“The Grand Hotel in Torquay certainly earns points for its seaside location and incredibly kind staff, especially the team at reception and Felix at the 1881 Restaurant. I note the availability of both indoor and outdoor pools, plus the hotel's dog-friendly policy, making it suitable for different travel styles. The hotel's parking situation could pose challenges; however, its charm and dedicated service are likely why many guests, like myself, would consider returning.”

Detailed Review of a Coastal Stay
quality furniturenice decorationfriendly staffspacious dining room
The room featured quality furniture and nice decorations. Breakfast was good, with a satisfying variety of options. Staff members were accommodating and friendly. Parking was easy, I found a spot quickly. The hotel offered pleasant views of the harbor. The location allowed convenient walks to the theatre along the waterfront. I was able to arrange for an infrared massage . The dining room was spacious.
The corridors upstairs are decorated in a gawdy colour scheme. Worn and stained carpets did not help. The bedroom was slightly shabby. The bathroom was dated. There was a lack of cleaning in places.
