Imperial has the cosiness and friendliness of small and the anonymity and grandeur of large, so it’s all you would want from a Victorian hotel in Blackpool. I’ve not been visited by any of the ghosts yet so after five years coming, that’s my only disappointment… Services are great here, all staff are really friendly in my experience, breakfast is great and there are lots of spaces to hang out in on the ground floor.

Its not bad, we had a bit of a mare checking in, they were clearly short of staff that day and we ended up being held up in the bar, although they gave us drinks vouchers, so I cannot fault the staff, it wasnt on them. The room was fine, bed was good, so no complaints. Cosmetically its showing its age a bit but it was good for the money.

I am biased re this hotel as I have stayed here a number of times because of its history etc. Staff and building plus facilities were as usual and the two women reception staff were professional. Car parking was expensive but balanced out the room rate that I was offerred. cheers

The Imperial Hotel is a beautiful building with plenty of character and charm from years gone by. However, it is now in need of some upgrades and refurbishment. Our room was a good size, but it felt quite tired and dated nice sea from our room,On the positive side, the breakfast was very good, and the bar was a lovely place to relax. With a little modernisation, this hotel could truly return to its former glory.
