A beautiful old pub. Clean and tidy with a great bistro.

Booking online was simple. The place is easy to find. Parking is in the main st in front of pub. The oub has been refurbished. All facilities were available if not in the room it was in the common areas. I heard no noise from downstairs or people walking down passageway. The shower was good. It had a through wall AC unit which was noisy. I upgraded from a queen bed room with shared showers to a room with an ensuite. The manager charged me $40 for the upgrade when if I'd completed it online it would have been $20. I only used plastic cards in the pub so i didnt need to check my change with each beer or dinner. The food was ok and it appears many people come in to eat there. Id recommend you book online to stay there.

First time staying in a hotel above a pub. Has great history and beautiful building. We would definitely stay again!

No internet (even though the booking said there was). No elevator - all rooms upstairs. Shared kitchen (could use a cleaning).

The staff were lovely. I loved the old Hotel I felt safe and welcomed. I would have prefered my room to have its own bathroom but I had a wonderful stay and will be back 😀

We were really disappointed with our stay. While the room was large and had an ensuite with shower and toilet, there were a number of reasons why we wouldn't stay here again. The beds were very old and overused. The sheets appeared dirty and it felt as though they had not been cleaned from the previous guest (blood on one sheet). We purchased sheets from Woolworths for the kids beds. The water in the shower was almost cold. The air conditioner and wall heater were both tagged as failed. TV remote was faulty.

The hotel is central and the meals are great.The accomodation side if the bussines is dirty and poorly maintained.eg no dishwashing equipment in the shared kitchen.

B- double Truck movement noise until 1.30 a.m and all day through the Main Street of town.

Fun atmosphere

We like staying at Aussie country pubs, but unfortunately this was bit too noisy (B-Doubles all night) and untidy on the whole for us. There are some rennos going on (eg painting and room decor), but bed was spongy and cleanliness an issue.

First room was filthy. There was still hair everywhere and had obviously not been cleaned. Second room, although clean was not much better. It was cold, there was no heating or even a blanket on the bed. Staff were lovely and very friendly and helpful I know it is budget accommodation, the room should have been at least cleaned to present a COVIDSafe environment.

We only stayed the night. The room was very cheap and definitely needs a makeover. In saying that the room was clean and comfortable, the beers were cold and dinner was very good.

Booked a room with private bathroom. Given room with no bathroom. Manager rude

A beautiful old building and a good meal unfortunately not kept well

Ok. So we knew it was going to be basic but it was unclean and basic which is not a good condition. Bedding was awful: Stained, mysterious hairs found in one bed, blankets held together by tape?! Most of the power points didn’t work. One room had no fan (there is no aircon) which was not very comfortable on a summer night. Shared toilets had no hand soap and ran out of toilet paper. Also very noisy with trucks braking for the roundabout immediately outside. On a positive Note the staff were super friendly and the downstairs dining was delish.

Good points: convenient location. Inexpensive. Restaurant downstairs was good. Bad points: original room was dark and dirty and very noisy with trucks passing outside all night. Changed to a brighter and quieter room, but hotel is poorly maintained overall. Leaking taps, unemptied bins, no toilet paper in one of the stalls, broken lighting, furniture and fittings; cobwebs covering the stair bannisters and unvacuumed floors. It wouldn’t take much effort to make big improvements here, but with lots of competition from motels nearby, I’m not sure how much more business it would attract.

No hot shower. Sink drain was blocked in the room.

Booked a double and sofa bed room on expedia. They had no clue about it when we arrived, went to give me a room with 3 single beds. Food was not nice - parma and Kiev both over cooked. Lamb chop cut unidentifiable and not cooked well. Even beer tasted stale. Our daughter left her digital watch in room - fitbit charge HR - (definitely- tracked/synced to bathroom this morning) rang to ask about it, cleaner stated and relayed back to us that she didn’t see it. Not interested in helping one little bit. Refused to go back and check bathroom on request. I believe our 12 yo daughters loss has become someone’s gain.

The Imperial is one of those grand old hotels that saw their heyday in days of yesteryear. There is the requisite portrait of a very young Queen Lizzy upstairs in the hotel quarters and the long wide verandah that wraps around the front of the hotel has enough space to dream on, sit and watch the main street or play racquet ball if the mood took you.The staff are friendly and if you move into the groove of this place, (it isnt central sydney peeps) the people and the surroundings shine. This place is not for the precious, the princesses or those lacking an imagination.The accommodation reminds me of a ramshackle old share house, full of rooms of different characters. Some have been given a very modern and chic make up, others are a little less fancy.The light in the ladies toilet and shower room probably does need to be fixed soon, but theres such a relaxed vibe here, it seems almost fun having the phone as the only source of light by which you tinkle.There are touches of thought and artistic arrangement, someone here has an eye and has made the best of what is there... the bones of this place are beautiful. It was a truly imperial place back in the day, and the pace and patina of that time still echos in the place.The bistro serves hearty, delicious and generous food. Tuesdays and Fridays offer a 2 for 1 deal, which is an added bonus.This hotel is a little like life, how and what you get out of the Imperial depends on what you put it.

Small cramped room with no facilities, all you can hear are air brakes and Diesel engines as the trucks slow for the roundabout outside

Lovely old hotel with good kitchen facilities (fridges, freezers, tea, coffee), and TV lounge. Single rooms do no have a TV, but I was upgraded to a room that had one. Convenient for shops etc, and walks around town, plus wonderful drive to the astronomical telescope station. Nice helpful staff, and easy parking on the streets. No Wi-fi

Bad customer service. Description of room did not match the room. Cockroaches. Charged for 2 nights despite only booking for one.

Nice hotel in the middle of a long drive. We arrived on a Sunday and the hotel dining area was closed but there are lots of other places to eat nearby. The bar was open and the beers were cold. We had shared amenities which are clean and close to the rooms. Our room was very quiet which was surprising as the hotel is on a highway and a lot of trucks pass by. Not impressed with hotels.com on the other hand. When we arrived we were told that the room had been cancelled by them the day after we booked it and had failed to inform us. They told the owners that they had sent us an email although a few days before we arrived they sent us a reminder about our upcoming stay and on the day we arrived an email to rate our check in. The owners were very helpful found us a room and everything worked out well.

New owners are updating rooms and facilities will be good when finished. A whole lot better than it was a few years ago.

It is fine for the money paid. However, on Saturday nights, there are bands playing in the pub downstairs, and the loud music can be heard and felt in the room where I stayed.
