Official Description (provided by the hotel):: The Imperial Hotel in Brighton & Hove mixes tradition and function with a light, fresh airiness. Its ideal position – at the end of the broadest of avenues – with its uncluttered outlook by the sea, is situated alongside Hove Promenade and The Lawns. This functional, exceptionally good value hotel is of the Regency period; its high ceilings and spacious bar and lounge are noticeable, as is its still, calm ambiance. The Imperial provides an excellent level of customer service and its conference facilities, coupled with a smart bar and an attractive restaurant, make it an equally popular venue for a variety of functions. Ample Parking is available on the street and surrounding areas using our low cost residential permit scheme at just £6.00 per day. We also offer spaces on a 'first come first served basis' on our hard standing area at £15 per day. The Imperial Hotel is the perfect choice whether you are visiting for pleasure or business! ... more less

Reservation Options:: TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, HotelsClick and Priceline so you can book your Imperial reservations with confidence. We help millions of travellers each month to find the perfect hotel for both holiday and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

“Have we stayed at a different hotel?”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

My daughter and I have stayed at this hotel, in a twin room, on the second floor, twice in the last two months. I have had to stay at this location for convenience of its proximity to The Brighton Implant Clinic in Hove. The rooms are basic but they are very clean and our bathroom was well equipped and the...

“Room a disgrace, breakfast a farce!”

Reviewed 2 June 2013

We had booked and paid for in advance for two nights bed and breakfast. The room we were allocated, 221 was shabby and tatty. The wallpaper border had masking tape stuck all over it, presumably to keep it on the wall. For some strange reason both our bedroom and bathroom door had had about 3" removed from the bottom of...

Was this review helpful? Yes

Regrettably we view these comments is hyperbolic for we cannot identify with the sentiments being expressed; more than that our breakfast waiter Francisco has been upset by the inappropriate tenor of the review when set against the great feedback he receives from other guests Room 221 is superbly appointed at the front of the hotel with full length windows and...

“A perfect place to escape from the Kids.”

Me and my Husband decided to book a last minute brake in Brighon and stumbled upon The Imperial on Booking.com. It was a bed and breakfast deal two days /two night in which one would jump at.

“Terrible, is just not the word..”

Reviewed 31 May 2013

If you are looking forward to enjoying your weekend away or spend a night and relax, Imperial Hotel is NOT a place for you!! Awful service and rude staff, is just the one issue out of a million. The worst presentation. Not even going to mention the hygiene factors!! Not worth £10... SAVE THE MONEY.. SLEEP ON THE BEACH! If... More

We have delayed posting a response to this review which we view as disingenuous and cannot identify with any guest fitting this description. Our staff and the Imperial, being the Grande Dame of First Avenue, really do their best and it is unacceptable to have these genuine and thoughtful endeavours undermined in this way More

“Faulty Towers Breakfast”

Room acceptable but breafast service is a farce, Ran out of the basics and then when asked to provide them wanted to make it seem as if it was the customers fault for being there. Save your money and eat out in nice cafe.

Something of a mixed review and while we are sorry that the guest felt breakfast did not pass muster, by the same token it has not proven easy to identify the specific situation being described Even so we of course appreciate the custom More

“Good staff and location let down by average facilities and lack of cleanliness”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

Stayed here for 3 nights during the Brighton Festival. The hotel is in a good location, near to the town centre but far away enough to be quiet and peaceful at all hours, and just round the corner from the beach. The staff are also very helpful - we were early for check-in and able to leave our bags in... More

Something of a mixed review though we were pleased we were able to provide this guest with three nights accommodation at an extremely competitive price. Have investigated matters fully, we are at a loss concerning the issues around cleanliness as we have a longstanding, hardworking and committed housekeeping team who take serious pride in their work. Similarly our laundry company... More

“good place to stay”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

Our stay was due to a family wedding in Brighton, we found the staff very helpful. Although the hotel is outside of Brighton, the sea front is literally two minutes away (albeit across a busy road), We thought the hotel was good value for money and would have no hesitation in staying there again.

A really positive and helpful review thank you We hope the wedding was a great success and hopefully now with better weather we will see you back before too long Renewed thanks for you custom and kind words More
