We stayed at the Imperial for one night and had a fantastic experience. There is so much interesting history in the hotel, we loved seeing all the antique furniture and old architectural style. The entire hotel was very clean, there was lovely views out over the sea from the bar and breakfast area. We would definitely stay again.

The hotel has fantastic views over Torbay. We stayed in a standed side sea view room, which was quite nice but unfortunately the balcony door was locked so unable to use which was a shame. There was some noise from other guests at night which was sorted at by hotel staff.

The Imperial, Torquay exceeded my high expectations! You could feel the grandeur and romance as you look out to a magnificent view! I could imagine Agatha Christie's characters here! The magnificent Manager, Nigel, made sure that my stay was most memorable! It is clear that his Commitment to Excellence is present in the Customer Service provided by Kelly at the Desk and Michael in Dining! Wonderful Breakfast and ideal location too!

My recent stay at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay was exceptional from start to finish. The professionalism, kindness, and genuine warmth shown by every member of staff made the visit truly memorable. Kelly and Ndey on reception were outstanding — welcoming, attentive, and effortlessly helpful as always.Housekeeping were equally impressive, keeping everything spotless with a friendly smile. The bar staff added to the experience with their charm and excellent service. A special mention must go to the incredible,breathtaking views across the bay. I highly recommend the Imperial Hotel. It’s a place where you feel genuinely cared for, and where every detail is handled with warmth and professionalism.

Disappointed the outdoor pool was closed this was not made aware to us at the time of booking,sent 3 messages to the hotel via chat service never recieved a reply. On arrival I discussed this with the lady on reception who did not seem bothered just said it's on the website that the pool is closed, Nice oldy worldy hotel rooms nice size and comfortable. Understaffed at breakfast the poor lady greeting us was lovely but rushed off her feet. Not the top class hotel it used to be , we have stayed a couple of times there now .

A grand hotel with lovely views however whilst the public areas are rather splendid, some areas do look a little tired and in need of updating. This didn't detract from our stay though. Plentiful and varied breakfast and a great location
