Top Torquay Hotel Reviews

The Imperial Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Out stay was great, staff were helpful, great location for the Princess Theatre and the breakfast was excellent with a lot of choices. The hotel is looking a bit tired and could with some updating, as an example our room has yellow aged switches and sockets but still a lovely place. We ate in the hotel for a late lunch the chicken ceasar burgers looked really goid but the crab and prawn linguine was lacking crab and the portion size was a little more than a starter but nevertheless was very tasty, overall a great stay."

TLH Derwent Hotel - TLH Leisure, Entertainment and Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"It was just a basic breakfast."

Hotel Indigo Torquay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay in a comfortable, clean hotel. Friendly staff and an excellent location on on the sea front made this a very nice stay. Restaurant was well attended and food was ok. Breakfast was available as continental and cooked and prices were reasonable. Personally I appreciated having onsite parking and EV charging facilities. I will return here again"

Belgrave Sands Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, staff were very friendly and approachable. Great location and plenty of parking."

The Headland Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Had a wonderful stay, hotel location great, staff very friendly and helpful, room clean, a good size and well equipped. These things can't be helped but the part of the spa was out of action (would have been good to know before hand) but it did not significantly disrupt our stay. Our room was not sea facing so there was some noise from delivery vehicles (essential supplies needed) in the mornings. Would stay again."

The Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was a good stay enjoyed seven nights train station outside the hotel bus stop over the road right on the coast would stay again"

The Trecarn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasantly surprised by the Trecarn Hotel. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to book an extra night. Our experience certainly didn’t reflect many of the ratings and reviews we had read. The location is amazing, our room was clean and exactly as advertised, and it had a modern TV. The hotel was quite hot for some reason, but fans were provided, which helped. The staff were lovely especially the chambermaids, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here. We’ve paid twice the price elsewhere and not had as good an experience."

Abbey Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel a little dated but very clean. The rooms were a little too warm. Great location"

Livermead Cliff Hotel
