The Imperial Torquay

Séjour très agréable. Hôtel avec le charme désuet d'un ancien très grand hotel mais qui garde un très bon standing. Seul le sourire du personnel manquait.

Ensemble décevant au regard du prix très élevé. Certes, l’hôtel a une jolie histoire et a connu un bel âge d’or, mais il est vieillissant. La vue de la chambre comme du restaurant étaient splendides, et le petit déjeuner offrait un choix très varié. En revanche, la chambre était très vieillotte, la porte fermait mal, la fenêtre calfeutrée au scotch… Et la propreté très moyenne: poil dans la douche, dessous du lit pas nettoyé, moquette pas aspirée, couverts pas nickels, projections de peinture sur les murs, paquet de gâteaux entamé… Le repas du réveillon, malgré le prix, n’était pas d’une grande qualité non plus, et les serveurs du petit déjeuner peu souriants. Bref, nous avons été très déçus pour le prix que nous avons payé.

We had a sea view room. Nice big walk in wardrobe . The bathroom was good although the shower was Luke warm. Big bed and nice to have extra seating looking out over the balcony for two people as well as a chair at the dressing table. A small table on the balcony would be beneficial but may not have been there as we visited in April and was lucky with the weather to be sunny enough to sit on the balcony. Staff all friendly, very efficient in the restaurant and for breakfast. The decor of the room and hotel is a bit outdated but this was what we expected from a hotel of this size and age. We enjoyed our stay and would visit again.

Bit of a mix up.at checkin as I was sure my booking included breakfast but I was told it didn’t as I'd upgraded to a seaview.. I'd booked in a hurry so we didn't query. We did get a discount by ordering and paying there and then, but it was an expense I hadn't budgeted for It was a lovely room in the gardrn area with outside furniture and a great view. Breakfast is buffet and plenty of choice, although the blackpudding was overcooked. Dissappointed to see young children being a nuisance at the table next to us. I wonder if maybe a polite notice asking guests to not let children run around and banging on the table. Also advise adults not to take phone calls at the table. Its just rude.

Stayed in a lovely sea view room with a balcony. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was massive and comfy. You could see the sea from balcony but was blocked abit by trees. Swimming pool and sauna was nice. Sadly the hot tub wasn't working during my stay. Breakfast was lovely and had lots of offer. Would stay again.
