The Imperial Hotel

Well I booked a room but then I couldn’t go due to reasons out of my control. This hotel decided to not refund any of the booking or talk to me about it. When cost of living is an issue this hotel doesn’t show any empathy or understanding.

4 Lamb shanks at a table of seven for dinner and we couldn’t be happier. Lovely flavour, perfect size, greens cooked perfectly. We will be back. Worth the drive from the Gold Coast. Sunday sess music was a tad loud but finished about 6.30pm. Great country a**osphere beats Gold Coast pretensions any day!

This accommodation was near perfect for me. The single room was newly renovated, spotless, comfortable and great size ensuite bathroom. Loved that there is a kitchen sink to fill up the kettle. Right in the middle of town and walking distance to all shops, theatre and a club. I stayed in room number 2 which was on the far western end of the building. Unfortunately there were a lot of workers staying up my end of the building so I was woken each morning at 5:15 am with their door then the door to the outside staircase slamming shut. If you're an early riser there would be no problem. I became an early riser. Not sure if the rooms further to the east side of the building would have the same problem. There was a band on one night but I barely heard it up my end of the building. I rated my 3 night stay 4 star only because of the very early wake-up door slamming, which is unavoidable due to the design of the door locks. Otherwise, a lovely stay. I would happily stay again.

Very cute hotel in main st of Murwillumbah. Looks to be recently renovated. Perfect for overnight stopover for me on way through to Qld. Pros: cosy, renovated, big ensuite, kitchenette, location. Cons: no shelf/cupboard to put your bathroom items, water pressure way too soft, shower needs a screen to prevent water spilling into rest of bathroom, needs power points & bedside lamp next to bed (how can guests read in bed)? Overall happy with my stay - just need to fix the cons and it’d be perfect

Fantastic Value and a pleasant surprise. An immaculately clean room that looked as though it has been recently refurbished. We had a superior queen room that had a kitchenette and a sitting area. Meals in the bistro were good value with 15 meals at $15 and excellent quality. The bar staff were friendly and attentive. Good vibe for old and young, highly recommended and will stay next time we travel through Air conditioning in the room is ducted and no control for the room, so it was a bit stuffy. Booking in was a bit clumbsy and they kept us waiting for a while but the bar staff did make us comfortable. No powerpoints next to the bed so my husband couldn't use his CPAP machine. We did ask for an extension lead but wasn't available. Confusing access to the rooms but once we found our way, it was ok. Parking with a trailer wasn't possible and we had to park on the street with a 2 hr limit.

What a wonderful pub! Full of character and full of characters. The architect is beautiful and the place is open with plenty of fresh air. We had pork ribs, chicken schnitzel and barramundi - all were excellent and generous portions. Prices were very reasonable as well. Selection of beers is good but could be improved with additional craft beer on tap. Great pub!

I stayed here with my husband for a mid-week get away. The renovations are tasteful leaving a fresh, clean vibe to the place. I love old-style hotels! I agree with earlier reviews regarding bedside tables on both sides of the bed, bedside lamps, bathroom storage, a rubbish bin in the bedroom and most importantly, a bathroom door. There were Power points by the bed and a mirror in the bathroom early in 2022, but no shower screen yet. Knowing that more features are on the way, doesn’t help when there is no bathroom door and it’s basically an open plan room. More than 2 teabags would have been useful. I requested more, no issue, but having more provided seems obvious. Wi-fi would also be appreciated. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The little gelato shop connected to the hotel was amazing. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, helpful and professional. The bed was comfy. We had no trouble with noise. Parking was easy once the tradies left the car park. We didn’t think it was an expensive hotel. The meals were reasonably priced. The 15 for $15 were generously sized and delicious. Just be prepared for the bathroom!

After my first night complaint about noise from disco downstairs managment appologized for giving the wrong room and moved me to a more suitable room. They could,nt be more helpful. Thank them for there Co operation.

What great place, busy pub with a good a**osphere. Was a little sceptical about the rooms when I walked in to reception. Never judge before you have seen the proof. Great room, very clean and a great feel about it. Food was typical pub grub, but nothing wrong with that as it was very good.
