The Island is lovely, the people are friendly and the views are fabulous. I would certainly stay again. However I have to note that there was no smoke alarm unit fitted in my room. A welcome package in the room would be helpful for a first time visitor.

Helpful, friendly staff. Well-run hotel. Sea views from room and restaurant were brilliant. That is what we went there for. Room and window cleaning were a bit less than we would have liked but no big problems. Breakfast was generally good but poached eggs were not quite cooked enough. Scrambled eggs were very good. Evening menu for half-board was good but if you were there more than 5 nights you might need to repeat. Car parking bays were a bit tight but we managed ok in April when some rooms were not occupied

Very relaxing end of season break. Location excellent with the bonus of superb view over the bay for all meals. Room spacious but suffered some noise pollution from kitchen fans on the Saturday night but this stopped once the kitchen closed. Also fire door in the corridor adjoining room occasionally slammed noisily due to ineffective door closer and careless guests. Staff very helpful and courteous. Overall very good 4 days.

Loved it, loved the sea views and the fact that the hotel is so close to the shore. The decor is undeniably dated but the bed was comfortable with white linen, fresh towels daily and a big shower with plentiful hot water. Our room on the second floor looked right across the bay and we could hear the sea at night. Great food, well cooked, excellent fish and very reasonable prices. You can't beat breakfast in the guest dining room that has a full view of the beach, ever changing as the tide ebbs and flows. Staff are all very jolly and helpful. Good value and worth the extra for a room with a view

The location of the hotel is ideal and I loved listening to the waves from the sea while in bed. The hotel was clean if a little dated and in some places in need of some TLC. The room was basic and if it hadn't been for the spectacular view I would have been disappointed with the facilities. On arrival we felt neglected, almost as if we were a nuisance, and we had to find things out for ourselves. It was completely different on our departure when they couldn't have been more helpful, interested and informative - what a shame we hadn't had a similar welcome to our stay.

The Imperial was perfectly located. Ideal for getting around this beautiful island either by car or bus which stops right outside. The views over the magnificent bay are amazing. The rooms were clean, although in the heat of the summer were very hot. No air conditioning or fans. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice however fresh fruit was not available which was a small disappointment. We stayed in for evening dinner one night - very enjoyable, cooked fresh, plenty of choice and sat in the restaurant overlooking the beautiful bay. Overall, this was a great introduction to Guernsey and we would recommend the Imperial to others.

I had a nice stay at the Imperial Hotel, the employeers are very helpful and charming, apart from the romanian baar keeper. The view is breathtaking and food is very good. Wifi worked well in room no. 5. and it's small for two people.but there was mold in the bathroom. The manager is going to repair it. The house is clean and comfortable, but should get renovated. You get fresh towels every day and plenty. The price is fair, I would come back again.

Hotel très agréable, bien situé. Personnel accueillant. Confort, propreté. Le seul reproche est la salle de petit déjeuner qui est un peu "enterrée". Mais sans doute est il possible de prendre le petit déjeuner en terrasse en été.

If ever you're searching for an enchanting and timeless piece of the past and present, which is completely - "unpretentious" (Adjective) defined as: "Not attempting to impress others with an appearance of greater importance, talent, or culture than is actually possessed.(of a place) Pleasantly simple and functional; modest);" then this locale is one worth considering. Perhaps a like little lost slice of paradise, time gone by... West Side's Big Easy. The staff was exceptionally attentive and personable.

The location is gorgeous. We booked half-board, and the food is incredible. The hotel clearly prides itself on its service. The hotel is three busstops from the airport and six or seven stops from St. Peter port. We would return in an instant. The staff is great.

Hotel was in a perfect location for us as we were attending a wedding just 2 minutes along the road. Rooms rather basic but that never bothered us as we were never there. The shower in room 6b needs looking at as it was only running at a trickle. Also during breakfast substitutes werent allowed, for example my partner doesnt like toms or mushrooms but when he asked for extra sausage/bacon they wouldn't allow it.

The location is just perfect, the dinig room with a breath taking view on the bay. We enjoyed the half board very much, the chef is very good and the portions more than large. Everybody working there was very friendly and helpful. The WiFi worked well in the lobby, but not in our room. However, the lobby was cosy with leather sofas and big windows towards the bay, so I did not mind going there to check my emails.

The very friendly staff at the Hotel made our stay a pleasure. It is in an excellent position, both for views and access to local attractions. There is a regular bus service to St Peter Port and the Airport, together with a service round the coast. There is an excellent variety of good food on the menu, which was nicely presented. We had a small comfortable room, which had good storage facilities and view over Portelet Harbour. The Residents Lounge made a friendly meeting place. It would have been nice to have had some fruit available at breakfast (I dare say that if we had asked it would have been provided). The Breafast was otherwise very comprehensive, and the Full English Breakfast and toast was freshly cooked to order! We look forward to our next visit, and we have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to our friends.

This was my third stay at this hotel. It has been refurbished since my last visit in 2007, but the stunning seaviews remain the same! As a 2* hotel it can't be bettered. Not a place for a luxury break, but it is clean, comfortable and produces great food. Run by a lovely Irish couple who work hard to please their customers. Ideal for a relaxing holiday away from the strains and pressures of daily life.

The Imperial was absolutely perfect for my trip to Guernsey this Easter bank holiday weekend (2013). Very friendly staff and lovely hotel. I asked for a sea view room and it was only £5 per person per night in addition to the original cost, which was fantastic. The room was lovely and there was an extra heater in the cupboard which was very thoughtful, as it was a particularly cold weekend. Breakfast was great.....cold and hot options and great service. I also had an excellent Irish coffee from the bar, one of the best I've had! I hope to stay there again this Summer.

Had a really lovely time- couldn't fault anything. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and clean with a great sea view. I can't remember having a better vegetarian breakfast and hubby enjoyed his bacon sandwiches as well. The bar/restaurant meals were delicious and were great value for money with plenty of choice. We took advantage of the free bus ticket provided by the hotel- bus stop was right outside the hotel and we saw plenty of the island. Added to that it was only a few minutes bus ride from the airport.

My wife and I had a really enjoyable short break at the Imperial. The hotel location was ideal from our point of view - just about as far as you can get from St Peter Port. The bus stop was just across the road which meant for a pound each we could travel all over the island. Actually our travel was free because the hotel gave us a travel card with 18 journeys already prepaid. They also said that if it ran out, buy another £25 credit and they would refund us. Our room (No. 4) was right at the front of the hotel overlooking Roquaine Bay and had been recently completely renovated as had the bathroom. It had a walk in shower with plenty of room to swing the proverbial cat. There was no bath but that didn't cause us any problems. One big difference from most of the chain hotels - we got clean towels every day. Breakfast was always freshly cooked and offered a wide range. We had a half-board deal and the evening meals were excellent. Service was superb and left us with the feeling that all the staff had been well trained in the art of restaurant service. If you are looking for a quiet time with excellent opportunities for walking, this is the hotel for you. Although nothing to do with the hotel, be aware that taxi companies aren't too happy coming out from town as it means an unpaid journey of around 8 miles for them. We needed a taxi to get us to the airport on Sunday morning as the buses don't start until later. The hotel advised us to book one at least a week in advance (we did) but it was clear the driver wasn't too happy!
