I have just spent a long weekend at the Kistor & it was timed right as the weather was lovely. Our bags were taken to our rooms by a very polite couple of young men, which was good as for some, carrying their own bags may have been a struggle, as the lift only serves one half of the hotel... More

Thank you ever so much for your comprehensive review. I'd like to state that our evening meal choice is about to be extended with an additional fish course and extra choices for dessert. I for one am really looking to that starting next week! You are quite right as are all the other reviewers regarding the carpets. We hope to... More

I visited this hotel as part of a large group over the Spring BH weekend 2012. There was another large group in the hotel at the time. I need to be very careful as we were given a very cheap price for the weekend which included BB & EM but....... The hotel could be described as tired but as the... More

We agree with the reviewers who said this hotel was ideally located and that the food, service and staff were excellent. The bedrooms were clean, the entertainment was good and the only minus point was the tired decor as someone else has said. We had an excellent weekend.

I am pleased that you had an excellent weekend with us. It sounds like you came down with the intention of enjoyong yourself. Yes the hotel is a getting a little tired in some areas but we do try to ensure that the rates we charge are not only very competitive but also help to compensate for the fact that... More

The hotel is itself is in a great location for exploring Torquay. A short walk away from the seafront. Food was good, even if menu choice was limited. Bedrooms, clean and tidy, hotel staff friendly and polite.

We thought the hotel was very good value for money and in a very good location. Sure, the hotel decor is a little tired and in need of refurbishment however the friendliness of the staff more than compensated. The food was excellent and plentiful. The service in the dining room was friendly and efficient. We went to a BBQ on... More

This is a typical seaside tourist hotel. It needs some re-decoration and new carpeting in some areas but the food was very good even though the choice was limited. There was a separate à la carte restaurant, if required, but we travelled down by coach in a group so we ate in the dining room. It was excellent value for... More
