A great place to stay in Torquay. Across the road from the beach and a short walk into town. Nice room and really good food in the restaurant, the breakfast is also very nice.
The staff were friendly and offered us a free upgrade to a sea-facing room. The sea-facing rooms in this hotel are amazing. The location makes it exceptional.
The room was great, always is, very clean, has everything you need. Good view, staff are always very helpful. The staff in the bar and restaurant are brilliant 😁
Room was perfectly clean and staff were polite and friendly

Lovely hotel and so handy for the station opposite. I had a nice quiet room and I was delighted to have a bath as well as a shower. The decor was slightly dated but none the worse for that and I had everything I needed including plenty of storage space and a comfortable bed.. The staff were very pleasant and helpful
Lovely hotel all decorated for the festive period. Staff were lovely and the room was so big with a lovely sea view. We come to stay every December and will definitely be back next year.

The room, and general upkeep was top notch. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Smallest issue: The shower was not great. The water pressure was not ideal.

Clean room. Mattress not great very springy and going in all directions and had to ask for a duvet the second night to lie on to get some sleep. This was disappointing
Bar good. Booked for dinner but service was sadly lacking, food ok. Outside balcony good to sit outside and staff table service was good
Spectacular view from the room and may visit again

As old Victorian or Edwardian seaside hotels go it was in good condition , quite modern decor if not a little gaudy. Staff helpful and friendly . Breakfast a little limited but Ok. Parking onsite but limited.

The place feels a bit shabby in parts, especially the swimming pool area, but the staff are awesome and the sea view rooms are worth the upgrade. The place is ideal if you're arriving by train as it's right next door!
