Greeted by Gemma with a great big smile and a very pleasant attitude. She made you feel very welcome. The hotel was very quiet, clean and friendly. There’s a tram stop opposite. My only problem was that the bed was rock hard but that wouldn’t stop me staying there again. Can’t wait to come back again.

I like the Imperial but it would have been nice if the telephone in the room worked and there had been room service. There was no information as to how to use the shower. I would have liked the tv to have subtitles. The room was spacious and comfortable also reasonably priced and in a good location.
