Great location on the beachfront. Well maintained property with clean rooms and the extras you would expect - safety deposit box, ironing board etc. I wasn't particularly impressed with the in house toiletries which seemed cheap. Staff were all friendly and helpful and parking was easy and included in the booking price. Breakfast was fine but a little underwhelming. There was a good but not extensive range on offer. The breakfast room itself was pleasant and calm. All in all a good hotel. Would happily return.

Beautiful place in a lovely setting. Across the road from the beach. Staff could not do enough for us, very welcoming and polite. Breakfast was lovely and great choice. Restaurant food was lovely and staff very attentive to my other half’s food allergies and checked everything through with her and were more than willing to make any changes to her meal that was required.

We had a lovely stay at Hythe Imperial Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, and my room was spotless, comfortable and very well presented. What really made the experience though was the staff, such a friendly and welcoming team. The girls at check-in and at breakfast were especially lovely. Breakfast was really good, with plenty of choice and high quality food. It was also a real treat to be able to use the spa facilities and properly relax during our stay. The location is perfect as well – being right by the beach made it even more special. We would definitely return and highly recommend it!

The room was really lovely 4*. It was quiet, overlooked lovely gardens. Great size and nicely laid out. But coming into hotel reception was dark and smelt of stale beer....we actually thought of leaving. Staff not very friendly or welcoming, apart from one person in breakfast room who was very helpful...Leo. Food and breakfast were all good. We didn't use swimming pool as it didn't look great and had read several poor reviews. But location was brilliant. Short walk into a lovely high street and along the canal. So room 4* staff and reception area are just about 3* I was surprised how dark it is inside as it is right on sea front but there were no lounges, dining areas over looking the sea. Sea front and walks were stunning. Parking was great. Room was clean but not spotless. And we had a tricky encounter with staff when we asked for clean cups for our room! Overall quite a pleasant stay, positives just about out weighed the negatives
