Had a weekend break, great service- nice room although slightly dated, very clean. Good breakfast. Bar and snacks good value. Only slight negative ordered a tuna sandwich and the bread was literally cut two inches thick, amazing value but so difficult to eat and wasteful. Our only negative, loved the stay.

Had a lovely weekend in Torquay. Very good service at the Grand Hotel. Hotel next to railway station which was useful as travelling by train. Didnt have evening meals at hotel, but breakfasts were excellent. Used the indoor pool which was adequate for a nice swim in the morning. Room pleasant and clean, but bed a bit hard. Hotel clean and tidy but generally decor looks a bit tired. Staff pleasant and helpful. Would be happy to stay there again.

The hotel location was great... a short walk from the train station and by the water. The staff was friendly. Our room was small but clean. The bathroom sink was badly cracked and the taps barely worked. There was no AC and no screen on the windows which we had to keep closed because of the birds. The view was of a rusty metal fire escape with many bird droppings. The elevators were scarey with a note to say to call on your cell phone if the elevator stops. We did not have a cell phone plan so we rode separately.
