Excellently situated on the sea front, just far enough away from the bright lights, the hotel was a beacon of light after a walk from the station through the bleak off-season town centre. Our stay was comfortable in all respects. The ambience was warm and friendly. The manager was in evidence at breakfast and in the restaurant where we enjoyed a very good meal and the staff at all times were welcoming and highly competent.

Grand old hotel, slightly dated but clean. Bedroom was hot, great stuff, it was a wet cold evening, so slept really well. Bathroom/ wet room was big, everything worked, nice fluffy towels. Breakfast was really great, the staff couldn’t do enough for us and on the menu was a lot of local ingredients. The meal was great. Relaxing views of the sea and the morning sky. Grand old hotel, fantastic stay.

I have been going regularly for the past 4 months in this hotel. I waited to have the full experience so I can note everything on it. The hotel is a super choice to be in for the comfort of the room and the team running it are above and beyond. They got everything you would wish to see from warmness of the welcome, attention to details, care for the individual to make sure that he is having everything you would want. The room temperature and the room are spacious and you would immediately feel very comfortable.

Wonderful hotel with great customer service at its core led by the very impressive,able Grant. All of the staff were immensely kind and sincere but special mention to Victoria at breakfast , lovely Tina who made me laugh, Danny who runs the Cru restaurant and the indomitable Gill who is a perfect front of house woman. Great location, clean rooms , lovely bedding and a terrace which many hotels in the South of France would die for. Many thanks. PQ

Yet another great mini break at the Imperial. We don’t live that far but love coming here for wonderful food, lovely staff, and very comfortable room. Great Yarmouth may not be the first choice for many, but this hotel makes it very worthwhile. Looking forward to our next break away.

Service and cleanliness is simply exceptional. Great food for breakfast and in the adjoining restaurant CRU. Rooms are the biggest but nice decor and everything you need. Bathroom very clean and refurbished. Staff polite, friendly and smart.

This hotel is a mix of traditional and modern. We had a seaview room which was spacious with a large walk in shower in the bathroom. We used the restaurant where the staff were very good. My wife has an allergy to onion. In this restaurant every thing is prepared in house. They cooked special onion free dishes for her. This is not he case in most hotels where she is left with about 20% of the menu to choose from. The location is directly opposite the beach. The staff were all helpful and friendly.
