Cottages in Ashford

"Having stayed at this hotel twice already, the second one with the room being flooded and NO compensation offered, we reluctantly booked another stay. This was purely for it being in close proximity to our needs. We are a party of 4, which includes an elderly person in a wheelchair who is in their late nineties. When we booked our latest visit, we phoned to request a connecting room to the accessible room that we had booked. The other room that we booked was a Queen with sofa bed. The person at the hotel confirmed that an accessible room with a connecting room was reserved for us on the 4th floor. Upon checking in were shocked to hear that the accessible room and other room were in close proximity. When we queried that we had specifically booked and paid for the 2 connecting rooms, the receptionist went to speak to someone from reservations. Came back a while later confirming that we now had connecting rooms however on the 1st floor. We went to our rooms & found that the connecting room only had a Queen bed but no sofa bed. Went back to Reception (another person served us so we had to tell her the whole story again and she had to check with Reservations what had happened). Apparently the room reserved for us was occupied by someone the week before and they extended their stay for a week so they remained in same room!! We paid extra for a room that we didn’t get - we had to insist on a refund for the balance. Not acceptable! Room were dirty and extremely noisy. Poor service!!"

"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."

"The room was clean and large. Pillows were great but I felt the mattress could have been a better quality. The staff were helpful and prompt in serving the customers. The breakfast was adequate. I would have liked to see a larger variety of fresh fruit salad. the bar staff were helpful. This hotel is great value for the price and I would book again or recommend to friends."

"Beautiful view from the restaurant and pub. Sea view rooms are quite small! Definitely view of harbour rooms are better."

"Our room was very well presented. So he breakfast was very good. Most of all - without exception - the staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient"

"Two nice bars, and most days wonderful musician / dancers on stage in the ballroom . Regular events are free to those staying in hotel."

"Room was ok. * Could have been cleaner (cobwebs on the light shades) * No bottled water in the room. * Only two teabags / no biscuits (like other hotels) Breakfast was ok * Buffet service - limited selection / machine coffee Desk staff - friendly and helpful"

"This was our 5th stay at this wonderful hotel, I cannot praise it enough, I just don't see a negative"

"Generally the standard of hygiene could be improved dramatically , just very dusty and dirty in certain areas. They just need to hoover the carpet more. We had a blocked sink and the water wasn’t very warm despite setting to maximum. I understand other guests had similar issues. Positives were - very friendly staff, comfy bed and oreo snacks were nice"
