I recently stayed here on business, love the modern look of the hotel very stylish feel to it, my room was very clean, shower pressure was quite weak not powerful at all,but this wasn't much of an issue for me, slept well, a lot of creaky hall ways but that is what you get in old buildings I suppose.

My husband myself and three year old grand daughter have just returned having spent one night at this hotel. We stayed in a family room which was very nice and clean and very spacious. I suppose the only fault was the tiny bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good. As we only paid £67... More

We stayed there for three nights and were quite happy with it. Our room was nicely decorated with a great view of the sea, and staff are very friendly and helpful. It was overall nice and quiet, but I think that was due to there not beeing too many guests. On our last day people moved into the neighbouring room... More

Thankyou for your recent review. Hotel Gleneagles is a very old building and in some parts of the building we have experienced problems with water pressure this however is in the process of being dealt with. As for the rooms again a similar situation as you can well imagine a hotel like ours is always 90% full during off season... More

We had a spacious and (mostly) clean room with a great view over the bay. The bed was big and comfortable. The hotel got the main things right but little things let them down. The towels were too small, the shower head was disgusting, the bedside lamp was dusty, the tea tray was not replenished on one of the four... More

My best friend and I booked this hotel a week before arriving and we were extremely happy with our choice. The hotel has great decor, the room was a good size, we were fortunate with the weather so the sun would set on our balcony, sitting by the pool was relaxing and the location was great - sea views were...

As it's bank holiday weekend you expect to pay a bit over the top but it was overpriced for what it was. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely little hotel with great service but the bedrooms are definitely in need of an overhaul. We were greeted by a lovely lady with a nice welcome. She showed us around the... More

Just spent 3 days in Sunny Torquay, and what a gem the gleneagles is. Without question every member of staff gave the most friendly and helpful service wished for. The manager was covering a dinner service and even came out of the kitchen in his chefs whites to meet the guests, every table. The room was clean and view of... More
