Bright airy feel to it with lovely large windows in the bedroom. Hot water for bath or shower. Nice to have both. Entrance lobby very tastefully presented. Dining area light and with space.

Very quiet location
Central location ideal for walking to most attractions. The hotel has recently changed hands and the new owner (May) was very friendly and welcoming.

Nice fridnly hotel in Torquay. Near the Seafront
My fiancé and I stayed at the Iona for a short holiday break in Torquay. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us & it was very rainy just a few days after the heat wave. However being positive the Hotel was really fantastic. Roy made us feel really welcome and was very helpful during our stay. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for our short break. The location is perfect being only a very short walk down to Torquay & seafront / Marina area. Would thoroughly recommend for anybody looking to stay in Torquay. Also there’s a lovely friendly family pet dog called Chip who was also very welcoming!

Great stay
7 nights holiday with my wife. Room was relaxing and bed was comfortable. Shower and bathroom was to a good standard. Breakfast was plentiful and was well presented. We enjoyed our breakfast and was a great start to our day. Off road parking and strong WiFi was the icing on the cake

The Iona is a lovely hotel the service was excellent as was breakfast. We stayed in room 6 which had a lovely balcony which we did use especially in the evenings. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again. The surrounding area is hilly so is probably not suitable for everyone.

Stayed for 2 night on business at the Hotel Iona. I had a lovely room which had a separate walk in dressing room. The breakfast was good but only served from 8.30-9.30am which is rushing a bit if you need to start work at 9.00am. Was great on my second morning when I had time to enjoy it.

short stay
My father & i were there for 3 nights,due to his breathing difficulties,he didn`t venture too far.I although found it pleasing to walk the short distances to wherever i wanted to go.Although there is no hotel bar,there are pubs and plenty of places in short walking distances.The staff were very attentive and easy to talk to for advice & needs. The room was cleaned & refreshed each day with a small fridge & fan supplied for the room.The shower & complimentary toiletries very welcoming at the end of a hot sticky day.

Thumbs up to the Iona
The iona hotel was very clean and comfortable we had a evening meal which was very nice as we were tired and couldn't be assed to go out and I started to feel the flu coming on. The bed was very comfortable bathroom was very clean and spacious ,2nd night we went to a French restaurant which was nice but all I could think about was getting back to the hotel and getting back in to bed,breakfast was nice selection of cereal and fruit and cooked options.

Ruhiges, trotzdem zentrumsnahes Haus
Freundlicher Empfang, wir hatten ein grosses freundliches Zimmer mit hohen Decken (1. OG) mit Balkon. Gutes Fruestueck mit schoener Auswahl an frisch zubereiteten warmen Gerichten. Parkmoeglichkeit im Hof. In 10 Min. ist man zu Fuss im Zentrum und bei den Restaurants und der Bay.

Gute Lage für Ausflüge in der Umgebung
Wir haben viele schöne Ausflüge gemacht und sehr viel in der Region kennengelernt. Clippengarten, andere Gärten, Kirchen und Klöster, Küste und Dartmoor. Nach Cornwell zu weit. - Wir haben ein zweites Hotel in St. Mawes für Cornwall angefahren. Problem - sehr enge Straßen, mit massiven Hecken und der Linksverkehr - das waren für uns aus Berlin echte Herausforderungen. Aber ansonsten ein toller interessanter Urlaub.
