Room was very clean and quiet we had a great view. Breakfast was fine and the restaurant areas were clean and pleasant. Hotel needs a lick of paint outside, and probably some money spent. But overall the Grand Torquay is a perfectly adequate hotel in a good location especially if arriving by train.

Nice grand hotel. Well maintained. Room does not have air conditioning, even though there was an air-conditioning panel which did not work. It was a hot British summer. The front desk staff was pretty curt about it. However, Rob, the night manager managed to sort out the issue somewhat by providing us with some fans which helped. He was so much better than the earlier front desk staff that handled the situation. Hats off to you Rob!
