The imperial hotel is not to bad. There was only one receptionist with a huge que and the corridors to get there weren't great it was squeaky and to be honest I was to fall but the actual room was great it was renovated but were cracks in the wall but it weren't to bad probably won't go to the same hotel but did this hotel did indeed need to know the prices we had to pay £10 pounds for parking even though it said it was included. Personally I wouldn't go back but it weren't to bad read more

I stayed at the Imperial Hotel while attending the March 2013 George Formby Society convention. My initial room (see below for what I mean by "initial") was not a large one, but then, I never expected it to be. It was the size I anticipate when visiting UK seaside resorts, particularly those in beautiful old hotels. (And it WAS a beautiful hotel, both in its exterior and public spaces.) All room fixtures were modernized, though, so the room itself didn't feel old. I found it a welcoming place to be. The staff was always helpful whenever I asked anything of them -- snapping photos of us, printing out documents, checking bags, phoning local businesses -- and seemed empowered to find solutions when a problem cropped up. For example -- I realized during my first night there that the radiator couldn't be gotten to work in my room, and when it couldn't be fixed on the spot and a space heater couldn't be found, the staff member who was dealing with me immediately upgraded me to a much better room where where the heat functioned. I was pleased to see she'd been given permission to take that initiative. As for the food ... Breakfast was included with my room rate, and the huge buffet featured all the hot and cold standards you could want, including the UK baked beans, mushrooms, and fried bread that puzzles a Yank like me. I can't speak to the quality of every item, since I'm basically a yogurt and granola guy when it comes to breakfast, maybe a bagel or croissant, too, but those were fine, and from the way others wolfed down sausages, eggs, etc., it didn't seem as if anyone had any complaints. I also had dinner one night with friends in the bar. I ordered a club sandwich, which had a sliced hard-boiled egg in it, something I've never seen in a club sandwich before. I enjoyed it in that "hmmm, this is interesting" kind of way that occurs when something familiar has been tweaked. All quality ingredients, though. And another thing about the bar -- the staff was always friendly as we hung out there was late into the night. Overall, the Imperial Hotel was a pleasant place to stay, and I look forward to my return. read more

The Imperial Hotel - Imperial Hotel. - Hotels Near Me - Blackpool, LAN

I booked a romantic weekend package and was disappointed with the stay. I did try to address a couple of issues with the hotel but they didn't seem interested as it was the conservative party conference the following week and I think we were more of an inconvenience. The food was good but the service was a bit iffy with one waiter shouting at another and one time another waiter was clearing a table and drank the dregs of the coffee before taking the cups away. It may be worth trying the hotel again but not near a big conference as they might not be as distracted. Other reviews seem good and my week might just have been a bad week. read more

Make over needed! I stayed in this hotel in July the building is massive its about the only thing that is nice. Its part of a group of hotels/chain but from their standards are way below the rest of the others. They do not compare at all to their standards. The decor really needs work and to shine it looked so tired, tape on the floor carpets. The bathroom tap nearly came off, and I had a bad smell when I first walked in. The room was good enough and the box of fudge in the room was lovely. The room bed was comfortable and breakfast was good. I had issues with opening the door and after attempting many times my room key fail which meant I had to spend a lot of time at reception for them to sort it out. It was annoying as I had to be at a party nearby which made me late. The service overall was good and friendly. Make over needed which would help the overall experience. Not somewhere I would stay again if I was in this area. read more

Lovely Hotel, we stayed for our 10th Wedding anniversary through a cheap deal with laterooms. It's very expensive to eat and drink there so we went to the Litten Tree instead. I must admit, I did feel a little out of place staying there as there were a lot of business men and older couples. We really couldn't fault the room, plenty of space and very clean. Plenty of car parking. It can be very windy as it is so close to the sea, it's a fair walk to town along the prom but taxi's and trams to town, south shore or up to fleetwood are easy. read more

My daughter had her wedding reception at the Imperial and we could not fault it. Everything was perfect. The staff could not have been more helpful even though it was their busiest night of the year (Saturday before Christmas) and some of our requests were a little unusual! The food and accommodation were faultless. read more

The cleanliness of the rooms was as impressive as the rooms themselves. I have stayed in many hotels worldwide and no matter how nice or how many stars they carried you could always tell that it had been stayed and slept in by many before you whereas with the Imperial you could honestly believe you are the first to stay in the room. Nice hotel with a good central location read more

On arriving at the Hotel we were impressed with the outside of the building, we parked very easily, checked in with ease and had the low floor requested, the room was large and very comfortable, the bed was massive and extremley comfortable,we had fantastic nights sleep, the breakfast was delicious, plenty of choice, the staff were very accomodating, the bar was quite pricy. We ate in the dining room one evening, the food was tasty and enough of it. We used the spa which was good, pool was nice, jacuzzi was like a hot bath, only thing was the sauna's were in the changing rooms so if you wanted to go in with your partner you couldnt, there is a steam room which was availaibe to use by all. Only one disapointing thing there was a charge for the car park, £3.50 per day, we thought this was out of order, we were under the impression that it was free. read more

I am the first to admit that when I visit Blackpool it is more about the place itself than the accommodation and therefore I usually just opt for a very inexpensive B&B but I do on occasions like to treat myself to a luxury break in a hotel and have stayed in the Big Blue hotel that overlooks the Pleasure beach (already reviewed) and also in the Imperial Hotel which is what I am going to tell you a bit about here. I stayed in the Imperial in late 2004 so I do apologise if there have been changes that I fail to mention in this review but I am assured after talking to friends who I recommended the hotel to and are recently back from their stay that it is every bit as good now as I told them it was then. The Imperial hotel is noted as being Blackpool`s most famous and impressive hotel and at first sight you will appreciate why it is rated impressive. Situated on the North Promenade this stunning Victorian hotel which was built in the 1800`s and has since been fully restored sticks out like a sore thumb in it`s somewhat typical English sea side surroundings, it brings a touch of real class to Blackpool and is as beautiful if not more so inside than it is out. When I visited the hotel as a guest I had already seen it many times in passing and admired its beautiful exterior but here I was booking in and looking forward to all it had to offer which is plenty. Inside this beautiful hotel you are presented with a stunning hallway and reception area where we were handed our key to our room, we were splashing out and really treating ourselves by staying in a suite for the four nights but there are plenty rooms to choose from. The suite we were staying in was breathtaking, on entering the room I just looked at my fiancée who was staring open mouthed at the room before her and we knew we were somewhere higher class than anywhere we had stayed before. The suite was massive and beautifully furnished with old fashioned burgundy leather seats and a beautiful burgundy leather sofa, there was a built in fireplace set in white stone with a gorgeous and very elegant brass framed mirror over it. The massive windows overlooked the Irish Sea and as the illuminations were on, the view at night was awesome. The bathroom and bedroom of the suite were equally as impressive as the main living quarter's with a king size four poster bed in the bedroom and the exceptionally beautiful bathroom suite. The cleanliness of the rooms was as impressive as the rooms themselves. I have stayed in many hotels worldwide and no matter how nice or how many stars they carried you could always tell that it had been stayed and slept in by many before you whereas with the Imperial you could honestly believe you are the first to stay in the room. On leaving our room and checking out what else the hotel had to offer things just got better and better. Inside the beautiful hotel there is stunning eating and drinking areas all of which are fully climate controlled, there is a fitness suite packed out with treadmills and various other exercise equipment, a 13m swimming pool for those early morning dips, a sauna with separate sections for man and women, a beauty suite to keep the ladies happy, a steam room which I personally loved and a solarium for topping up the old tans because let's face it you are not going to go home from Blackpool all bronzed otherwise. The hotel really did have everything you could wish for and was almost good enough just to keep us indoors for our entire four days and nights but being a huge Blackpool enthusiast I just had to venture out lol! Once we had arrived at the hotel and parked the car in the hotels car park which incidentally is plenty big enough to accommodate the needs of all the guests we decided as we usually do that we would not use the car again for the duration of our stay. The Blackpool transport system is easily good enough to make this possible and with a tram stop right outside the front of our hotel I could travel the way I most enjoy on visits here. I am fairly sure no matter what you expect from your stay in a hotel the Imperial in Blackpool will eclipse your expectations, it certainly did mine. It is not just the hotel itself that makes the stay so good it is the staff also. I have never met such a friendly bunch of people (ok they are probably well paid to be that way but they do, do it well). The service is second to none also with the option there for you to have your curtains drawn and your bed turned down for you every evening, a selection of toiletries at your disposal and replaced each morning, doors held open for you at every entrance and a person of high authority available at all hours of the day or night I doubt there is anything you could ask for that is not already taken care of. The manner in which we were treated and spoken to throughout or stay in the Imperial left us feeling very important and extremely impressed with the whole experience. I have since recommended the hotel to a few friends who read more

I was not able to leave half star so one star will have to do. Upon walking in I wished it wasn't midnight because I immediately wanted to leave!! Construction in the front made it hard to come in with four suitcases. The decor was old and there was a computer typed paper sign on the elevator that the elevator was broken! The service elevator was working and went to the fourth floor; luckily we had a room on the third floor. Upon walking into the room the pictures on the website were a great misrepresentation! The floor in the room was slanted, the bathroom was outdated with broken tiles, the lamp shades had burn marks, the window sill in the room had an over whelming amount of black mold, there was an awful smell within the room as well as the elevator; overall the whole place had an unkept appearance! In the morning when we were leaving the elevator had empty wine bottles and smelled of urine!! We stayed a total of five hours, enough to sleep. Great disappointment!!!! read more
