"We could not stay at This property . It was poor condition and the room we booked was not provided. It was hot , no ac and not even a fan was provided . The bed was shocking , The outdoor pool was closed and overgrown and mouldy . My wife has poor knees and could not have used the shower over bath. This hotel is a 2-3 star . We had staff revving motorcycles under our window and talked loudly."
"Staff excellent, food good but disturbed sleep as the bedroom doors are heavy and although on a soft close mechanism , slam shut very loudly at the end . When checking out we mentioned this and were told they are aware and that hotel is due a refurbishment ..."
"Positives - location perfect for exploring Exeter and The Quay. Bathroom was nice and more recently refurbished. Carpark was straightforward but you pay. Bar man very helpful, went out of his way to find some peppermint tea, very grateful.
Staff were friendly but no one explained about the £10 pp charge to swim… we were simply told we could use the leisure facilities while we stayed.
It was cheap but a poor choice - no sleep, bedroom and communal areas tired. Bed had no mattress protector, one thin sheet straight on to an old lumpy mattress. This is surely not good practice, made me feel really icky, couldn’t settle and was meant to be a rare night to ourselves as a couple! Would really suggest investing in new beds, toppers or at the absolute least please use mattress protectors!!
We booked on the basis of the proximity to Exeter and the pool, but we didn’t see the small print about £10 pp to use it. We didn’t bother for a £20 swim as the reviews of the pool were not great either!
I would have rather paid more for the room to include the swim and mattress protector!! We didn’t have breakfast, everything seems to be an additional charge. Had a beautiful breakfast by the quay, 5 min walk, better value with a view.
If you are not fussy where you sleep and want no frills, central location then it may suit, otherwise I would not recommend!"
"Really enjoyed our stay here. Staff were very nice, pool and spa were lovely and food was good. My only complaint about the room would be that the bed was too hard.
The hotel is on a steep hill so if, like me, you have health issues you'll need to get a taxi back from the centre of Torquay."
