Hotel is bang in the middle of Tavira. The owners and so welcoming and helpful. Breakfasts are excellent with even hot pancakes and fresh fruit. The hotel has an old fashioned appeal and is the perfect antidote to super-modern souless 'pile em highs'. Tavira and Isla de Tavira are a world away from the Algarve of English breakfasts and those... More

Much like most of the other reviewers said, it's a cute old building right by the river with lovely family owners. Rooms are very clean and good value. We didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. A good choice in Tavira.

Decoration: I was very charming, the room was decorated with taste. Bathroom: small but enough. very clean. Service: owners were very very charming and sweet. Sleeping: The matress needed a change and the worst thing of all was that was very difficult to sleep due to the fact that street conversation could be heard from the room. being in the... More

Residencial Imperial is the best place to stay in the Algarve, period. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean, the air conditioning works great, and the place is run by a lovely couple who are friendly and incredibly sweet. Great quality beds, super quiet - we had a great night's sleep. The location doesn't get any better - it's steps... More

Residencial Imperial is, in my opinion, what Tavira is all about - tranquility, friendliness and character. It is lovely family-run bed and breakfast, very clean and nicely decorated with traditional and modern touches. The owners are very friendly and helpful and always greet you with a smile, making everyone feel welcome. I was there recently with my mum and husband... More

We managed to get the last room available The rooms were very clean except the tiles in the shower, where the grouting was a bit gubby. The staff were very friendly & helpful, the... More

Very good location on the main street in front of the river and Roman bridge, near Praça da República (free Wifi zone), this accommodation is family-managed and we loved it for the details: fresh orange juice welcome drink, an immaculate and bright room decorated with colour touches, and the best courtesy shower gel of the trip, made with olive oil....

We found this place via the tourist office (they weren't very helpful, but luckily we made the right choice to stop in and check out the Residencial Imperial). It met our criteria for price, location, twin room, private bath, breakfast included. In addition to that though they were so wonderful and helpful. Greeted us with orange juice, loaned us a... More

I've stayed here once in the 1980s and again twice in recent times, the latest visit my first foreign holiday with my teenage daughters and it only gets better and better. The place is spotlessly clean and very well maintained thanks to the constant attention of its family owners. Another charming feature is the trapezoidal footprint of nearly all the... More
