Imperial Hotel Express offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable and Clean

During my stay, I found the rooms to be impeccably maintained, clean, and well-appointed. There was hot running water with high pressure and great air conditioning. It was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

I loved the breakfast here! Every morning, the chef introduced new varieties to the menu, making each day feel special. From the delicious egg curry to fresh avocado and papaya, there was something to suit every taste. This was truly a highlight of my stay!

Well-Appointed Media Options

Although the room had a limited number of TV channels, I still enjoyed my stay as I was busy exploring the surroundings. The entertainment options available were fine for winding down after a busy day, although I would suggest adding more children's channels for families.
