The Old Imperial Hotel Youghal

Lack of a lift (elevator) can make it difficult for the older guests in a group but overall the proprietor (Paul) and his chef-partner embody Irish hospitality. I would stay again without pause while in the Youghal area.

Great central location is obvious. The welcome afforded to my parents and I was unbeatable. From the word go we were made to feel like valued friends. Food was superb, and the service even better than that. We only had a brief stay for the purposes of attending the Lismore Opera Festival nearby. We are now set upon a return to The Old Imperial this time next year, but next time to make a two or three night stay. To balance my review I'd point out that the lack of an elevator may pose some guests with an issue but now I'm nit-picking. All round I have to give this hotel top marks.

Would recommend to anyone. Top class food and extremely friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay.

The room was lovely nice comfy bed there was plenty of space in the room and nice and quiet

Comfortable one night stay in a pleasant spacious room as we traveled through the area. The staff were wonderful.

We are travelling around Ireland with no specific plans, staying wherever we find ourselves in the late afternoon. We just stumbled onto Youghal and found this beautiful hotel. A real gem Ta be sure Ta be sure.

My experience at this hotel was absolutely fantastic from the moment we stepped into the hotel we were treated royally, we were upgraded to a suite when we arrived, extremely comfortable ,bright,and spacious The staff were very friendly and were constantly asking if they could help give advise on places to see and things to do in the area. We met many of the local characters and they invited us to join them and brought us to a local pub where we had a great night. As the the food at the Old Imperial that was amazing food heaven you could not fault a thing, from taste,presentation and choice, flawless. We were sad to be leaving but will definitely return and tell all my friends and relatives !!! Thumbs up 100%

I was very impressed with this hotel. Good spacious room. Ideal for a few days' stay and very reasonably priced. I would recommend it.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. We needed to do laundry after being in Ireland for a week already. A staff member told us that, since it was Saturday when we checked in, we wouldn't be able to get it done until Monday (we left Monday). No facilities in the surrounding area for self-serve. She said that she would take care of our laundry by having the staff wash and dry it! We were very grateful for that! The hotel is old. No elevator, so you have to lug your bags up several flights of stairs to your room. Inside, the room is comfortable but not really up to the standard of a more modern hotel. The wifi was not useable in our room AT ALL! We had to go downstairs to the bar to use it. Very disappointing. The windows did not shut out the constant street noise.

This hotel is relatively small and so centrally located on Main Street. Free parking, lovely staff, easy access.
