This was our 3rd stay and the reception staff were as friendly & helpful as always. The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped for self catering. Our only disappointment was that we were not informed prior to our arrival with regard to the pool & fitness centre being closed for refurbishment.

Comfortable beds and adjustable heating as weather became cold and damp. Very clean. I had anticipated a few toiletries so didn't bring shampoo or anything. Biscuit and decaf coffee not resupplied on second day . Staff helpful but scarce. Tea/coffee machine was not operating sometimes nor enough clean cups available. Nice fresh fruit salad at breakfast but smoked salmon very salty. Breakfast wasn't free but included in cost btw

Stayed many times at the Passage House as convenient but rooms are tired and on the last occasion the water was not very hot for both the shower and sink. Breakfast cereal choices have become more limited but the cooked breakfast was excellent and well presented. Also on the plus side a comfortable bed.

The bed was SOO comfortable, sheets and towels lovely, white & clean and we had a really good night's sleep. Great view. However, the room was very dirty, carpet filthy and not hoovered with all sorts of debris clearly visible just under the bed. The bathroom was tatty with dirty brown edged mastick and the uplighting highlighted ancient looking cobweb 'curtains'. The phone and kettle were ancient and filfthy. The bath drained too slowly not to have a blockage problem. My mum would not have stayed in this room! Most staff were lovely. A bearded man we encountered behind the bar was a total misery.

Enjoyable stay in a pleasant location

I have stayed at the Passage House a few times as family members and grandchildren live within walking distance. I have always found the staff friendly and professional. The room was spacious and although the facilities are a little tired and dated it was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good and hearty with plenty of choice. For the first time I walked into Newton Abbot along the river footpath which meant I could leave the car at the hotel which was definitely a bonus for a day at the races.

Room was adequate, hotel a bit run down, staff friendly enough but not overly attentive. Room looked clean, however in the morning the bathroom floor got very wet, I used one of their white towels to mop it up and it ended up black!! Also cobwebs on bathroom ceiling, rust patches on radiator etc. The hotel has had its day and just feels a little unloved.
