Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

4/10 Poor

The room was awful, dirty and there was someone else’s pants left in the room. We stayed in a deluxe sea view. The bed was really really bad. Staff are friendly and the main reception and bar is nice. Breakfast was standard.
