8/10 Very good

Room was very clean and quiet we had a great view. Breakfast was fine and the restaurant areas were clean and pleasant. Hotel needs a lick of paint outside, and probably some money spent. But overall the Grand Torquay is a perfectly adequate hotel in a good location especially if arriving by train.

Carole, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay overall

Overall very clean but ventilator in bathroom has not been cleaned for a while. Also areas around lampshades/bulbs not routinely cleaned. Breakfast and dinner options are excellent. Room comfort was excellent as well. Hotel location - excellent. Limited car parking space. It would be great if reception staff can offer advice around alternative parking options or more information provided when booking.

Hot hot hot

The hotel had no A/C and our room was on the top floor, the window could only open and inch so ne ventilation. It became so unbearable we had to leave the hotel at 3am and get a taxi home. All the rooms were full so no alternative apart from a fan could be offered
