Excellent hotel, wonderful stay

Really lovely stay at the Imperial Torquay. From the outside the hotel understandably looks a bit run down but as soon as you enter the lobby it’s clear that the building has been well looked after and maintained. It’s a beautiful hotel with all the amenities you could ask for… a well stocked bar, nice restaurant, a really good pool and health club and even a billiards room! We had booked a standard double but ended up with what I would refer to as a ‘suite’! Effectively 2 doubled rooms with an adjoining corridor on the 4th floor with wonderful views over the bay. Credit to the cleaning team!

This is a lovely hotel which is in need of a lot of love and attention. The outdoor swimming pool was out of action which we were unaware of until we checked in. Due to maintenance our balcony doors were locked. The outside of the windows throughout the property needed cleaning as did a lot of the stonework. All of the staff we encountered were lovely. The quality of the breakfasts were good apart from the inability of the chef to cook fried eggs properly (all over cooked). We would consider using this hotel again if the price was right.

Disappointed tbh . We paid for a sea view but got mugged off in a garden room , you had to stand up to see a partial sea view , the garden area is overgrown , if the bushes were cut back slightly then everyone in the garden rooms would have a sea view . The outside swimming pool lays derelict & abandoned & the indoor pool is the size of a small garden pond . The whole hotel is tired & needs a substantial refurbishment. The staff were all very nice & friendly. We would not book again or recommend , plenty of other places in Torquay to try.

We were extremely disappointed with our stay at The Imperial Hotel in Torquay. What was advertised on Expedia was completely different from what we experienced in reality – the photos and descriptions were very misleading, and we felt missold. After travelling nearly 5 hours from London, we had high expectations, but unfortunately everything fell short. The service was poor, the rooms were nothing like what was shown online, and the food was very disappointing. Overall, our stay was not what we expected and left us feeling frustrated and let down. This was meant to be a special trip, but instead it was a huge disappointment.
