I think even the Queen would've been shocked!

I had the warmest of receptions when I checked in and the lounge was full of people having fun with a traditional game of bingo. The well-stocked bar was open and the place exemplified pride everywhere: clean, tidy and guest-centred! The room was wonderful, although the view was nothing spectacular, but exceptionallly clean and tidy and well provisioned. All was going very well until I chose to go to sleep. Alas, the couple in the adjacent room launched into a two-hour copulation session where there was no sound-proofing whatsoever. For the next two hours, I was subjected to animalistic noises and the metronomic beating of their bed on my ajoining wall. Not the fault of the hotel, but rather selfish behaviour from other guests when the walls are paper-thin.

Not Good

Checked in and was asked what time we’d like breakfast the following morning. We booked in for 9:30am only to be told when we arrived for breakfast that it finishes at 9:30. Thankfully the waiting staff were very understanding once we explained the lady on reception allowed us to booked this time slot. We felt that the lady on reception needed some more customer service training! Have to say, this will be the last time we’ll stay here.

Outdated , needs a make over

This hotel is aimed at people over 65. As a family in our late 40s with a teenager we were the youngest there. The room is very dated with peeling wallpaper and rotting skirting boards and some sign of black mould. It’s not clean and the shower plug was slow draining, the shower head holder was broken and water pressure awful. The room was so hot (outside was high 20s) that I honestly felt someone had the heating on, even with our windows open, the rest of the hotel felt cool but our room was like a sauna. We did ask if there were any fans, which there wasn’t. There is limited parking and we couldn’t use the hotel car park. My booking said beach view, which it wasn’t. Breakfast was mayhem with pensioners not being able to work toasters and food running out . At the 9am slot they’d already run out of bacon for the day . The ceiling tiles in the swimming pool room were missing lots, changing facilities poor, dirty plaster left on side of pool. Entertainment so loud you couldn’t hear yourself think in the bedroom, poor internet, tv didn’t work as bad signal. some parts of the communal area had carpet missing and Carpet lumpy . Only good thing was the location.

Breakfast is very restricted only to few options...from menu you must choose...order.....you cannot go yourself like a normal hotel when you pay for breakfast included, is fresh painted but you can see in the bathroom stain of mold on the sealing, mattress is old instead have a great staff, free parking ( first come-last come....you must search around 😅🙄 the property), pool ( maximum 10 person's aloud-1h ... pre booked ) , location is close to the beach, pub's, restaurants...is ok . I was but i will search another place next time . 10/10 for staff 👍. I give this review because I'm very disappointed regarding breakfast options 1/10 and mattress.

Offered room at front of hotel, very noisy with traffic. Moved to a room over the kitchens, even noisier. Someone throwing chips down for seagulls, after midnight. Delivery vans arriving before 6.00 am right outside my room. Talking and unloading. Cooked breakfast was very poor, breakfast not very warm, cold beans, burnt toast and very small helpings. Won't be staying again!!

We booked last minute as an impromptu trip and were very well accommodated from start to finish, staff were all amazing and the entertainment for our 2 nights was wonderful, our room was very clean and the facilities were good, we booked a swimming spot and the pool though not very big was good and the water was warm, we even had a good win on the bingo so great all round, if you’re looking for a place to stay in Paignton I can’t recommend enough, will definitely be back
