Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Breakfast choice was good. Room with view was large with sofa and table and chairs.
It is an older hotel and lots of steps and no lift is an issue. However it has much more character than the Premier Inn next door
The location was excellent for our needs. All the staff were friendly.
The noise every morning at 6a.m. from the ceiling fan in the bar below. Although the owner took on board our complaint and dealt with it to our satisfaction, apologising profusely
Room was lovely and i could see the sea from the window. The breakfast lovely there was a good choice. location was great.
not a thing
Lovely location staff were great Lovely room but my hubby is big so the bed felt small and the shower was small. Other than that a great stay and would return.
Small bed and shower
Our room was ready on arrival and kept clean with regular bed changes and clean towels .this hotel is in a great location with our room having a sea view
Steps up to reception from car park .we had to walk through the bar to get to our rooms ,staff not over friendly no fridge in the room which was in need of a refurbishment and bathroom was tired and worn looking . Breakfast was not great .no fruit or yogurts and cheap fruit juice This hotel was definitely not worth what we paid for our stay
Staff great, location very good
Very tired in need of a refurb i. Pub and reception area spacious but in need of an upgrade. Breakfast was ok although cooked breakfast was not brilliant
Massive room with a comfortable bed, nice breakfast, friendly staff and a great location.
Would have liked a mini fridge.
Lovely place to stay staff friendly
Nothing
Car parking is terrible. People were having to double park and I've had my car scratched.
It was located near to the sea front and harbour side which was what we wanted All the staff were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful The room was spacious with nice sea views
We don’t have a car so we found the steep walk up from the sea to the hotel very difficult. We didn’t know it was on a hill - not everyone has a car. Our room was right above the bar and the outside terrace so was very noisy every evening with the loud music thumping. In the bar it was so loud at times that people were literally shouting at each other to be heard.
Location .. lovely veiws of the bay its only saving grace
Rooms dirty Windows covered in greasy finger prints same with the glass table Empty beer bottle under the settee Pillows rock hard which made it hard to get a good night sleep Staff not friendly almost to much effort to say hello when I left no one asked how my stay was no goodbye saying that there were no staff around. Very disappointed I have stayed here in the past and never had a issue was so looking forward to going after telling my sister what a great place this was Will not be returning
Staff helpful and courteous Good facilities and location Comfortable rooms
Very hot room With 2 x fans continuously never temp below 30 Unable to move rooms as busy time
The location was spot on the games room was good the staff were friendly
Our room23a was directly under the restaurant at 0630 we were woken by the sound of tables being dragged across the floor . And in the afternoon and evening the sound of the bass on the music were thumping .finally the bar closed at 8.30pm on the sunday
The room was normal size double bed and one single bed. nice view of the sea. , I was in the basement their was a door that led outside which was very handy.you didn’t have to go upstairs every time you needed to exit the building. The breakfast was standard full English nice portion. The location was great its opposite the sea, and not far from the town, places to eat and drink supermarkets are about 25 minutes walk depending on how quickly you walk I was not in a rush.
No clothes shops around. Or I did not see any.
Location was excellent. Seaview from some of the rooms (including the one I stayed in), the conservatory and outside terrace also. Short walk to the beach and not too far to walk to the marina area.
The bar "Applebys" is essentially a pub and therefore always very busy and noisey. There was a function every day of the 3 days of my stay including an 8 hour ibiza dj stint on the terrace.
Ideal location for the theatre. Great views. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. What's not to like?
Staff lovely
Noisy pub
Room was a good size.
On approaching the hotel we were bombarded with loud music (a special Ibiza event) . We were not advised in advance. We were walking the south west coast path and chosen this day to only do a half day walk to relax and recuperate in the hotel. We could not even relax in our room due to the loud music, which even after the event ended on the terrace , music continued inside. We felt forced to leave the hotel room and find somewhere quieter to relax.
Great location great breakfast friendly staff
My room was awful one right on car park no privacy v noisy and hot and smelt of chlorine
Great place to stay with great sized rooms, comfortable beds and friendly staff. Next door to a bar but we didn’t hear a peep. Breakfast options a plenty and always fresh and tasty - recommended
A fan for the room in the heat but otherwise all good
Lovely atmosphere, staff and area. Exceptionally clean well organised.
It's not a case of not like its just the place could do with modernising.
Es war sehr laut, da das Hotel ein englisches Pub beherbergt. Frühstück gab es im Pub und ab da lief laut Musik, welche bis auf die Zimmer zu hören waren.
Am Wochenende wurde es unerträglich laut.
Friendly staff and very welcoming Excellent Location Room spacious and very comfortable Breakfast amazing Sea view All round amazing holiday
Limited parking on arrival due to an event at the hotel
Brilliant location , nice staff, good breakfast , beautiful views , large rooms!
Very hot room , needs fan, fridge, I did not like wardrobe . Bed not very comfortable.Table needed cleaning. Sofa uncomfortable.
It felt homely
La vue
Hôtel en bout de course. Des rénovations s imposent. En fait c est un pub très animé avec un hôtel en plus.
Great location in Torquay and the hotel had all the facilities you needed Had a great sea view and the breakfast was just perfect.
Nothing
Clean and friendly close to Torquay with great views
Like everything about the hotel
The location was perfect. Everything was nearby.
The staff was very friendly and very helpful.
We had an apartment which we didn’t expect, it was lovely with 3 big rooms
The pillows were rock hard we both woke up with stiff necks, breakfast was ok but you had to wait around for things to be filled up. My husband asked for an extra egg and they wanted to charge him £1 for it, he gave up his revolting slimy mushrooms for it, the next morning he asked for an extra egg and had to forgo 2 items! I told him to buy an egg and give it to them to which he replied they would most probably charge him £1 to cook it! We have been spoilt by trips abroad where nothing was too much trouble, here everything felt like it was to much trouble
Great views, good location, big rooms, friendly staff, swimming pool, bar, reasonable priced
Wasn't aware we had to order breakfast at the bar
Terrace live music breakfast
The breakfast was nice
Didn't like the fact we asked for bath and even phoned direct and was told our room had a bath and would mark it as do not change and was not also didn't like a rave disco under my window blasting at 5pm in the afternoon
The staff were exceptional , very friendly lovely people and always there to help and very informative , location was just right , the room was a good size and breakfast was nice but with limited choice .
Even though the room was good with an excellent view of the sea , the cleanliness was poor , and the maintenance was poor , i will add some pictures of this . The bed was very hard , no room phone available ,could do with an update and refurbishment to make it an outstanding place to stay .
The hotel was great the bed was comfortable the shower was a bit of a nightmare to get it to the right temperature but nice when you did and the breakfast was lovely
Loved the hotel it was just the hill up to it being asthmatic it was a hard walk especially in the heat but can't fault the hotel otherwise
Lovely location and easy access to town and restaurants.
The room was spacious, comfortable, and full of character, with a lovely view overlooking the sea. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.
Good location, friendly helpful staff. Nice breakfast.
Very noisy, squeaky floor boards, some sort of extractor fan sound loud all the time even over night. Not the cleanest, stains on towels and bedding
Great staff, good food
Travelling via train,!the hotel was in great location of the beach amenities and extremely large. Breakfast nice to be able to grab what you wanted .
The breakfast is excellent value. Very nice. The location is fantastic
I think the bathroom in the room i was in needs updating but functional and won't stop me booking again
The location and on site car parking.
The staff were too busy to provide any personal attention. No one spoke to me between check in and check out. Room cleaning was rushed and superficial. Breakfast was basic. More like a transport cafe than a hotel.
Friendly staff good place to say not far from the seafront
Had to bring my own fan and would be better with a fridge in the room
Location is beautiful.
No air-conditioning or fan in the room. Baking hot temperatures in the room.
Friendly hotel nice views
As we both have mobility problems there were too many stairs. A difficult flight from the car park to reception. Fortunately a very kind man carried our cases up for us. If we had gone to the front of the hotel we would have had to walk up a fairly steep incline.
Location Staff Management Breakfast
Didn't dislike anything.
Locatie
Pub in het hotel. ‘S Avonds soms heel luide muziek! Gelukkig stopt alles om 23u. Het ontbijt wordt in de pub geserveerd. ‘s Morgens voelde de vloer nog plakkerig aan…
Lovely welcoming very friendly staff always available and hard working Lovely bar Breakfast perfect cooked lovely tasted great sets you up for the day room was huge and perfect for me parking space was great room was very clean and very comfortable Hotel was in a beautiful perfect location short distance to beach and amenities I had some wonderful walks right on your doorstep Highly recommend was very relaxing just what I needed will definitely be booking again
Everything was great I could not fault this hotel
Like a sauna no fans in room no dinner menu ( we not advised of this) we only stayed 10 minutes it was awful
Excellent location if you’re heading to The Princess Theatre. A couple of minutes walk away.
My room, No 11, was very spacious, with a fabulous sea view, plenty of storage and a little table & chairs. A good size shower, heated towel rail and a toiletries cabinet with additional lights around the edges. There was a good selection on the breakfast menu + help yourself to cereal, toast, fresh coffee and a variety of teas.
I was only booked in for one night and was informed on arrival that the restaurant was closed that evening, however I wasn't informed that the bar would also close at 9:30, had I known, I could have stayed in town a little while longer. However, after voicing my disappointment, we were allowed to purchase one drink, which had to be consumed on the terrace or in my room. I feel that the management really should ensure there is more than the one member of staff on duty !!
Staff were lovely
Cleanliness, pool usage times. No chef , consequently no evening meals
Excellent location with brilliant views
On checking in, we were informed that the chef was on holiday and they would not be selling any food in the evening. The bar also shuts up early. One night, 10 pm, another: night 10:30pm. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. They were short in length, and mattress was.soft and sagged in the middle. The pillows were so thin they were hardly worth bothering with. Everything about the room and bathroom was tired. The hotel could make so much more of its facilities and location.
Dominic and others were so friendly and accommodating and helped us feel In place. We loved the experience…
Very hot and there was no fans to keep us cool …
the breakfast was the best I've had at any hotel I've ever stayed in will be staying again
nothing to say bad about it
Good location. Spacious clean rooms Amazing staff..beautiful views out across the bay. Easy walk to central location and beach
Nothing
Good location clean nice bar and beer garden
Nothing
Gorgeous views over Torquay and walking distance to the harbour. Room was basic but had all amenities needed. Breakfast was nice
There is a bar attached to the hotel that is open to the public. This didn’t bother us as was a nice bar, however they had an Ibiza rave day on the Saturday and the place was very busy with loud music. If they are holding one of these events on your stay I do think you should be informed when booking. Due to the event the car park was full, even though booking.com stated one parking spot included, when we asked we were told this was a mistake and shouldn’t have been on the booking. Was told to park in the car park next door, this was also full and took a while to get a space. This cost £11 for 24 hours, so be warned if bring a car. If car park is full you have to pay to park next door.
Sea View
Noise from bar
The views from our hotel room were excellent.
The fact that it advertised a pool but didn't state when we booked that you could only use it at certain times of the day.
Great view
the ibiza vibes
the length of time it too to get served at the bar, they needed more staff. decor abd bedroom furniture is dated.
Location
Rooms 24 or 25 over hot and not private v noisy this my 3 rd visit but have been put off by this room may look else where next time all previous visits were v good
Lovely little spot with nice views and easy access to everywhere.
Had to wait a little while for breakfast refills but this was due to a lot of guests turning up the same time. Not a problem though.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was a good size, clean and comfortable with a nice view of the bay. The ensuite shower room was small but the shower worked well. There was a good choice at breakfast, the hot option was cooked to order and the full English was very nice. The location is very close to the seafront and a short walk to the theatre.
The bedroom and ensuite, although clean, needed updating. No sound proofing meant I could hear the people in the room above walking around. It was very loud especially in the middle of the night and early morning. There are quite a few steps to go up to get into the hotel.
Location and views
Poorly fitting room doors making them noisy when closed banging from other rooms till early hours
Excellent Everything you would expect was provided
Music too loud
Staff was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful with any questions I had. The room was clean, spacious, and had a great view of the sea...and the breakfast was outstanding. Will definitely continue to book this charming hotel everytime I plan on visiting Torquay. Great experience, and will continue to recommend. A+
Ottima posizione, lo staff gentilissimo alla reception, colazione molto buona, piscina carina, parcheggio gratuito, colazione senza glutine
La camera era posizionata sopra il Pub quindi un po di rumore di sera ma non eccessivo
The room was exceptional - bigger than I expected, perfectly clean and so good I booked a second night and will be looking to stay there again as soon as I can. When I asked if I could book another night it was fully accommodated and the price matched to the night I pre-booked. Exceptional. The view and also the breakfast was simply amazing too!
Nothing comes to mind
Lovely spacious rooms, great location, close to beach, shops and pubs, great views from outside space and terrace, reasonable priced drinks and good selection, staff were friendly, rooms were ready before expected, booked 5 rooms for a party of 7 people.
limited breakfast, wasn't aware had to order at the bar.
Staff were great, breakfast was decent, pizza in pub was cracking
Just a bit tired
The view from our room and breakfast were excellent, and location in general. We got the train to Torquay so it was brilliant in that sense. We had breakfast as well and that was really tasty (we stayed in the Balmoral Suite).
Maybe some of the furnishings were a bit outdated but it was not the end of the world when you consider the whole stay.
The staff were all so nice and friendly really impressed!
The rooms are maybe a little dated but clean and they had all you need for a stay, shower, Tv and kettle and sea view.
The location. Room was OK and food was good.
The fact that it was a glorified pub and there were functions on both Friday and Saturday night which were very noisy till midnight then volume was reduces a little when we were in our room. On the Saturday evening we wanted to eat and were told the dining area was closed. We had to insist on sitting at a table (the function had not even started) we were done and left before any function guests had arrived. This needs down grading from a hotel to an inn as its very misleading. Wouldn't book again
Very friendly staff, very good value for money.
Room was basic - a bit warm and musty - and the functions were noisy. The breakfast was not too special but plentiful
The location with great views. Very clean and staff very helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking spaces.
Nothing
Breakfast was very good
Nothing
The hotel was grubby and dirty
Good breakfast, included in the price.
The room was very warm.....a fan would.have been useful.
The location
The hotel is very dated and basic
The staff are really friendly and helpful.The hotel is right by the seafront and I had a sea view from my room.
The room was above expectations, clean with plenty of storage and a comfortable bed which could do with being bigger. The breakfast was really very good size with a good selection served by friendly staff. The location of the hotel was perfect literally opposite all the restaurants and the beach.
The description of the hotel needs to be amended on booking.com as the pool was only available to guests for 2 hours in the morning,(when breakfast was served and the 2 hours in the evening when guests are out eating their evening meals) and at a cost of £5 per session!! I have never had to pay to use a hotel pool in all the years I have holidayed in the UK or abroad!!! The main function of the pool is allocated to local children's swimming lessons which due to parents parking in the very limited hotel car park creates another cost to guests who may have used their vehicle to see more of Torquay only to find upon their return to the hotel that there are no parking spaces available and as a consequence they have to pay to park in the long stay car park next to the hotel!!
I didn't stay due to feeling unsafe in the room I was allocated as a single female traveller
The ground floor room overlooked the bind at the back of the hotel. There was an alley outside the windows which couldn't be opened as the tilt function was broken on one if them and when open could easily be accessed by a person from the outside. No priva y netting or blinds so not private when curtains are open.
Location good , car parking, facilities . Breakfast fairly good . Staff friendly, helpful wanting to please. Bed comfortable
Room.22. My own fan and hotels fan but room.was stifling. Never went below 30 c! I think i was just unlucky
Friendly staff comfortable bed and clean room. Breakfast very good. Would recommend
Staff friendly food good
Room was in a good location ground floor as disabled, there was a sardine sandwich and cordial left in the drawers, top of bed 1 inch full of dust. The room was boiling hot facing the sun all day with glass windows, couldnt sleep at all suffocating.
Comfortable stay
Location was really good.
Very hot rooms (no fan in room). Very dated. Had a wedding there in evening with dj which we didn't know till we arrived.
Our 2nd visit & again the staff were excellent. Good views & great location even though there's a slight hill to walk up.
Due to no fan in the room we didn't sleep well at all..My wife slept on the floor a few nights to try & cool down. It's a lovely hotel but these rooms need a fan especially in high temperatures. ..We felt it was cooler outside at times.
All the staff very help full plus need extend my stay they very help sort it out so stay there again
Everything
Nothing
The location was perfect and the staff were very helpful. Rooms are lovely and clean. Food was excellent.
Das Frühstück war wirklich gut.
In unserem Zimmer konnte man das Fenster nicht komplett aufmachen, sondern nur kippen. Daher wurde es auch nachts nicht richtig kühler.
Comfortable bed, good quality bedding, choice of tea, coffee and biscuits in the room.
One of the bedroom windows wouldn’t shut so couldn’t lesson noise of traffic which was ok especially this time of year but might be chilly in the winter. My bedroom was on the ground floor overlooking the car park on one side and bins with walkway on the side so privacy could be an issue, maybe net curtains would help rather than having to close the main curtains to get undressed etc! Breakfast was ok but a little limited compared to other hotels I’ve stayed at. Really didn’t like large plastic jugs for milk, water and juice but I guess is practical
My room was amazing, overlooking the sea and windows that opened wide. Breakfast was individually cooked, delicious
The one foenfall was the pillows, bit too hard for me. Would be nice to have a choice
Ontbijt
