    Overnight stay in Great Yarmouth

    No problems with the hotel, but I was particularly advised by the people with whom I had been staying the nights before to be careful about going into the big amusement park that is hard by the hotel on the sea front. This may have been because it has a lot of slot machines for the hard gamblers amongst us, and one might be tempted to overspend here! Yarmouth itself is still a working port and so rather disconcertingly juxtaposes the picturesque with the strictly utilitarian, and you never quite know what you are going to see next if a complete stranger as I was. I did notice that there was a fairly long way to go to find a convenience store for items needing to be replenished purely for personal use!

    Imperial Hotel has a good location on the sea front and provides a pleasant and comfortable home from home in Yarmouth, a town I did not know until finding I had a little extra time to spend in Norfolk after weekending in Cromer a few miles up the coast. Certainly, looking around the town I saw it was indeed the best place that could have been chosen for an overnight stay there. Breakfast was nicely served and made a good start to a further day touring in the area. I also had the chance to see, without committing to a long stay, the town from which some of my ancestors supposedly had hailed years ago, but had never before visited. It seems my mother's father, whom I did not know personally because he was not blessed with long life, had come from there, but connection to the place was lost because he joined the merchant navy over 100 years ago and never returned to live there!! The staff at the hotel and the manager were very gracious people who provided an excellent dinner on arrival in the evening, and the room was very comfortable with a great view of the sea.

    Possible increase on wardrobe space but appreciate that room sizes are governed by existing building layout.

    Breakfast was very good, nice choice of menu and cooked to order which was good. Location of hotel is good, close to main areas but just remote from additional noise etc

    I'm sure the building and lift is listed but maybe you could look to modernise it maybe some automatic doors. But I have to admit it was fun using the lift with the authentic manually operated doors.

    Good location for the event I came to Great Yarmouth to attend. I had a Seaview room and having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was refreshing. The breakfast was plentiful and great quality products well cooked and presented. All the staff were friendly and helpful and made the stay feel special. Single room was nice and clean and had all the amenities I needed.

    £15 per night for our Yorkie. I understand that some dogs my moult and some owners may be less diligent when in their room. We bought our dog basket and left the room spotless.

    The room was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The bed was comfortable and how I like it so slept well. The bathroom was a nice size and very clean but the shower was amazing. Loved the shower, very powerful and felt great. It was also nice to receive decent Wi-Fi as many hotels say they provide Wi-Fi but it’s normally very poor Wi-Fi but this was excellent Wi-Fi coverage. Enjoyed my stay and nothing to complain about.

    The lift, the parking layout, shower pressure was poor. Breakfast was good but small portioned, would be better if continental was help yourself than ordered. Orange juice had bits in it! (Only like smooth)
