We stayed here for 2 nights B&B & the first nights evening meal. Unfortunately we decided to use the hotel nearby for the evening meal a big mistake. The President Hotel is in the same group of hotels unfortunately the reception staff do not understand English & the restaurant staff have no idea of what customer service is. We were... more

As a frequent visitor for over 40 years, London has never failed to disappoint with shabby, outdated and often unclean hotel rooms in the value price range. So the Imperial was a pleasant surprise! Clean recently updated rooms with full bath, pleasant and helpful staff, and a fun bar/restaurant with late hours for after the theatre. I agree with others... more

I stayed here for 4 nights and in all honesty wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Firstly the staff were unhelpful and unfriendly. I have never seen such a "dated" hotel in my life. I actually call it Faulty Towers gone Large. The room itself was clean enough but the bedding was not comfortable, the beds have wheels so be prepared... more

I like this hotel. There are a few things that irritate me, but I have to remind myself that on our last visit we stayed round the corner in a terrible B&B, the room didnt have a tv etc etc, so to say this is £20 more expensive than the ultra budget london b&b's it is fantastic. LOVED: nice little... more

The hotel we had booked on line was dirty and unsafe and we took a risk walking out at 10pm with nowhere to stay - it was also the end of London Fashion We ek and really busy. Round the corner was the Imperial - reasonable rates, nice rooms, fabulously helpful staff, great bar, good food, great weekend. more

I recommend this hotel but you should certainly not expect American style accommodations and you should understand that you travel to experience other cultures. I also recommend upgrading to the executive rooms if you have more than one person and you can afford the small extra amount (you will get some extra room; nothing more, but I find that valuable... more

Finding a cheap hotel in a good location in London is tough. I've stayed in a couple and while they've always been ok they've never been really up to standard; until now. The Imperial is a lovely little hotel in a very nice area with easy walking range of Euston yet at almost a mid-point to the major attraction (which,... more

I stayed here for one night and having read some of the reviews, I wasn't looking forward to it. Generally speaking for a central London hotel, for 105 for a twin room, it was OK. It was clean enough, the decor was a bit tired but could have been worse. The 60s cell block exterior wasn't inviting and the 'Elizabethan... more
