Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: bed was very comfortable and the room spacious. Cons: check in didn’t tell us about the complimentary coffee in the lobby and insisted we move the car right away to the remote car park. There were threadbare towels and the climate control was wonky. Should be much better for price point.

Audrina

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The building is old with sloping floors, but very cool with a great story and history, the staff was amazing, the cocktail bar with the live jazz band was stunning, the rooms were quaint, but in need of update, the location is great, you can walk everywhere to see shops, tourist stuff, amazing street art, etc. The parking building is a bit of a hike, but you can stop outside to drop off and pick up people and bags. There is a spa pool and sauna, but we were disappointed that it was closed for the weekend and because of the public holiday, as it is used as a selling point on the marketing of the hotel.

Rooms had air conditioning, and wash cloths. Bed was 7/10 a little hard. Parking was a bit away from the hotel and there were roads closed due to construction to get to the parking lot, so tricky to find the lot, but convenient once we did.Hotel overall was very nice and had a beautiful bar, restaurant and coffee shop.I would recommend.

The staff are very nice, friendly and well trained. The need to get a better system going with booking taxis though. It was confusing. Waiting outside, no one knew what taxi was for whom. I booked a taxi the day before and the taxi was late and it had to be re-ordered or contacted/reminded to pick me up. The hotel facilities were good and I would stay there again. I would recommend this hotel.

Great despite some construction

The Imperial was perfect for our stay, though my friend’s bedding had some stains on it and as the hotel was under construction it was a little rough round the edges but the staff were brilliant and we felt well taken care of.

Expected more. Disappointed that when room was turned down rubbish wasn’t removed, toilet rolls wernt replaced, iron was left out etc from this standard of hotel you would expect all of the above, dusty in areas, staff were slow but friendly. Bathroom needed some desperate tlc, shower leaking, difficult to use. Location is the only thing that would make us stay again.
