"Really lovely hotel and location, staff helpful, would be nice to have access to a gym or pool. Was told by a local that the hotel doesn’t allow locals to use the bar / restaurant which seems a shame"

"Our stay at Hampton by Hilton Torquay lived up to the brand’s reputation for consistency and in several areas, exceeded expectations. Parking was straightforward, with ample options both on-street and in a nearby multi-storey just a short walk away (under 200 yards), which made arrival and daily outings very easy. The hotel foyer was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out, with useful local information readily available. Our room was on the smaller side compared to typical U.S. standards, though that’s fairly typical across Europe. It was, however, well equipped, including a small fridge for drinks, and stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. One thing to note: the mattress is very firm. Those who prefer a harder bed will likely appreciate it, but it wasn’t quite to our liking and resulted in some back discomfort during our stay. A more significant downside was the inability to open the bedroom window. This meant relying entirely on the air conditioning, which worked perfectly well but we would have preferred the option of fresh air. Breakfast was included in our rate and was a real positive. There was a good selection each morning, with both hot items and a solid continental offering, all fresh and well presented. The location is excellent within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, local bus routes, and around 15 minutes on foot to two nearby rail stations. We stayed for six nights and would happily return."

"Excellent breakfast"

"Premium room very noisy outside. Backed onto loading bay or something. Lift out of order and no food after 8.45. But breakfast fine and staff helpful."

"Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was good. Room was clean . However was very tired and need of a freshen up. Could not turn shower off so had to be moved rooms. Second room lock was a bit fishy and needed lots of pulling/pushing to secure locking "

"The Hotel is conveniently located as it's a walking distance from town, walking distance from the Grand Western Canal and in close proximity to Fast food outlets and garages. That's an extra plus to the hotel as the walking distance encourages involuntary exercising, to the benefit of patrons' good holistic health and wellbeing. Back indoors, it's very quiet inside, allowing good resting and a good night's sleep. On waking up in the morning, one is greeted with an amazing buffet for breakfast, getting one ready for the day. The staff are great, one of the few unique places you still get a full package at check-in, ensuring that you are inducted to all the essentials. The restaurant and bar staff always give a service with a smile, and to specifications. For the kitchen staff, as it is said, "The taste of the pudding is in the eating". Though the patrons might not see you facially, you are seen in those succulent ribs and wings, just to mention my own favourite dish. You do an amazing job. Let me challenge the Hotel Management, all hotel staff and patrons by saying, if these premises were filthy noone would want to work there, let alone, be associated with Tiverton Hotel. Credit goes to all Housekeeping staff for making us want to come back again, again and again. Your service is second to none. I look forward to the re- opening/re-launching of Tiverton Hotel soon, after the renovations currently underway. Behind this successful team is, I believe, good management."

"We had a lovely stay at the Imperial. Although on arrival we thought the exterior looked tired and was worried about what the interior would be like. Nevertheless we needed not to be concerned as it is in a very good condition internally. Our room was a nice size and probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever had at a hotel. The breakfast was of a good standard. One tiny complaint is they I had to.pay for the car park. Overall it’s a lovely hotel, nice staff and a very pleasant stay in Torquay. "

"Great hotel, first time I’ve stayed in one and was really impressed with the whole set up. It felt like an upgrade compared to the usual holiday inn. Breakfast was really good the following morning too. "

"Good breakfast choice options and bar facilities if required."
