade are just at the front of the hotel and the park at the rear. Town is just across the park - lots of cafes in the square to watch the world go by!

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.
