Grand Hotel Imperial

L'hotel est accueillant et propre, très bien situé à proximité directe de la ville, très beau parc, organisation des activités très bien, notamment taxi boat gratuit qui évite de prendre la voiture. ne pas hésiter à demander des informations sur les excursions etc. + Balcons spacieux, + salle de bains petite (chambre supérieure vue mer)

Stayed in Valamar Collection Imperial Hotel in September for 1 night. It is a beautiful property with lush gardens and lovely views. Although we only stayed 1 night, we arrived early and had a chance to explore the old town area and have dinner. We had great weather and next day explored some more and took pictures before checking out. Beautiful property; beautifully landscaped. Old town quite charming. Arriving at the dock by ferry from the mainland took us 15 minutes and by car to reach the hotel another 15.. Very clean and well serviced. Many restaurant in the old town ( a 5 min walk) . The hotel is adults only... Would stay here again. Note: Parking for luggage drop off is on the side of the building. Staff will assist in handling all the way to the room. Also, check the ferry schedules for departure times.We had a "photo finish" at the dock when leaving.

Yesterday we returned from Rab and we stayed for two nights in the seaside and balcony room. All I can say is that it was wonderfull: service, room, staff, equippement, gin bar, location, pool amd breakfast. Fresh orange juice for breakfast, calm area, and the quiteness you will surely notice while staying in this hotel. The beach is just 5min walking distanace, such as old town with great gastro offer I recommend it to everyone who want's a perfect 5* holiday and relaxing time. We'll come back!

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel, the presentation, staff and decor were outstanding. The pool area was beautifully designed and maintained. We went to the hotel for breakfast and decided to stay for 3 nights. I have a gluten allergy which they were sensitive to and catered for professionally. This excellent service was led by the Food and Beverage Manager, Boris. His warm and friendly demeanour and professionalism is why we decided to stay at this hotel. Also a big thank you to Marin and Ivana Dudic for the excellent service. We would highly recommend this hotel.

We have just come back after a 10 days vacation in this brand new hotel in the heart of the island, just five minutes walk from the city center and adults only. Here are some considerations about: - location: few minutes walk from the old town; 10-15 min drive to Suha Punta beaches; 30 min drive to Lopar; private parking; easy arrival from the ferries' points of disembarkation; - our room was 431 at the 4th and last floor of the hotel, king size bed; bathroom with shower but no bidet. The room has a beautiful sea and old city views ( yes!!! you can easily count the four bell towers of the old city). The balcony is south oriented so to have the possibility to hang the sun towel at th end of the day. The aircon system is not so noisy but in the usual Daikin style, it is very poweful! - breakfast/dinner: we booked halfboard and at the end of the day it was a good decision since when you get back from the beach the most of the times you are too tired to queue at the nearest restaurant in the old town. The breakfast is very rich in everything you can desire being it italian style ( cappuccino& cornetto) or international with sausages, omelette, onions and so on; the dinner is based on a seven days menu so if you stay more than a week you will get the same choice of disches after the seventh day which , to me, was not such an issue. The waiters are always ready to serve at the tables and some of them speak different languages; -the pool: it is very clean with lot of sun beds to choose; you are also given a towel card so to take a towel directly from the pool area and use it instead of your own one; there is a bar and a reserved area where you are allowed to access only if you upgrade in the price; -wellness&spa: the hotel gives the possibility to book a massage which I would recommend in case of bad weather; -beaches: the hotel offers in the price a voucher to have free taxi boat to Suha punta - Frkani beach;anyway I would recommend to take your own car and afford 10-15m drive to the locations and, yes, pay 25 kunas to park but being free to manage your own time at the beach not depending on the taxi boat; I would recommend to have a long talk to Diana next to the check-in table to be informed on all the species of beaches that "inhabit" Rab island. - sports: the hotel has a fitness center where you have free access to; I personnally love running so I used to have long runs (8-10 km) along the sea on the paved road that sorround all the coast; just follow the early birds runners and you will find the way to it!!! I have been travelling in Croatia since 2011 and I am honest by saying that the only place I would get back to it is definitely Rab island at the Imperial hotel.
