"We had a text a couple of days before and were able to ask a couple of questions. We were welcomed by Vernon on arrival and shown around the hotel. Vernon was keen to show the girls the dancing and they had a long session the next morning. Breakfast was cereal and we had coffee and tea. The guest house is very clean and tidy and welcoming. Very relaxed atmosphere. We were able to park in site for the afternoon while we explored the area. The girls can’t wait to come again and dance and...

St Weonards Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. The best breakfast we have ever had. Highly recommended"

The Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely family friendly hotel. Only down sides upon arrival we were asked to pay a deposit per night for potential damages even though we had fully paid in advance of our stay. This wasn't mentioned when booking and we were told we couldn't check in until we made the payment. Hotel was noisy at night as we were on the second floor and had people above us, below us and all around. The fire doors in the corridors slam constantly through the night with people returning to their rooms at all hours. We had an adjoining door in our room which just had a bolt on it which went into someone else's hotel room which worried me when travelling alone with a young child and wasn't mentioned upon booking. We had noisy people in the next room with young children who kept trying to open the adjoining door. Unfortunately the indoor pool , changing rooms and spa facilities were unavailable during our stay due to refurbishment. They do not have enough sun loungers around the pool and people fill the ones available with towels to save them hours before they swim. breakfast was great with a good choice of pastries, cereal, fruit and hot food. My daughter loved the outdoor pool. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We loved it is a dog friendly hotel. In a great location right by the beach and a lovely park. We enjoyed the walk down the pier, shops and restaurants. There's a lovely library area in the hotel and we also had a safe inside the wardrobe in our room. We would stay again."

The Imperial Torquay

4/10 Poor

"We could not stay at This property . It was poor condition and the room we booked was not provided. It was hot , no ac and not even a fan was provided . The bed was shocking , The outdoor pool was closed and overgrown and mouldy . My wife has poor knees and could not have used the shower over bath. This hotel is a 2-3 star . We had staff revving motorcycles under our window and talked loudly."

Mercure Paignton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in the perfect location. Nicely decorated, room was fantastic with a huge bed. Bathroom flooded if we didn’t roll up towels, the shower screen was outside of the grating to catch the water!! Breakfast on the last day was disappointing, no muesli or yoghurt. I asked for both and was told they had none. Ten minutes later some guests were brought yoghurts?? I decided to have a pastry but they had all gone too. The car park spaces are really quite small but we did manage. Overall we would definitely stay again."
