    comfy bed
    small room
    nice location
    broken bunk slats
    bathroom door issue

    The room we had was small and not very nice. The bed was super comfy, but that was about it. My son had to sleep on the floor because the top bunk slats were broken, which was really unsafe. the bathroom door wouldn't close properly. For the price we paid, it just didn’t match up, especially with the extra £170 going up online after we booked. Not cool.

    great dining
    lack of cleanliness

    Had a great time with friends exploring the local area! We wandered through Jawbones and Undercliff, and visited a fantastic zoo which was a highlight for everyone. The rooms were comfy, and the dining options suited us well. Perfect for a group getaway!

    Our only downside was the lack of cleanliness in the common areas, which slightly took away from the experience.

    Excellent entertainment and friendly staff

    My partner and I had a fantastic stay in a new king room, which was lovely and warm, with plenty of space for a comfortable experience. The food options were great during meals, with a variety of choices at breakfast and dinner, making us look forward to dining. We especially enjoyed the live acts in the show bar, which added to our overall enjoyment of the stay. The only downside was some awkward layout in the hotel, but it didn’t detract too much from our experience.

    lack of cleanliness
    common areas

    I stayed here just for one night to explore the local area with a group of friends. The comfortable rooms made our stay enjoyable, and we really appreciated the nearby attractions like the beautiful gardens and the zoo. the lack of cleanliness in the common areas was noticeable and slightly detracted from our overall experience.

    crowded pool

    great location but minor issues with amenities

    The hotel features a generous parking area, easily accessible for families. The staff displayed impressive friendliness during our two-night stay.

    The pool area, while decent, could feel crowded if more guests were present.

    spacious room
    clean facilities
    excellent dining
    confusing corridors
    limited directions

    The room was spacious, tidy, and cozy, featuring new furnishings and a comfortable king-size bed with soft pillows. The shower was immaculately clean, and the large windows provided great views. The dinner buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, while the staff delivered excellent service, ensuring a positive dining experience.

    There was some difficulty with navigation around the hotel's layout.

    spacious shower

    Good for a quick stay

    Had a nice chat with the bar staff they were friendly and helpful too and that shower in the room was something else really spacious and plenty of hot water. Also loved the spacious show bar with entertaining performances every night that made the evenings lively.

    Wasn't exactly economical but it was acceptable for what we got.

    Couldn't recommend more for a mini-vacation

    Lovely room, lovely breakfast, and spacious clean accommodations made our stay enjoyable, with a great location just a 5-minute walk from the beach and friendly staff who ensured we had a comfortable experience throughout our visit.

    Everything was just right.

    great breakfast
    central location
    poor wifi

    great location but a few drawbacks

    The hotel's location is central, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The breakfast provided offers plenty of choices and excellent value for the price.

    There’s a noticeable hill to climb after a day out, which can be strenuous.

    It was just a suitable option for a short stay in Torquay with value for money. The entertainment was good and we enjoyed it. Make sure to check breakfast timings to avoid a rush.
