We had a wonderful weekend as a family of four, staying in a one-bedroom apartment. Although we slept on a sofa bed in the lounge area, which wasn't very comfortable, perhaps investing in a new sofa would help. The kitchen was well-equipped with an oven and a large fridge-freezer. The leisure facilities were impressive, featuring several pools as well as a hot steam room and sauna. While we didn't dine at the restaurant, we enjoyed a couple of drinks there, although they were a bit pricey, prompting us to venture out for food and drinks on most days. We ordered from Deliveroo on the first evening, which was quite convenient, and we also had an amazing curry at a restaurant called Tariks, located on the road from Torquay to Paignton. Although the exterior didn't seem glamorous, the food quality was exceptional. While the hotel itself is somewhat dated, it served perfectly as a base for our stay. The staff were welcoming and friendly, always available to provide helpful information. We would definitely consider staying here again.

If you don’t mind a tired and noisy hotel in need of some love and attention then this is fine. The room was clean, albeit very basic. The mattress was very soft. The sounds of doors banging in the corridors seemed to echo very loudly and there were constant streams of people making a lot of noise out side the from entrance (my room was on the 2nd floor overlooking the entrance). On Friday morning there was a laundry delivery at around 6am that woke me. All in all a good cheap hotel. I guess you get what you pay for and I did not pay much as I just needed a place to sleep.

We came from the west midlands to torquay, 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 6. This hotel was perfect for us all. The kids always had something to do. We had 1 day of bad weather but we didnt care as there were alot to do in the hotel. My youngest (staying with me and my partner) went to the toby club and did somr clay making with matt who was lovely whilst my eldest went down to the bunker and went off with a few other children and the lady who ran the club. He loved it and we felt ok leaving him. The swimming was amazing, we went a few times, i used the sauna and steam room and loved it. Staff were lovely wherever we went. Around torquay is lovely too, we loved the crab catching which is a must to do. Overall we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Torquay.
