Once upon a time this hotel would have been magnificent. The location is good and easy to find and there is parking (at a charge of £3.50) for residents. Upon arrival, and after a short wait at check in we were warmly greeted and welcomed to The Imperial. This hotel is charming and full of history, especially with regard to... More

Large cumbersome building which must take some maintaining. Rooms ok but nothing special. Restaurant not my idea of a good dining experience..food ok but going to a counter to serve ones own dessert?! Not my idea of dinner. However the bar is an experience to behold....a history lesson in politics the mirrors attributed to prime ministers in history and the... More

Firstly its a wonderful old grand hotel on the seafront, approx 1km from the tower, and has its own onsite parking (£3.50 a night). We stayed for 2 nights and being 2 adults and 2 children, we booked a family room and found it spacious, clean, warm and with a seaview. We paid for breakfast and I recommend you do... More

I stayed at the Imperial Hotel on business and had a very pleasant stay. My room was large and well-equipped, the food was very good and the staff excellent. I used the swimming-pool once during my stay and found it to be perfectly adequate, as was the bar and other facilities. Maintaining a hotel of such tremendous size can't be... More

I stay at the Imperial quite often and always enjoy my visits. One of the best things about the hotel is its friendly and efficient staff. The food is always good and excellent value as is everything else. The rooms are very comfortable and the one I had was exceptionally large with a magnificent view.

This is still a great hotel with so much charm and has a depth of history and location not many others can boast in Blackpool. I had a large standard room that faced onto the inner courtyard. The room was large as was the bathroom and both well appointed, no compleints there. Maid service each day. The leisure facilities were... More

This would have been a grand hotel in its heyday, standard rooms are completely adequate for their purpose, not ideal if you tend to spend a lot of time in the hotel as there didn't look much life about the place . The girl on reception was extremely friendly when checking in and made you feel like a welcome guest.... More

We had a fantastic one nights stay, only wished we could have stayed longer. You could not fault the hotel, staff, service, food or anything. Everything was faultless. Our room was large, comfortable, had everything we required. Location was perfect for walking into town, buses and the trams with the entertaining conductors. Car parking was worry free. We didnt use... More
