Camille, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A nice hotel with a great dining room and piano bar. The toilet in the lobby could be better, need a refurb! Reception told us to wait in the lounge as our room wasn’t ready and then forgot about us, probably because of staff handover but this needs to be taken into account. A nice hotel.

The hotel was elegant and welcoming, My friend and I went to bed each night pondering what delicious treats to have for breakfast in the morning, The staff was friendly and helpful , and we loved having a Guinness at Fitzgerald 's last evening, The room was tastefully appointed , and the bed was comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed the array of pillows! The service was impeccable, and we will be raving to our friends and families about our stay at The Imperial, to be sure!
