For a relaxing break , be it long or short this hotel has to be on your short list .Overlooking Torbay and situated next to the railway station ( we arrived by train ), the impressive foyer and sumptuous , spacious guest lounge are the main attraction . A quiet room (library) off the lounge for those who want a... More

This was my third visit in two years and, once again, I was not to be disappointed. Our room was at the back of the hotel near the air conditioning plant but even this could not take away the enjoyment of staying here. Well decorated and with everything one needs in what was one of the cheaper rooms available. The... More

Without doubt it is a grand hotel. The outside is inevitably a little weathered as it is on the seafront and it has survived there a good many years but it is well kept.

I beieve the staff at this hotel have acheived that rarest of feats in that they can run whilst walking at the same time. I would recommend them for some sort of olympic event in that they move across the plush carpets of the hotel at such a speed but one foot is always in contact with the ground. other... More
