I think that anyone giving this hotel a bad review must have something clearly wrong with them. My wife, Kimberly and I were greeted by our lovely hosts after a long drive from Scotland. We originally tried to book through laterooms.com but that proved more trouble than it was worth so we phoned the palms directly and were given £20... More

Have just returned from a weekend at The Palms which we found to be very comfortable and friendly. We were greeted by Judy who took us to our twin room just at the top of the landing. A nice size with ensuite, tea/coffee making facilities and small fridge( can squeeze in a few cans and bottles ). Beds nicely presented... More

We recently stayed for two nights and found The Palms to be well maintained, clean and comfortable. Any issues were addressed promptly and the owners were very accommodating. It is well located for central Torquay and we would definitely stay again.

When I booked I wasn't expecting much from this small hotel/B&B - the pictures certainly do not show a true representation of the hotel. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the owners, who checked us in and showed us to our room. The room was bright with laminate flooring and all you could want. Plenty of Tea, Coffee and... More

Everything was clean and tidy. The lady was helpful, polite, patient. I dont know that you could expect anything more for the price. We were very tempted to stay another night. The shower in our room was particularly good.

This is a good Bed and Breakfast, that is well worth a visit. Everything is near by, shops, restaurant and harbour. But this hotel is not for the disabled or to those less mobile, as the steps up to the hotel are quite steep, and once in the B and B there are a few flights of stairs. parking outside... More
