Very spacious room, very clean, just a bit dated. Shame the car parking was chargable, but room rate reasonable so not too much of an issue overall.

3 night stay March 17th -20th 2025

I booked a Superior Twin room with a sea view but I wasn’t impressed with the room one bit. I’m not sure what was superior about it. I have previously stayed in a superior double here before and it was noticeable superior so I can only assume I was given a standard room. The doors to the rooms are a bit clunky and I could hear other doors closing, and I could also hear dogs barking in nearby rooms - and I can’t believe the hotel would allow dogs in a Superior Room. In fact there seemed to be several dogs in the hotel including a couple of large mountain dogs, and there were two dog water bowls in the bar area - which I found totally unacceptable. Breakfast was okay but I’ve previously stayed in 4 other hotels in Exmouth which all served a nicer, and freshly cooked breakfast, so by contrast the Imperial Hotel breakfast is bottom of the list. The hotel bar didn’t seem to have any decent ales on offer so I didn’t use it. The garden and sea views are nice, and the car park is a plus, but parking is £6 per night. The assessable lift was out of order for the duration of our visit.

Overall a good property just a little tired but only needs a bit of updating . Such as a new and more modern mirror in the bathroom of our room. And the veranda in that room needs tiling.

Excellent value stay. However the room decor was very tired and in much need of a refurb. TV very small, but the shower and bed although basic, were very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good value too. On-site parking was convenient, with plenty of space. Location was brilliant, with the sea front only approx. 100m away and the town only approx. 200m - so perfect.

Perfect area on sea front. This hotel was possibly a very grand place to stay in the past but it needs a lot of upgrading works. Poor decor. We didn't use the dining room but it didn't appear very welcoming.
