Very outdated. Not very clean. Definitely needs some work doing to whole hotel. It’s very much a hotel populated by the elderly. Entertainment every night we were there which was nice. Breakfast was poor. Staff were lovely.

Will not be returning!
The only good thing about this hotel was the location right on the sea front which was close to an event we were attending and the reason we chose this. Everything other than that, was poor. The hotel is dated, but more than that, is grubby and tired. The floors are uneven, the carpets are covered in stains, there is an overall musty smell in the corridors and rooms and the bed was awful! The mattress was a few inches lower on one side than the other. With no springs left in one side. We were on 4th floor and there is no air con or ventilation in the rooms. The window only opens slightly and is covered in mould. The temperature in the room was horrific. A small fan was provided but was in poor condition so rattled all night long but it was a choice between this and melting! Seeing as we weren’t getting any sleep on the old mattress anyway, we chose the rattle of the fan! The staff weren’t too bothered in general. Our welcome at check in was “oh you can’t stay here with tattoos on your arms! Haha only joking” followed by …. “Room 421. Breakfast until 9:30. Enjoy!” Overall not the best experience at all.

Lovely hotel. Great location
Hotel is lovely, Staff are friendly and location was great, a bit disappointing that the car park is at a local Ncp discounted at £6 was not available even though we arrived early. We had to pay full price for an overnight stay at £10 to local ncp but not bad for 24hrs.. will be happy to stay again at hotel if rates are reasonable, Torquay is a great night without city prices
