Always a good stay at Grand Hotel
Greg, 1-night trip

We had a wonderful stay at The Grand Hotel, we had our 11 month old puppy with us too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would like to make a special mention to the restaurant staff as we had dinner on Saturday evening in the dog friendly part of the bar and were well looked after. Thank you once again for making our stay so enjoyable.

Chris, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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
Miss C, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic room with wonderful sea views. Beautiful decor, very attentive staff and great breakfast.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Over an hour late checking us in with no real concern the room wasnt ready for 3pm check in wouldn’t have minded but reception just didn’t care we had to sit about waiting. Room was ok quite clean bed was comfortable windows had all hand marks over them We were in 4th floor with partial sea view which was quite nice facing the train track but that didn’t really bother us . Overall look of the building inside and out is quite run down would be a lovely hotel if this was looked at . Lovely warm pool both inside and out. Breakfast was fine but had an evening meal and was not that great which h was a shame because it cost a bit Overall nice location had a lovely time in Torquay Would we stay in this hotel again ? Probably not I think there are nicer places around for less money or better for the money we paid
