Was a lovely 2 nights stay..had a superior twin seaview room. Breakfast was lovely. Plenty choice..the hotel could do with a little updating inside and outside. Booked a superior but unsure what was superior about it..unsure what you got extra than a standard. But overall a pleasant stay.

A little ‘Faulty Towers,

Very Average hotel. Looked and felt a little ‘faulty towers’. Room was boiling hot with no air conditioning, the window also had a very short safety cord so only opened a few inches. Room was basic but not worth the money paid. Sea view room booked but was on a low level room with a tree in the way.

Home now after a very enjoyable weekend stay at The Imperial Hotel to celebrate a friend’s birthday and retirement. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and made us and our friends feel very welcome and not like we were ‘just another guest’. We ate in both the restaurant and bar area and the meals were a good size and tasty. Breakfast was plentiful with gluten free and milk alternatives available upon request. My husband and I will definitely be visiting this hotel again in the future.

Just an overnight stay before a party. Never stayed in Exmouth before, but have visited many times. The hotel is ideally placed with fabulous garden space. The beach is always a treat but a short walk from the entrance to the hotel, there’s a lovely town square/piazza surrounded by bars and eateries

Shocking. The room was not the one we booked. Stank of urine and when we raised the issues at reception we were told that the hotel was full and that it ' is what it is '. And as it was only a one night stay we should just tolerate it. After all, the guy at reception has been there 25 years and knows how to deal with issues. Righto.

Very enjoyable stay with beautiful views

Stayed a night with friends, great location over looking the seafront, beautiful parkland setting. The hotel itself is a little tired and would welcome a little tlc, however the staff were professional and welcoming, the hotel itself was clean and presentable, the breakfast was more than adequate, and the location was perfect

Lovely Hotel

Lovely hotel with fantastic views of exmouth seafront and the sea - we had a small balcony which was lovely. It is in an excellent location so you are central to the whole of Exmouth. Place needs a bit of an update, just a bit of TLC overall hence the 4 out of 5. I would definetly stay again 👍❤️

Friendly staff and good location with ample on-site parking (chargeable). The room was fine, but the hotel itself a little tired. The same applied to the restaurant, limited menu with very average food, but still pleasant staff. Dog Friendly a definte bonus
