We have given less stars this year. Was highly disappointed in a few things. Bathroom, cracked sink glued, very low toilet , child’s height, no shower curtain , toilet seat loose, toilet handle did not function correctly. Food in dining was not worth the money, returned 3 times . Only one dining area open this time , at night other one with views was closed after 6pm. Pool area needs upgrading, locals attend the pool daily meaning there are less beds for those in vacation and we had broken sun bed ( 3 were broken ) pool also needs cleaning. For what we payed we were highly disappointed and will not be returning to this hotel. Others complained also.

This was a very nice hotel and and we had a Sea View however due to the flying birds around the area, the windows were dirty with bird poo. The hotel should ensure cleanliness of the windows too.

No usb sockets for phone and the kettle did not work. Also was a couple so why only one hot chocolate?? But couldn’t use it anyway as the kettle did not work. One of the female bar staff was very abrupt and forgot to make a pot of tea I ordered. I had to return to the bar twice to remind the staff I had ordered it by which time all my friends had finished their drinks.

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.

Reception staff were extremely helpful in sorting out a very minor problem, which was quickly rectified. But once you leave the reception area, the whole interior area needs some TLC. As a dog owner we completely understand the and have absolutely no problems with the reasons for separate dining areas, however there was zero assistance available in our assigned breakfast dining area.

Nice grand hotel. Well maintained. Room does not have air conditioning, even though there was an air-conditioning panel which did not work. It was a hot British summer. The front desk staff was pretty curt about it. However, Rob, the night manager managed to sort out the issue somewhat by providing us with some fans which helped. He was so much better than the earlier front desk staff that handled the situation. Hats off to you Rob!

Our room was 'a compact 'positioned at the rear overlooking the station. On the roof below were extraction vents which were noisy and extremely ugly. Having said this the room was clean with a nice sized bathroom, and cheap for the time of year.
