Great location, very clean and well equipped
The property was great, no probs
San was very welcoming and only to happy to help in any way he could. The room was great. The breakfast was lovely and plenty of it. The location was great for the town/harbour and close to lots of eating places
There was only room for 4 cars and it was a little tight
Good location, friendly owners. The room was spotlessly clean.
Nothing
It was extremely cosy and clean!
The stairs!
Værtsparret skal have højeste karakterer for venlighed, imødekommenhed og hjælpsomhed. Dejligt værelse, øverste oppe, lige ud til Babbacombe Road, men alligevel var der stille og roligt på værelset, både i dagtimer og om aftenen. Hotellet ligger centralt, i gåafstand til det centrale Torquay, tæt på havnen og omgivet af gode spisesteder. Bus lige udenfor døren. Parkering ved hotellet, og endda hjælp til parkering, når man ikke lige kan svinge bilen ind på en lille parkeringsplads. God morgenmad.
Alt var fint.
The Hotel owner is the most polite and friendly host you could meet. He met you at the door and explained everything to you, took the time to make sure you new everything about the property and area.
The hills in Torquay, nothing about the property.
Love the location you only 5 minutes from bay harbour shops restaurants etc
Hill walking up wards to hotel
Had a lovely 3 night stay in this beautiful hotel. The hotel was spotlessly clean, the rooms bright and airy and the breakfast delicious. As we were celebrating our anniversary we were treated to a bottle of wine and card from the owners which was a lovely gesture. Thank you from Pete and Maggie
Good clean room,good location Friendly hosts

The hotel fitted our requirements perfectly. The hosts were excellent and very helpful. We chose to take breakfast, which was of excellent quality and value. We were very happy with the cleanliness and facilities provided. Overall we felt our stay was excellent value.
Only stayed for a couple of days but the whole experience was wonderful. The hosts were incredibly helpful and everything was perfect. Lovely room with a really comfortable bed. Everywhere was spotless. Didn’t have the breakfast but it looked delicious. Would definitely stay again when I’m next in Torquay.
Very close to the harbour and restaurants The people who run the hotel could not do enough for us helped us specially as we had my elderly father with me and made sure we where all ok all needs met
Nothing not to like all lovely
Me and my partner came for 5 days and straight away we got welcomed from our car and although we were early to check in we were aloud to check in which was lovely. Rooms are lovely and clean and the beds are very comfy. Breakfast was delicious specially the poached eggs! San and Sabi are lovely and very welcoming! Will definitely be coming back if we visit torquey again. 10/10.
I like the location, staff were lovely and welcoming. The hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable.
Hotel Peppers was truly an experience to remember. Couldn’t ask for a better location. The best Thai I’ve eaten at, just over the road. The host of Hotel peppers were just the sweetest most nicest genuine people you could ask for!! Will definitely be coming back to visit!
Excellent Location and very friendly Owners
Close to the waterfront easy walk for dinner and just to have a wander around town
Parking was a bit squeezy
Excellent stay at this Hotel. We were greeted by friendly face Mr Pepper who carried our bags to the room. Room was clean and comfortable. The bedding and pillows were wonderful. We didn’t stay for breakfast but other guests said it was excellent would recommend. The hosts were brilliant and informative nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay here again 😊
I liked the location being so close to the harbour and my room was very comfortable.
There wasn't anything I disliked about my stay only that I felt awkward at breakfast, being the only single person there with all couples and very quiet.
Excellent location next to restaurants and close to harbour and town.
Room was hot. Had to park car at Premier Inn.
The breakfasts Excelente. The room very clean. the room did what it had to.
The people how ran the hotel were excelente
Really lovely accommodation, everything you need! Owners were so friendly and helpful
Nothing, everything was great
The Service and atmosphere Excelente. The food Excelente. the room Excelente. San & Sabi offer great hospitality. at all times.
On arrival, San allowed us to check in 2 hours earlier than our advised 3pm arrival time, instantly sorted out on site parking, and even carried our cases inside. We were taken up to our room,which had a cabriolet balcony as per our booking. The room was spacious with good quality furnishings and decor. Everything worked as it should. Usually, I can find faults but this was honestly faultless. All the little things that matter worked as they should. For example, the plug in the sink held it's water, all the lights and bulbs worked, as did the TV remote. The bed was comfortable with adequate pillows. The shower had good power. All the advised facilities were provided like tea making, hairdryer etc. Breakfast was perfectly made to order each morning in a timely manner and was of great quality. Location was good and the hotel was clean and comfortable throughout. San and his family are genuinely hard working and freindly people who deserve to be successful in what they do. If we return to Torquay we will look no further than Hotel Peppers. Thank you for making us welcome and comfortable (Barry and Emma)
There was nothing not to like.
What a great stay , friendly all the way , immaculate Hotel, fantastic breakfast, great value , would definitely stay again
San and Sabi offer great hospitality, always make you feel welcome. The room we stayed in was perfect clean and fresh, the quality of food and drink was great especially the breakfast. Few minutes from the town, will definitely be back
Great location. Lovely hosts. Beautiful room
Frukosten var väldigt god.
Man hörde trafiken ganska väl.
Great location. Very central to everything. Lovely atmosphere when you walk in. The room was very very clean and had everything that you would need including fresh milk which is brilliant!! It was great value for money. The owners are extremely helpful and they make sure you are very comfortable. The hotel is immaculately clean. We will definitely be back and will recommend. 😊
Location to centre helpful staff good breakfast
They could have made more of the outside space with a few pretty flower pots to brighten it up a bit
Very friedl666 staff
Access from streets
Perfect location, delicious breakfast, the owners Sanjeev and Sabita were very friendly, kind and attentive.
Everytging was excellent.
Outside decking with comfortable furniture was added bonus, lovely to relax in the sun.
No disability access, steps up to front door incredibly steep.
San and his family are amazing hosts. I have never seen such a clean bathroom. Excellent breakfast Nothing is too much trouble
The owners are so friendly and helpful.The whole hotel is spotless,the breakfast was excellent and the hotel is just around the corner from the town.we had a great stay.Thank you 😊

Lovely hotel, owners couldn't do enough to make your stay a good one!
A few noisy residents arguing late at night
Very clean , lovely breakfast, close to town & buses
We found the road rather noisy
The room was beautiful. The family who run the hotel are friendly and helpful. Lots of nice touches like a bottle of water, real milk instead of UHT for your coffee or tea. If you want to bring food from a takeaway they provide cutlery etc in the dinning room. There are also two outside areas you can sit and relax in.
There isn't anything I didn't like.
A warm welcoming and clean, tidy rooms with plenty of space. Full facilities to use
Ideal location with a short walk to shops plus plenty of parking.
So very disappointed. My wife and I were so looking forward to our visit to Torquay, and it was spoilt by the behaviour of our host. It started with what must just have been and error with the description of our accommodation. We thought we had booked a "Standard Double Room", which was how it was written in the confirmation email. However when we arrived we were assigned a room which was called "Standard Double Room Compact". This room very small and cramped with little room for luggage. This is not what we were expecting and did not match what was on the confirmation email. We did try to get the room changed but there was nothing available for the length of our stay. We wanted to leave it there and just enjoy our stay as much as possible. Unfortunately, our host did not want to leave it there, he kept on at us, over and over again and again. He kept trying to get us to admit to being at fault. He was rude and aggressive. We even asked, many times, can we just leave it there, but he did not seem able to and just wanted to argue. If it was not for his behaviour, we would have given a better review. So many other things I could mention about what he said and did but I just want to forget about him and his aggressive behaviour.
I stayed here for my birthday staycation in Torquay, and I honestly could not be happier with my experience so far. From the moment I arrived, the hosts Sanjeev & Sabita were absolutely amazing. They were warm, friendly, polite, and incredibly helpful, and they genuinely make you feel welcome. The room was exactly as shown in the pictures, spotless, comfortable, and beautifully presented. It’s always a relief when a place looks just as good in real life as it does online, and this exceeded my expectations. What truly made my stay special was the kindness shown to me on my birthday. After coming back from the beach in the morning, I walked into my room to find birthday balloons and a lovely birthday card waiting for me on the bed. It was such a thoughtful surprise and honestly made my day. Small gestures like that mean so much and show how much the hosts genuinely care about their guests. I enjoyed my stay and left with wonderful memories. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Torquay.
Perfect location to reach harbour, city center and get buses to nearby towns. The rooms were clean and the owners were very helpful and friendly! They had thought of providing things like, bottled water, a fan, perfect in this hot weather and lovely hot breakfast in morning. Only stayed one night this time but will definitely return again for longer stay.
Lovely family running the hotel . Very friendly and accommodating
Lack of car parking spaces
Amazing facility and hotel . Hotel owner (family business) are amazing and very warm welcoming. They think everything to make sure stay comfortable . Highly recommended!

Staff were great, fantastic location. Spotlessly clean. Nice touches like chocolates, bottled water and biscuits.
The shower was a pain. You had to keep your finger on the button to keep water flowing.
Perfect location walking distance to the harbour, quiet, host were lovely,breakfast delicious..would highly recommend.
Onsite parking was limited and for our stay offsite. Whilst not a major issue, it would have been better to have known prior to arrival.
Spotless hotel, exceptional breakfast, comfy bed,great location and Sanjeev & Sabita were the perfect hosts.
A beautiful little hotel in an excellent location close to the waterfront. Everything was perfect!
Owners were so lovely nothing was to much trouble . Room the cleanest hotel we have stayed in ,has 5 stars from us would stay there again .
Nothing to dislike perfect for us
Everything, newly updated apartment great hosts always seeking to do there best.
Excellent breakfast
Parking was difficult . Bar did not open so no communal area to sit .
Quiet, comfortable, staff friendly

Sanjeev and Sabita were excellent hosts. Rooms were spotless. Very comfy bed. Amazing shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked, plenty of choice and very tasty. Brilliant location. Close to shops, restaurants and the seafront. Bus stops right outside the hotel. Great sandwich shop at the bottom of the hill.
From a personal point of view the access was difficult this was due to a low handrail at the front and very steep hill at the back
Large room, comfortable bed, great wi-fi and coffee and tea maker
Parking was a little difficult
Location is perfect. Owners are welcoming and friendly. Room spotlessly clean and comfortable.
Nothing
Owners of the hotel were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. My mum was travelling on her own and they made her feel safe and welcome. Breakfast was superb. Room was spotlessly clean. Location couldn’t be better, easy walk into town and brilliant bus network to get to other seaside locations.
Parking was very tight, but at least there was parking as so many seaside hotels don’t, and there was an option to have a permit for a nearby carpark.
Rymligt och mycket välstädat rum. Toalett och dusch var skinande rent. Bra frukost med färsk frukt och det varma serverat vid bordet. Värdparet var mycket trevliga och hjälpsamma. Nära till hamnområdet med alla restauranger.
We were met by the friendly owner on arrival who helped guide our car into the parking space at the back of the hotel. Our room was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. We had complementary biscuits and bottled water on arrival which was a nice touch. The breakfast was delicious which you order the night before. The hotel is in a convenient location with easy walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants. Overall we were very happy staying at Hotel Peppers and would definitely recommend it.
Very friendly hosts , very clean , great breakfast , vey Comfy bed and just over all great here , nothing was to much trouble made to feel very welcome , will be back thank you for such a good stay ( Lynette & Daron )

This is a lovely hotel, just a short stroll from the harbour, and close to pubs, shops and restaurants. The hosts are friendly and care about the customer experience. The hotel has nice professional touches not usually seen in small hotels - such as personalised napkins and engraved tabletops. The hotel is nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. Breakfast choice is great and cooked to a high standard. We stayed 3 nights and can definitely recommend it.
We didn't find anything to dislike about this hotel. It is great.
It was very central the rooms were lovely and clean bed was very comfortable lovely breakfast lovely owners all in all great wee hotel.
Nothing
Very clean and comfortable room and staff were lovely. Great location (we were at a 3 day event at the Torquay area which is just down the road) would definitely stay again.
Staff were friendly, location was ideal, close to the town
Bathroom was very small
Dry close to town, amazing breakfast, the host couldn’t do enough for you. Very clean.
Rooms smaller than expected but after all it was a B&B
Breakfast was 10 out of 10, host's were very attentive room was spacious the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in, would definitely recommend and will stay again 100%
There was nothing there to dislike
They were very helpful and nothing was any trouble
There was nothing I didn't like
Lovely hotel owners who couldn’t do enough for us - even helped with the tricky parking! Cooked breakfast was amazing! Room was clean and comfortable as was the rest of the hotel. We stayed 3 nights and I would definitely recommend Peppers for a quiet break away. Thank you
Staff friendly Room clean Handy location for the harbour WiFi
Parking, whilst there was parking, it was extremely difficult to park. It's much better to use the large public car park at rear, although steep steps. Signs - very off-putting when there are signs advising extra charges for everything Very small bathroom - sink very close to toilet Discrepancies between booking.com and hotel website (which we only checked when there) Booking.com states its adults only whilst the website says children over 10 allowed? Advised prior to arrival, breakfast was £10 per head, but on arrival, told it was £15? Not shown public lounge/bar. The public areas (from main doors to room) sadly smelt of curry...love curry, but you shouldn't be able to smell it.
The staff were very friendly and kind. A very warm welcome. And it's a very good location. Beds are lovely and rooms of a generous size.
The room was too hot. Although beds are very comfortable. Struggled to get comfortable with the heat, parking is very limited
I'm lost for words. Sanjeev & Sabita originally from Nepal have been here 5yrs. They are the most perfect people to run a hotel. The greeting was warm and seemed personal. The room was immaculately prepared and spotless. The breakfast was a 10/10 and the personal touch was lovely, see atth pic. I 100% recommend this hotel
Well situated for town A warm welcome from the hosts Rooms well maintained and spotless Very reasonable prices
We had the compacted room. So cosy and clean. Such a polite couple who run the hotel. Excellent stay. When we come back we won't stay anywhere else but here. 10 stars
We liked everything
Excellent hotel, ideal position, close to the town and marina. Very clean and helpful staff. Would definitely stay again
Very freindly couple nothing too much trouble very clean great breakfast Hotel at its best Dave & Ali
Breakfast was lovely
Car park is a bit tight but host sorted for us
