What guests think
At OYO Imperial Hotel, guests consistently note ongoing renovations with scaffolding and some tired public areas, while many rooms appear recently updated, clean, and comfortable, and staff are widely described as friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is generally well liked, with cooked-to-order options and an early start, though some guests experienced delays, occasional mix-ups, and a basic setup. Facilities can feel limited, with small on-site parking and patchy Wi-Fi at the far ends, and a few reports of cigarette smells. Overall, expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay.

The hotel is dated and needs an update. It’s cheap for that reason - covered parking right next door is the reason we stayed.

I wasnt advised until after I booked that there were ongoing renovations. Front of hotel covered in netted scaffold and strong smell of paint everywhere. No bar or restaurant and cramped improvised breakfast room. Only instant coffee sticks. Bed was directly facing room door and against wall. not ideal.

Staff were very helpful, and a good english breakfast is available along with cereals and such. Far ends of the hotel are WiFi blackspots - so if this is important, try and get closer to the centre. There's a lot of renovation going on at the moment - so sections are closed/not available. Free parking is available, but very limited. There is a large P&D carpark opposite

Hotel has obviously come a long way, rooms and reception looks great, hallways and bar need a recarpet which is coming and scaffolding on front will come down. Will be a great hotel as soon as it's finished, great staff, really helpful. Car park is small but there's free parking opposite overnight and you can move your car in the morning it's fine. Would recommend

Was the more reasonable option when booked, however received a message to say hotel was being refurbished. On arrival it was covered in scaffolding and smelled of paint. Restaurant and bar were closed as a result. We were allocated a refurbished twin room which was clean any comfy enough although the room was really hot. Breakfast was in an old conference room and was either continental or full English. Both fine, no complaints. Hopefully the refurbishments won't take much longer as it has the makings of a decent hotel.

On night stay for a football game. Hotel is undergoing refurbishment and so the front is covered in scaffolding and the halls and stairways are certainly more than a little tired That said the staff were exceptionally friendly, the room itself was clean and comfortable, the Wi-Fi was strong, the shower was hot and the breakfast was very good. I would definitely stay here again

Bedroom was spotlessly clean and bright with new fittings and very efficient shower. Corridor on second floor also very clean with new carpet. Breakfast offered a good selection on self-service and hot food to order. Reception very clean and efficient with lift to the second level. Still some modernisation work going on including a new carpet required for the stairs.

Arrived late evening and was met by a very friendly receptionist, who sorted out everything very quickly. The property is being upgraded and therefore has building going on, how's the room was of a really good standard and very clean. I was very impressed. The breakfast was good and had a good choice. Will use again and definitely recommend it.

The room itself was fine. The hotel in general was like something from The League of Gentleman. We were short a cup in the room so went to reception around 11pm where there was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke. The carpets in the corridors are stairways are quite stained/dirty. At breakfast (strong smell of cigarettes in reception again) it became apparent that people had been waiting for food for quite some time, one person sent their food back before it was cold. There was a chef looking chap in a flap and the poor lady waiting on was clearly distressed at the situation. There seemed to be a lack of experienced management presence at the hotel and whatever had happened was being particularly poorly handled. No issues with the room, but the overall experience was a calamity.

Booked a family room for a one night stay.... Hotel itself a very nice building, very friendly staff.... The room as soon as we opened the door we were taken a back by the smell of cigarettes... (Corridors and other rooms within the hotel did not smell of this.) reported to reception staff who only apologised and assured us that she witnesses people going out for cigarettes ( not that made any difference) we decided to not take it any further and instead open all of the windows.... Freezing cold night in January would get rid of the smell you would think. However it did not. Couldn't wait to leave the next morning. Very disappointing for a family room with younger children staying. 4 drinks ordered from the bar all with flat mixers, no draft on at all .... A case of drink it or don't attitude from the night porter.

Hotel is undergoing refurbishment and so the front is covered in scaffolding and the halls and stairways are certainly more than a little tired That said the staff were exceptionally friendly, the room itself was clean and comfortable, the Wi-Fi was strong, the shower was hot and the breakfast was very good. I would definitely stay here again

Dining
Breakfast is often praised for being cooked to order with a decent selection and early start. Some experienced delays, occasional mistakes, instant coffee, and a basic temporary setup.

I wasnt advised until after I booked that there were ongoing renovations. Front of hotel covered in netted scaffold and strong smell of paint everywhere. No bar or restaurant and cramped improvised breakfast room. Only instant coffee sticks. Bed was directly facing room door and against wall. not ideal.

Bedroom was spotlessly clean and bright with new fittings and very efficient shower. Corridor on second floor also very clean with new carpet. Breakfast offered a good selection on self-service and hot food to order. Reception very clean and efficient with lift to the second level. Still some modernisation work going on including a new carpet required for the stairs.

Staff were very helpful, and a good english breakfast is available along with cereals and such. Far ends of the hotel are WiFi blackspots - so if this is important, try and get closer to the centre. There's a lot of renovation going on at the moment - so sections are closed/not available. Free parking is available, but very limited. There is a large P&D carpark opposite

The hot is having improvement works being done. The rooms are well presented and have everything needed. The bed was okay, I didn't particularly find the bed comfortable but could have been me. Breakfast the first day was fine though they did get my breakfast wrong, a couple of others were similar, the second day was fine. You can still see the areas still to be updated but does look like well on the way. The staff were friendly and helpful.

It met our requirements; staff very friendly and responsive (receptionist Molly even working gamely through feeling plainly unwell); obviously refurbishment isn't complete yet but that did not impact our stay. Breakfast better than expected - hot food good and plentiful, continental offerings fine if arranged in quite a basic way, but no complaints!

The room itself was fine. The hotel in general was like something from The League of Gentleman. We were short a cup in the room so went to reception around 11pm where there was a very strong smell of cigarette smoke. The carpets in the corridors are stairways are quite stained/dirty. At breakfast (strong smell of cigarettes in reception again) it became apparent that people had been waiting for food for quite some time, one person sent their food back before it was cold. There was a chef looking chap in a flap and the poor lady waiting on was clearly distressed at the situation. There seemed to be a lack of experienced management presence at the hotel and whatever had happened was being particularly poorly handled. No issues with the room, but the overall experience was a calamity.

The room was clean and looked as if it had been recently renovated, comfy bed. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and very nice. Staff are friendly and very attentive. The hotel is currently undergoing much needed external renovation works. The stair carpet badly needs renewed.

I was here for business and this hotel was perfect, lovely clean room and breakfast included (which was great!) Only recommendation is to bring earplugs, seagulls can be noisy through the night in summertime

The free parking outside (not in the taxi rank) was great, especially for a town centre. Receptionist was super helpful pointing this out to us when we arrived, as the attached car park was full. Hotel currently undergoing renovations but they did point this out everywhere and was also aware from the reviews too and room was pretty warm on the evening, although they did provide a fan this was the only reason for not giving 5 stars. Free breakfast was good (despite the not-so-great reviews of it) staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating, could help yourself to toast/bread, pastries, cereal, apple/orange juice, yoghurts, apples/oranges and then order a hot dish from the main menu, we got a vegetarian breakfast which I chose scrambled egg, my partner poached and we got a hash brown, half a mushroom, tomato and vegan sausage. To say the breakfast was free and the double room was £60 on a last minute Saturday night booking, including parking and breakfast for 2 I couldn't complain at all. Good value for money, decent selection, lift in the hotel too which wasn't expecting. I do understand peoples comments on the communal areas, the breakfast area could be improved with some small improvements such as investing in proper tables/units to lay the buffet out on but also would the added cost for the hotel outweigh the added nicety to a customer experience, i am unsure
