Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Imperial Hotel enjoys a superb location, just a few meters from both the beach and The Waterways. Many guests appreciate the spacious, well-designed bedrooms and bathrooms that feature both a bath and rainfall shower. The Cafe Cru restaurant is often praised for its high-quality, delicious food, with the inclusive breakfast offering a decent range of choices. While some found the dessert, specifically the honey roast peaches, disappointing, many others consider the hotel excellent value for money, especially with the added bonus of free parking next to the building.
