The Positives: I was really pleased to be allowed an early check-in, which made a big difference to my day. The staff at reception and housekeeping were all very friendly and welcoming, which helped create a positive atmosphere. The lobby area was lovely and relaxing, perfect for sitting with a coffee or just unwinding. I especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area overlooking the beach – a peaceful spot that really stood out. The breakfast room had a beautiful old-school charm that added character to the morning experience. Check-in and check-out were quick and hassle-free, which I really appreciated. The hotel also offers baggage storage after check-out, which was incredibly useful since my train wasn’t until the evening. Room for Improvement: Sadly, the rooms are quite dated and in need of refurbishment. I noticed thick dust on the lighting fixtures, which wasn’t ideal, particularly as I have dust allergies. The biggest issue for me was the temperature in the room. There’s no air conditioning, and no fan provided, so the room was unbearably hot, even with the window open. I barely slept, which really impacted my stay. On top of that, I felt itchy in bed, possibly due to the mattress or mattress topper. During breakfast, I was told to wait before helping myself, but after about 10 minutes I saw others going up, so I followed. It felt a bit disorganised and slightly awkward. One plug socket in room faulty. Cutlery dirty.
Faulty socket. Plug doesn't go fully in.

Room was dirty and very tired, and we had paid a premium for a sea view room!! waited 45 mins for tea and coffee at breakfast whilst other tables were being served. Janet is brilliant and a few others friendly but not all, TV did not work.. No signal so presume it was aerial output. (not there to watch TV but when relaxing between events, be nice to have it for the news etc) Reception staff very good however. Won't be back unfortunately... 😒

One of the best / if not the best hotel in Blackpool. Hotel is still quite imposing and has a fantastic position on the sea front. Despite its character and Victorian charm, it is a little tired in places, but the price was amazing and no complaints. Room great, staff lovely and a good breakfast. Great value for money overall. Blackpool looks very sorry for itself these days, but the Imperial still doing well and just being there was one of the only things that made the visit enjoyable. Would recommend this hotel and would def stay here again.
