"Nice property in a great location. The beech and pubs are only a few minutes walk away. Needs a bit of TLC, one kitchen cupboard has come away from its adjacent unit, freezer drawers broken handles and both bathroom hand towel and toilet roll holders are loose. The kitchen could be better equipped, e.g. needs some digital scales, some bowels better for cereal, new saucepans and a sieve. Only one fan was provided, in a heatwave this wasn't enough - I did contact the letting agency, but had no...

Top Paignton Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed 3 nights from 8th October. We enjoyed our stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely. The hotel is a very old hotel so obviously there are always going to be parts that need updating but overall its a Grand Hotel."

Beach Hotel Torbay

10/10 Excellent

"Beach Hotel Torbay was spotlessly clean throughout. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The hotel is in a great location, directly opposite the sea front and within a few minutes walking distance to the town centre, railway and bus stations. I would recommend a stay here."

The Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place second visit to this hotel great as always many thanks"

10/10 Excellent

Allocated parking directly outside. A handy position for walks. A local bus service outside. Checking in and out very easy. Contact with Emma by Whatsapp very easy. 10 out of 10 in all respects."

Rowcroft Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly hosts, and an excellent location close to the station but also close to the sea. Very quiet."

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and going bk next month.. The pool is great"

Easton Court

8/10 Good

"We had a biggish room with a huge bed. Very helpful armchairs and a settee. Bathroom was small but adequate with a roomy shower which was very easy to use. Breakfast menu was very varied and choices were very well cooked. The continental breakfast had a lovely choice with various cereals and fruit and yoghurts. The only problem for us was the parking. The property has 3 parking places so first come first served. As I am disabled the road is uphill and we had to park quite a way uphill which would have been very difficult for me but my husband would drop me off and then get the car when we went out. Other than that a very value for money B & B"
