Excellent hotel, wonderful stay
Really lovely stay at the Imperial Torquay. From the outside the hotel understandably looks a bit run down but as soon as you enter the lobby it’s clear that the building has been well looked after and maintained. It’s a beautiful hotel with all the amenities you could ask for… a well stocked bar, nice restaurant, a really good pool and health club and even a billiards room!
We had booked a standard double but ended up with what I would refer to as a ‘suite’! Effectively 2 doubled rooms with an adjoining corridor on the 4th floor with wonderful views over the bay.
Credit to the cleaning team!

Summer break
We had a very comfortable stay at the hotel and were impressed with the facilities and friendly staff. We returned for the 2nd time having also enjoyed our first stay. Love the views of Torbay and the internal architecture and furnishings of the hotel. It was a shame that the outdoor pool was closed but enjoyed the indoor pool / spa facilities.

Not as good as we were expecting
Reminds me of a fading Hollywood star who's still trying to live up to their image from decades ago.
The original parts of the building are looking tatty and the 60s outside looks worse.
VERY noisy plant room just below our room.
Staff are great and the views amazing, but these don't make up for the rest of the experience.
3 star hotel now at best not 4 and it must be so far below it's 5 star hayday.

A July Stay
Breakfast was excellent. Bar meal was good but not great selection. Main Restaurant was too expensive. The room was great, very comfortable. the Seaview was obscured bey vegetation, but after some discussion, the gardener cut the offending vegetation back which mad the view perfect.
