    central location
    delicious breakfast

    excellent base for strolling through parks and local attractions

    my stay was made even more enjoyable by the central location, making it easy to explore nearby Threave Garden, which is just a short 15-minute walk away, as well as the charming cafes such as Mr Pook's Kitchen that are only a few steps from the hotel, perfect for grabbing a bite before heading out for a day of sightseeing.

    historical features
    dated decor
    maintenance issues

    historical features, ample parking, good WiFi

    Dated decor left a lot to be desired!!! The maintenance issues, like peeling wallpaper and grubby paintwork, really affect comfort!!! Noise from the bar was intrusive, making relaxation impossible!!! There's much room for improvement here!!!

    cozy atmosphere
    friendly staff
    excellent breakfasts
    dated decor
    bar noise

    The cozy atmosphere at The Imperial Hotel stood out right away. The friendly staff greeted me warmly, making me feel at home instantly. Breakfast options were excellent. I especially enjoyed the full Scottish breakfast—definitely a highlight of my mornings. The bar area had a charming vibe, and it was a great spot to relax after a long day. the room decor felt a bit dated, and it might need a refresh soon. Noise from the bar next door was quite intrusive, making it challenging to unwind at times. While the clean bathroom provided ample hot water, it too had areas that could use some modernization. Parking was convenient, and I appreciated the ample space in the room. All in all, my stay had its ups and downs, but the welcoming nature of the staff and the delicious breakfasts left a good impression.

    I truly enjoyed my stay at The Imperial Hotel. The welcoming staff made me feel right at home, and the breakfasts were delightful—freshly cooked and served promptly. The bar was well stocked, providing a cozy place to unwind.

    The room decor is a bit dated.
