Great location

This was our second visit to the Grand Hotel in Torquay. We definitely enjoyed this stay, loved the bed, spacious room, sea view and lovely balcony. The room was warm, so we left the balcony door open and it was more comfortable. Breakfast was buffet style, which was okay, though a bit disappointing for the price. The table hadn't been cleaned, and cutlery was missing. Food was okay. Checking in and out was easy enough. Lovely building, sea view excellent. Managed to get free parking across the road so that was a bonus.

The Grand supported our needs and promptly handled any miscommunication that came up. The spa is worth your time and the staff were courteous & friendly. Events did mean we couldn't enjoy all the facilities but alternate activities were found and enjoyed.

Location is amazing - right by the station, the beach and the festival we were attending. Hotel bar is gorgeous but swimming pool area needs some attention and more loungers. Rooms at the top of the hotel are incredibly hot but a fan is provided (we only found that the next morning!). Staff are super friendly and helpful.

The hotel is an icon of the area however the upkeep of the hotel has definitely slipped. The staff did their best to help out where possible but the stay was uncomfortable at best. We really wanted to love it but facing a train station with very worn out bed and a bathroom with mold didn’t have us resting as we had planned. Unfortunate.

Faded glamour

Glamorous hotel, faded in places and could do with a little refurb in the bedroom corridors and around the pool, but we had a lovely stay, the facilities are great and our room was well-appointed. Great location, right next to the station and lovely view of Torquay. We will definitely return.

Old-world warmth of welcome to children and adults. Main reception room is a beautiful large high windowed, graceful, room resplendent with its numerous couches, library, sea views and perfect for rainy days. The pork belly and fresh vegetables were delicious. A realistically priced, child-welcoming, truly charming hotel with generous pool towels, for the much enjoyed indoor and outdoor pool. The location is great for quick walks, short taxi and train rides to an abundance of child-appropriate fun. The staff are delightful. Grandeur and hospitality without the price-tag, breakfast and bedroom more than adequate, we look forward to our next visit very much. If you need power-showers, and ten-star waitress-service breakfasts, air conditioning, ... this hotel is not for you, but how lucky we are to have this wonderful hotel exactly as it is.
