Room number 4 had an awful view of the car park and felt like you were in a goldfish bowl. If you closed the curtains the lighting was too dim to see anything. The floorboards above creaked all night until 3am then I could hear snoring and talking and toilet flushing as if I was in the same room with them! I had no sleep at all. Shouting started about 2am and to be honest I felt shaky and couldn’t sleep. I was alone so I found it intimidating. The shower tray wouldn’t drain away. The tv blocked the mirror. The bed squeaks everytime you move. The whole room is in need of a refurb, The location is quite good and the breakfast was nice. I’d never go back there again.

The view was great, and the hotel was generally clean and friendly , breakfast was great with a lovely selection I asked for a room on the floor level with the ebntrance and bar etc because of my mobility problems, but I was given one down stairs, the constant using the stairs in and outside was painful and wearing, lots more f guests were not good with mobility so I think at least one grab rail in the showers would be advisable, I felt quite unsteady

A splendid looking building. The room I was in was overlooking the parking area. It had a view unless a tall vehicle parked in the space in front of the windows. A comfortable room but noisy. There didn't seem to be much sound insulation between rooms. I could hear phone conversations, music and rowdy children being entertained. The room did smell a little - not sure what it was but it smelled a little unpleasant. After the first day I no longer noticed it. If I stayed there again I would ask for a different room and hope it was better. The onsite restaurant food was quite good. I enjoyed the daily included breakfast. A small set of choices, though.

Reasonable stay. Big, clean room, a little bit of a strange smell. Staff friendly. Disappointed that it cost to use the pool, did not see this on hotel details. Also stated that breakfast was included, but was quite prescriptive - 5 options and had to choose one. Would have preferred more flexibility. Lovely views. Room quiet and dark at night.

Great Service - Fab Location

Check in was quick and easy. Room was sooooo hot due to all glass fronted room which had been in direct sunlight all day with the curtains open. Asked for another room which was provided without fuss. 5 min walk (max) to beach & bars, harbour & marina about 10 mins away.

My room requires refurbishment and the car park is a bit difficult to park in when nearly full. Other than that the staff were good, friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is well placed for both scenic walks and walks into Torquay.
