My stay at The Imperial Torquay was a mixed experience. The amazing sea views and the helpful staff definitely stood out, making for a pleasant environment. However, I found the hotel itself to be a bit dated and in need of some TLC, especially considering the price I paid for my room. While I enjoyed the extensive breakfast options, some areas felt neglected. Overall, it was good, but I think it could be much better with a few improvements.

I had a lovely time at The Imperial Torquay, thanks to amazing views and comfy accommodations. However, my evening meal was a letdown, particularly the presentation of my Pork main course, which felt way overhyped. The initial check-in took longer than it should have, but overall, I would recommend this hotel for its cleanliness and atmosphere.

The location is great with stunning views over the bay, though it's set on top of a steep hill. It's just a short walk down to the marina area, making it convenient for exploring Torquay.

Facilities like the indoor and outdoor pools were a highlight of my stay. However, the bar area closed too early for my liking, and the path to the leisure center could definitely use easier access.
