    Only suggestion would be putting a bell in the reception area for when guests arrive to retrieve their room keys. Also the loo roll holder on the back of the bathroom door made the room hard to access.

    We booked our stay last minute after getting washed out of our tent in a storm! Nelson let us check in as soon as we had booked which was a huge blessing. The staff are all really really friendly and welcoming. We had a great few days stay and enjoyed the fab singer on the Sunday night in the bar

    Bathroom needs updating as the bath tub was too narrow, dangerous when stand up for shower, especially for elder people! There is a black mould on the wall inside the sides mirror wardrobe that’s needed attention.

    Less than 10 minutes walk to the harbour etc. suitable for overnight as booked in the last minute. My room was 65, family room outdated room but as long as it’s clean (except for the inside sided mirror wardrobe). Good size room for 4 people.

    Would never book again, just not worth the money, £30 per room it should have been.

    I didn’t like the rooms, they were dirty, the bathrooms were disgustingly dirty.. my son found a dead moth in his bed he was supposed to sleep in. The rooms were just not clean and for that amount of money I expected the rooms to be very clean and inviting but I just couldn’t wait to leave and have a shower elsewhere.

    I liked the entertainment rooms.

    When I book an hotel I like three things. Free parking, good wi-fi and a swimming pool. The wi-fi did not work in my room. When I went to leave in the morning my car was blocked in by coaches and there was no driver available to move one a fraction so I could get my car out.

    It was what I expected for the price. Basic clean room.

    All what you need for a break in Torquay. Spacious room just some minutes walk away from downtown. However, keep in mind that it's uphill when coming back. Very good breakfast. Outdoor pool and on-site private parking. Very helpful staff. Just 5min on foot from sailing club.

    Not anything that we didn't like but some areas looked slight worn such as carpets in heavily used area's but still clean.

    Staff greeted us with a smile and good humour. Very clean room. Excellent areas to relax. Nice sized bar area cheerful staff. Entertainment provided in the evening.

    Too many old people giving you dirty looks. I suppose they don't see many Asians where they live. Those facial expressions were either out of curiosity or just being instrincly racist. To be honest I felt telling a few of them to go back to where they come from. Just kidding.

    I was a little disappointed with the toast at the morning traditional English breakfast because there was only one piece of bread and it was too small. Also, the coffee could have been a little better. But the service was great and they even brought us soya milk at our request

    The very first positive impression was the receptionist at the front desk, because she was smiling and pleasing. The rooms are spacious, with high ceilings, which creates a feeling of comfort. And the most important thing for me was the cleanliness of the room, which was felt immediately after opening the door to the room. The smell of clean bed linen and towels was very pleasant. And also the comfortable beds, which were a lifesaver after our long journey.
