Sara
We had a lovely, relaxed stay in a sea view room. Staff were always helpful and the breakfast was very good.
russ
We had a long weekend of 3 nights in a junior suite. Our room was of a good size but the sofa was beyond its sell by date. It had lost its sprung seating & was extremely low.
Having spoken to Stephen the G Manager who assured us new units were on order.
We had already asked our cleaner who sorted some large square cushions to raise the seats. We went to a tribute evening with meal as well as the Sunday Carvery that was excellent too. Our suite had a sea view as the hotel is on the promenade. Very quiet uncommercialised area so a peaceful nights sleep too. Free parking aswell. Good range of breakfast items although for a hotel of this grade l felt queueing up to do your own toast & only one drink machine for potentially 60 + people to be extremely poor. It didnt help with the tea machine by being in a corner at the end of a buffet area. Sometimes 10 people would gather for tea & toast that was shambolic. Lastly cups, plates, bread etc atc was slow to be replenished too & needed several asks.
It took the edge off a stunning stay
We will be back tho & hope the breakfast issues have improved.

Place needs a major refurb. Everything’s worn, tatty, pillows are flat as a pancake, carpets stained, cobwebs dangling from the ceiling and don’t get me started on their breakfast. Inedible. It resembled Fawlty Towers.
Terry
The room (The Bridal Suite) was excellent with lovely views of the sea and Golf Course. However, our stay was spoilt by the very poor and virtually non existent WiFi connection. Blamed on the location of the room, it’s difficult to believe that given the status of the room and what must be a popular wedding venue, that the management said that they have had no previous complaints. Hope our suggestions get actioned
lisa
Great hotel to stay in, next to the beach. Hotel room was lovely, staff great.
Robert
This grand Victorian Hotel is brilliantly located on the sea front in Hythe. It is very well staffed both in terms of numbers and in how helpful they are. Really good air conditioned room: well laid out, spacious, with a massive bath and shower room, and clean and nicely decorated. Good bar and restaurant. Great breakfast options, including a specialist vegan and vegetarian menu for this interested. Free car parking on site. Very competitively priced. Couldn’t fault our stay and would definitely book again.
Eric
Good room and very helpful staff
Sabrina
Only stayed one night but was so worth the price before going for the euro tunnel next morning. Got upgraded to a suite room with stunning views of the beach
Pamela
I thought breakfast was not worth the money. I would have expected real coffee for that money. The staff were a bit vague about the choices on the menu and how it worked.
The air conditioning in one of the rooms we booked was not working and the portable one was hopeless. We didn’t realise this until we went to bed. Not were we aware we could have called someone at a late hour

Nick
This is a good classic Victorian hotel. Sea view room was clean and big enough. Bed was huge ! Bathroom clean with excellent large shower. Good buffet breakfast. Staff were friendly and courteous. My only other comment is I think £300 for one night was a little expensive., which compares to a reasonable London room.
Richard
The internal decoration has been carried out with grey wallpaper, charcoal colour carpet and black or dark brown woodwork. I found it to have an overall effect of gloominess, though some people might like it. The buffet breakfast is adequate, though items run out and are not replenished towards the end of breakfast service. The location is great and there is masses of parking.
Kathleen
It’s a beautiful hotel and a lovely location. The staff are really lovely.
Ariel
Very good service and helpful staff but we could not use the spa because of children swimming on Saturday morning..

Location of hotel was perfect . Walking distance to town beach across from hotel . Local bus service available down the coast .
Our room was very nice . Housekeeping , cleaned well and relished daily .
All staff were polite and pleasant .
Breakfast was disappointing . Not displayed well . Request for poached eggs took forever each morning and were like hard boiled eggs by the time they were received . The breakfast layout just looked a mess .

Great seaside property with refurbished rooms. Nice staff and plenty of parking. Restaurant looks a bit dated but food was excellent and good value
Dragan
The room was clean, but the AC filter was very dirty, making the unit work very hard, but it functioned! The view was amazing, the breakfast good (but the same everyday we stayed) and the staff was very nice. It is a grand older hotel in a beautiful location with free parking. We will go back!

The hotel has been tastfully refurbished but we did not feel valued as guests. First there was the email after booking. Most hotels use this to welcome you and tell you about some of the nice things to look forward to. This hotel just used it to tell me how wrong it woul, having paid in full upfront ,there was the demand for a £50 deposit on arrival. I was told it was to cover damages and was necessary \"because the hotel was independent and couldn't afford to cover the losses\". How sad! Hotel, please note: Not everyone is a thief or vandal - and you know where I live anyway!! No-one checked the room at checkout yet they refunded to deposit. What's the point???
Simon
Great room, was large with comfortable bed, quiet and with lovely views. Room also had real coffee, a fridge and AC. The only disappointment that I found strange was that the hotel bar and restaurant didn’t overlook the sea. To have a hotel turn its back on its main asset (the beachside location) was annoying. Surely would benefit from turning the ballroom into a bar or restaurant!! Staff all pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was fine, good value but nothing special
Robert
Have stayed here many times and it’s always very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Had an issue with my room this time, reported to staff who were quick to rectify. This hotel is directly opposite the beach and has plenty of parking. Great facilities, worth noting that the pool is used by public too so may be busy at times.
David
Staff were very welcoming and very polite. Our room was very good and very clean. Only complaint was with the air conditioning which we did not have on, but it still made a noise in the early hours which woke me up.
Only other minor issue was the inability on Thursday evening to get a meal in the Martello Bar which was crowded with men attending a function.

Amanda
The hotel is very tired, the entrance hall is very dark.
The corridors were dimly lit and needing a refurbished.
The restaurant has no windows.
There is only one passenger lift which is the size of a phone box.
There was a lack of plants or aesthetic touches to brighten the function rooms.

Martyn
Lovely hotel near beach but air con was not switched on when arriving on very hot day, so room was very hot and took a while to cool it down, also air conditioning was too cold in living room but not cold enough in bedroom. Breakfast was good with just a little extra charge for Eggs Royale which was fine. Lovely views from room of beachfront
Lorraine
Hotel was very clean,staff very helpful. Breakfast was ok but the quality of cooked food could have been better. We went for a wedding which was lovely. We didn't use the spa or pool as only there for one night. It was the hottest day of the year and in the parts that were air conditioned it was ok but the actual wedding was outside in the garden and there was no shade for the quests we were all melting and got sun burnt so would advise if its the reason for your visit take hats or umbrella. I would have thought as a main wedding venue that this should have been a priority under the circumstances. The plus side is if you love the beach it is just across the road.

From the moment we arrived we received a warm welcome from reception staff. The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean with a great sea view. The dining experience in their Coast Restaurant was also very good with attentive, friendly waiting staff and excellent food. A really great break away and beautifully positioned on the sea front, will definitely return!
Clinton
Lovely hotel, great location. Dining options were brilliant. Very helpful & friendly staff.
Only complaint was the pillows felt very old, withered and could do with a refresh.
Got a sea facing room at no extra cost which had brilliant view.

Hotel facilities, grounds and location were great. Food was nice, but service could have been better. It wasn’t terrible, just not very efficient. They forgot the starter and brought it out after the main course. No-one noticed that we hadn’t got any water, so had to ask. No one noticed when we need more water, so had to ask twice. They seemed to have enough staff, just some training and basic issues that stopped it from being excellent - all things which could easily be fixed. If staff are not going to be vigilant regarding water, then maybe a jug of water on the table would be an easy fix. They did recognise service was slow, and over-compensated in a way (didn’t charge for starter, didn’t add service, gave an extra discount plus an extra glass of wine) - maybe be better to discuss and offer, as we felt they had over-compensated, so left some cash as a tip to balance things out.
Tommy
Clean and friendly.
Emma
Room was lovely. Felt that the bar service was quite slow. Toilets in reception area were in a terrible state on arrival and even worse the following morning - definitely needed to be clean on a more frequent basis. Had drinks in The Snug which was a lovely space but dirty tables and crumbs on the floor. Not what I expected from a four star hotel. Would stay at the hotel agdd as in but they definitely need to up their game.
Brian
Nice hotel clean and breakfast was ok
Judith
Was upgraded to sea view room with lovely view. Bathrooom needs a refresh as does hotel generally especially restaurant area, big room with no character. Staff were polite. Bar area okay but not sure staff have been trained very well, gin and tonic in white wine glass.
Restaurant food was very average and starters were awful. Very expensive wine list.

So much could have been easily so much better!
Disappointing right from arrival and we’re told maintenance were still in our room. Not help by the duty manager informing us they had to sort things because VIP guests were arriving the following day! Made us feel really valued as guests.
Room was fine but warm. Decent bedding and lovely spacious bathroom.
Downstairs bar was stuffy with smelly stale air. Really needed windows to be opened!
Breakfast was poor. Mini fridge contains fruit and yogurt pots with soggy granola. Coffee machine provided weak coffee. Hot buffet food was poor quality with cheap supermarket sliced bread. I did ask for fresh plain yogurt and that came so I was able to have that with honey.
Staff need to be encouraged to make guests feel welcome not hindrances and use please and thank you!

Lovely hotel with easy access and parking. Very friendly and efficient staff. Great size rooms that have good facilities and very comfortable. Restaurant was lovely with amazing food and attentive staff. Overall a brilliant place to stay.
David
Overall the hotel looks good from all angles, and is nicely decorated throughout.
Lager choices are a little disappointing, and a few more pub classics would be a benefit.
i only have two areas that were disappointing, one being the WiFi was always dropping out, a real pain when working or watching a video.
My second area of disappointment would have to be the breakfast, as it's extremely expensive and what was on offer was not worth half of the amount charged.

Food was out of this world 🌎 blown away by the detail & taste 😋in the Coast restaurant, looks like a quick setup of tables on a vacant dance floor, but by heck the food is the stuff of what you dream of 😆
Sean
We had a lovely evening/night at the hythe imperial hotel. Lovely seaweiw room and great food .so good we brought the rest of the family back for lunch the next week .well done guys thankyou.
Dawn
Hotel overall was good. We were upgraded to sea view room which was nice. Rooms were clean and modern. Had everything you needed for your stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice and dining area was pleasant.
The spa was disappointing. Really needs some TLC. Very dated, could do with some attention. Changing rooms were not very clean. Unfortunately there were children having swimming lessons so not a nice relaxing experience 😞and difficult to have a proper swim. So that did let it down but overall had a nice stay.

Booked out last Friday booked two rooms and paid £50 per room against charges if any to the rooms.
Pending transaction still sitting on my account so unable to use that money not good enough.

Great location on the beachfront. Well maintained property with clean rooms and the extras you would expect - safety deposit box, ironing board etc. I wasn't particularly impressed with the in house toiletries which seemed cheap.
Staff were all friendly and helpful and parking was easy and included in the booking price.
Breakfast was fine but a little underwhelming. There was a good but not extensive range on offer. The breakfast room itself was pleasant and calm.
All in all a good hotel. Would happily return.

We stayed here on the 19th May ready to talk the shuttle to France. The staff were friendly proffesi and answered any questions. The room was lovely very clean everything you would expect with real comfy beds. The hotel is in the perfect location to walk along the sea front or have a stroll through the gardens at the back. Would highly recommend this hotel and stay again.

The room was really lovely 4*. It was quiet, overlooked lovely gardens. Great size and nicely laid out.
But coming into hotel reception was dark and smelt of stale beer....we actually thought of leaving. Staff not very friendly or welcoming, apart from one person in breakfast room who was very helpful...Leo. Food and breakfast were all good. We didn't use swimming pool as it didn't look great and had read several poor reviews. But location was brilliant. Short walk into a lovely high street and along the canal. So room 4* staff and reception area are just about 3*
I was surprised how dark it is inside as it is right on sea front but there were no lounges, dining areas over looking the sea. Sea front and walks were stunning.
Parking was great.
Room was clean but not spotless. And we had a tricky encounter with staff when we asked for clean cups for our room!
Overall quite a pleasant stay, positives just about out weighed the negatives

Great stay as always.
Pool, bar and breakfast all excellent.
I have used this hotel for many many years, to stay or just to use the bar. Always one of my favourite places to be.

We stayed for six nights, there was some fluff on the floor when we checked in, it was still there when we checked out!
One evening, we had a decent lunch so only wanted a snack in the evening. We both had ham sandwiches which while nice ham, no attempt had been made to present them, for example, a salad garnish would have gone a long way.
At breakfast the buffet was always running out of teaspoons, mugs for tea/coffee, marmalade, stupid things.
One evening I went to use the disabled toilet, the attached picture shows how I found it.

Nice seafront position and comfortable room but breakfast was a real let down

Overall good. Room not cleaned first day, phoned reception and they said cleaning may not be done till 4pm - too late for room cleaning in our opinion. Bar staff good, girls who did massages were lovely and very good. Some staff in other areas not quite 100%. Restaurant menu the same every day but food good, our waitress was very efficient and sweet. Would come again - just needs a couple of tweeks
Kim
Lovely room (free upgrade to a sea view room). Staff helpful and pleasant. Food in Martello Bar very good if a little pricey.
Frank
Beach view obstruction. No correct glasses for gin and tonic’s
Rory
The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. Shower head started dripping at 5am. Whilst they do not offer early check-in, a little more effort could have been made as we'd arrived on a long haul flight and wanted to rest.
Nora
Staff very friendly and helpful. Clean room, nice spa. Very happy overall. Bar was a bit pricey though.
Peter
Beach view.
Comfortable bed and spacious room.
Corridors and room very hot even with air con on.
And post weddding reception super noisy.
Cooked breakfast was good but the cold selection wasn’t great and the orange and apple juice was watery.

Excellent night’s stay. Room spacious and comfortable. Enjoyed spa facilities in the morning. Good choice of breakfast options - liked the new buffet. Staff friendly and helpful. We stay at the Imperial quite frequently and love the location and sea view.
Stephen

Claire
Fabulous hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Great spa and treatment options. Thoroughly recommend and will shortly be returning.
Janice
Lovely hotel, good location and great service.
Michael
Staff uniformly good and friendly, especially Leo in the breakfast room. Coast restaurant was nice for one night. Spa/gym facilities good - shared with non-resident club members.
Disappointed the Moet bar only open over weekend. Not mentioned on website. None of the public rooms available to residents have a sea view which is a disappointment given the hotel's location.
DON'T BUILD ON THE REST OF THE GOLF COURSE!

Beautiful hotel & lovely spa & great staff.

We had a lovely stay at Hythe Imperial Hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, and my room was spotless, comfortable and very well presented.
What really made the experience though was the staff, such a friendly and welcoming team. The girls at check-in and at breakfast were especially lovely.
Breakfast was really good, with plenty of choice and high quality food. It was also a real treat to be able to use the spa facilities and properly relax during our stay.
The location is perfect as well – being right by the beach made it even more special.
We would definitely return and highly recommend it!
