I am writing to complain about my stay at the Hythe Imperial Hotel on Saturday 14 February. The experience was extremely disappointing, particularly as we had previously stayed without issue. We checked in around 4:30–5:00pm (check-in from 3pm) and were allocated an ADA/wheelchair accessible room, which we did not book. Reception told us it was “luck of the draw” and nothing could be done due to late check-in, despite other guests being allocated classic rooms after us. We were also informed no refund would be issued if we chose to leave, which left us feeling pressured to stay. No attempt was made to resolve the situation or offer any goodwill gesture. When we asked if anything could be done, we were told they “can’t hand out free stuff left right and centre,” which felt dismissive. Not even a offer or a late check out or free breakfast (not that it would have been accepted but the offer wasn’t there to be declined) The leisure facilities were run down and poorly maintained, with flaking paint, a very small sauna fit for only 2, and a hot tub that switched off every two minutes fit for only 5 max, We cancelled dinner after overhearing multiple complaints at reception, which on Valentine’s Day made finding alternatives difficult. Overall the service, communication and facilities were unacceptable. Had we been informed about the room in advance we would have cancelled. Please investigate and consider a correct response to why your facility and staff are of this manor.

Terrible check in. Cards charged then recharged and refunded then room key held hostage as the same card as full payment declined the £50 hold then had to redo everything again. Had an important VC at 16:00 which got missed jeopardising a deal. Customer service terrible in main reception. Everywhere else ok. Charged double for 1 hour late check out then refunded when I asked for the receipt and correctly charged in end. They mistrust guests but they themselves seem to lack trustworthiness… Spa area is good but seems upkeep and cleanliness not great. All in all an excellent expensive 2 nights I wouldn’t even value as worth even half the amount unfortunately… has potential to improve and hope it does but I would find it hard to recommend for now.

Check in was good and pleased with the room. What needs to improve is the breakfast and staff. Welcome staff hiding round the corner on phone. After asking did not tell us how breakfast worked. Several staff not doing alot, even when the coffee machine broke and would not manually make tea coffee! Had to wait over 10 to 15 mins. Breakfast really let the place down especially when everything else was excellent.

It was not good value for money compared with other hotels I have stayed in. Maintenance could be better. Air conditioning had to be switched off at night because it was so noisy. Neither lights worked on bathroom mirror or magnifying mirror. No shampoo or conditioner supplied. Coffee at breakfast came out of a machine.

Our room 415 needed updating. Carpet frayed furniture old. The staff were courteous. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the festive season. We paid an additional £300 for New Years Eve gala. The main course beef wellington was inedible and despite informing the waiter and being served with new portion each, this was also inedible. Spoke to the on duty manager but no good will gesture. Just told to email in. Eventually received a response and £30 refund to share between my husband and I. Our preference would be to enjoy an edible meal at the time. Otherwise we had an enjoyable 3 days.
