We reserved a Premium Double Room with a Queen Bed that shows on both Expedia and the Imperial websites. We did not receive that room. We received a Classic Room. We did not get what we paid for. We would never have booked the room had we known it was the room we would receive. Did I mention that our thermostat was broken, and we had to call down every time we needed the temperature changed? Also, they do not have a light over the mirror in the bathroom. I will never recommend The Imperial and will think twice before using Expedia for future reservations.

Location is excellent. The front staff are incredibly helpful and aware of what one might need. The hotel is lovely and well maintained. Housekeeping staff were also great. It is difficult to judge the restaurant as we had only one meal, but on the basis of that meal we decided not to have breakfast there, especially since the cost was the highest we say in 4 weeks in Ireland. On the basis on this three days stay we would certainly stay there again.
