Stayed at the Imperial Hotel in Ilfracombe whilst on coach holiday with Alfa. This was the second time myself, my wife and my mother in law used Alfa. We had previously stayed at the Regina Hotel in Torquay. The Imperial was very clean and comfortable, and my wife and I had sea view room which overlooked the Landmark theatre and... More

Our room alone had the curtain fall down, the shower door fall off, and a very dangerous, sloping area where the kettle was sited. But the room was kept very... More

I am sorry that you were disappointed with aspects of your stay at the Imperial Hotel. The maintenance problems in your room were not reported to anyone until the third day of your 5 day break and they were repaired immediately after you reported them. The tea and coffee making facility is on the dressing table which does not slope.... More

My partner and I stayed at the Imperial for a 5 day Christmas holiday with Alfa travel. We had a really enjoyable time. As with all Leisureplex hotels that Alfa use, this one was as good, if not better, than the 3 other ones we have stayed at. Nothing was too much trouble. Every meal was served hot, quickly and...

We have just spent an enjoyable four nights in the Imperial Hotel on an Alpha Turkey & Tinsel. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Food was plentiful and tasty. Service was second to none, couldn't fault it. Nice big lounges, plenty of room to spread around. Hotel is in a fantastic position, opposite the Landmark theatre with lovely walks around. Didn't...

Spaciousl lounge area overlooking the Landmark Theatre. Hotel is central heated making rooms uncomfortably warm. Had to borrow a fan to cool down at night, bearing in mind it was the end of october. some entertainment put on but not of a high standard. Uninviting restaurant with no windows although food was up to standard. A take it or leave... More

I stayed at this hotel previously and was appalled by the manager's attitude - he even lied to Alfa when I put in a complaint about no radiator in room 207 - although the brochure states 'all rooms centrally heated' - when I pointed this out to him - he sent a mobile heater up and said 'well it is...

But.... oh my room!!! Being a single you always expect to be put in a broom cupboard and this room was... More
