Staff excellent

5.0 / 10.0

I really like this hotel, and would suggest it to anyone visiting from overseas as a good example of how things used to be done. The building is older and has all the quirkiness that comes with that. The room I had was reasonably spacious and well appointed, very clean, nothing to really pick fault with. The common areas downstairs are traditionally decorated, well maintained, and display the history of the location well. They are warm and inviting. The real thing about this hotel is that the service element is still there, from reception, to the bar and into the restaurant. Staff are plentiful and attentive, and it all adds up to a very civilised experience. I ate in the restaurant and the food was good, with a decent wine list. The room price is reasonable and the restaurant price is possibly at the high end, but the quality is there and the service and overall vibe made it worthwhile for me. It's all a little posh, but in no way stuck up.

The food was expensive for what it was my husband had a burger & fries which was £24 & £3 for a shaving of cheese. I had Salmon £24 but must say was lovely..Breakfast was very nice & well serverd…everything else was good..

10.0 / 10.0

Nice hotel. Staff care a lot and are very attentive - some good banter and nice to see some personalities. Breakfast was a little expensive but very robust portions. Will definitely be on the short-list for my next stay.

Hotel was superb - Barnstaple itself was a disappointment with run down town centre.

All of the above

3.0 / 10.0

The hotel is ideally placed to access the town centre. Room was newly decorated so in excellent condition although the bathroom is a little small. Would have expected more fresh fruit for breakfast, most fruit was tinned and the juices are from concentrate. Overall the hotel and dining is expenive for what is provided.

5.0 / 10.0

I have not stayed here for years and was surprised to see that its still a Brend Hotel ( family hotel). I went for breakfast and it was a traditional waiter service breakfast eg you are shown to a table, another waiter takes your order, you choose the items you want and its freshly cooked ( no food sitting under a heated light)

Bed mites made for a sleepless night. We did change rooms but reception staff showed little interest in our concerns!!

The bathroom was a hotbox and if I wanted two single beds pushed together I'll ask for it, terrible night's sleep, no way on earth I'd stay here again

The Imperial is a great example of the days of grand hotels. The room was comfortable and had a newly appointed bathroom. It's a shame that the reception staff showed no joy in their job.

Wonderful Hotel in a very good location close to the shops. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good.

10.0 / 10.0

We very much appreciated the unexpected upgrade to the Imperial Suite. Bathroom was fabulous with one of the best showers ever. The hotel is popular with the older generation, but was in a great location for us and the staff were excellent. Our only criticism was the lack of feather pillows and the hairdryer sounded like it was on its last legs!

5.0 / 10.0

Hotel was lovely, old in style by very grand. Lovely warm rooms, shower over bath but was excellent. Room had empty cupboard for a fridge but non provided. No plug sockets next to bed for phones. Spacious and free car park. Great location. Very grand high end dining room, excellent staff. Would highly recommend.

Great hotel and amazing staff Food superb Despite cost of living and other hotels reducing their standards and cutting corners , this hotel has not .. have stayed many times and will return many more .. fabulous

8.0 / 10.0

The lounge, bistro and restaurant were lovely. Staff were excellent. The food was extremely good. The bedroom was okay, but the decor looked a bit tired. For a four star hotel the the facilities in the room were limited. No spare toilet roll, no shaving mirror and the room itself was a little small. The toilet did not flush that well and the hot water/heating pipes were noisy.

10.0 / 10.0

The hotel is in an excellent position near the town centre but with an easy to access large car park. The staff are unassuming and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food and wines were excellent. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable with attractive traditional furnishings and immaculate en suites. The style is old empire and charming.

Very easy to walk into town . Good breakfast and for a big building very clean. I would go again.

Great little hotel, nestled by the river in Barnstaple. Staff were fab and couldn’t do enough for you. Had a very homely feel and was very cosy. Food awesome! Rooms clean and tidy but no air con so had to have the window open then was woken by bin men at 7am. Certainly not the hotels fault! Overall, very much looking forward to staying there again…

Great quality for the price. Lovely old hotel

10.0 / 10.0

As ever, excellent experience from Barnstaple’s best hotel. Only request - please make sure that the new EV charging spaces are free for EVs rather than allowing anyone to park in the space. Most frustrating when you need to charge your car…

Nice hotel but needs to take a serious look into sound proofing. The guy in the room next to me was on the phone and I could hear his conversation word for word. He may aswell made the call in my room. apart from that it was a nice stay.
