Proximity to town
This hotel is clearly not in the best of areas, drug paraphernalia all over the place nearby. The rooms are small, dated and cheaply furnished. It seems as if a refurbishment project is underway however for the price paid of £90 for 1 night and no breakfast included or wifi it is somewhat poor.
Very noisy, obviously no sound insulation between floors or rooms and no aircon or fans so windows wide open - as rooms are atop of one another it is a little loud from other guests “enjoying themselves”

Loved coming to a warm clean room and not too far from the beach

We had a short stay, Hosts where lovely and polite and very helpful, there was an indoor swimming pool and outdoor pool and sauna but didn't have time to use them as we where only there couple days, only 5 mins walk away from sea front and there was a lovely pub not far, would stay here again 😊
Just a shame they didn't have a dining area for breakfast or evening meal.

Great hotel for the price, comfortable and welcoming with bonus of swimming pool.
Had to go out to get a drink, nothing at the hotel.

Every time that I am in Torquay on business, I make it a point to stay at Crofton House. A business trip becomes a break by staying here!
They truly understand the meaning of customer service here and always check in with me to make sure that I have everything I need. They take the comfort of their guests as the utmost priority.
The building is absolutely beautiful inside and I highly recommend a stay in one of their deluxe suites, which amazingly enough are about the same rate as a normal room rate elsewhere.
And to add to all of this, from a business perspective, the internet is really excellent here.
I am sure that if you stay, you will find it a place you will want to return to.

Je recommande vivement cet hôtel ! J’ai passé un séjour merveilleux, et l’établissement dispose de toutes les commodités nécessaires pour une escapade relaxante. Il y a une superbe piscine extérieure pour se rafraîchir, ainsi qu’une piscine intérieure chauffée pour se détendre quelle que soit la saison. Le sauna et le hammam sont parfaits pour se ressourcer après une journée bien remplie. De plus, la vue depuis ma fenêtre était absolument magnifique. Je garde un excellent souvenir de mon séjour et j’ai hâte d’y retourner.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the impeccable cleanliness. Every corner of the hotel, from the lobby to my room, was spotless and well-maintained.
The staff at this hotel truly go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Their professionalism and warm hospitality made my stay incredibly enjoyable. Every interaction, whether with the front desk or housekeepingwas marked by genuine friendliness and a willingness to assist with any request.
The range of facilities available at this hotel is simply outstanding. The sauna and steam room provided the perfect relaxation after a long day of exploring. Both the outdoor and indoor pools were fantastic, offering pristine and inviting waters for a refreshing swim regardless of the weather. The outdoor pool area, in particular, was a beautiful oasis, perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun.
Overall, the service, amenities, and dedication to guest satisfaction make this hotel a top choice for anyone looking for a truly exceptional stay. I can't wait to return and experience this level of excellence again!
During my stay, I decided to upgrade from a double room to a suite after a week. Although there was no lift, the staff were incredibly helpful and assisted me with carrying my suitcases, ensuring a smooth transition. Their attentive service made this minor inconvenience barely noticeable.

My recent stay at Crofton House Hotel in Devon was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly helpful and hospitable, ensuring that we felt welcomed and taken care of throughout our visit. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly made our stay special.
One of the highlights of our time at the hotel was the indoor pool. It provided a perfect place to relax and unwind, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. The pool area was clean, well-maintained, and inviting – a great feature that we took full advantage of.
The location of the hotel, surrounded by the beautiful Devon countryside, added to the overall charm. We enjoyed exploring the local area and appreciated the peaceful and picturesque surroundings.
Overall, our experience was fantastic. The combination of excellent staff, great amenities, and a lovely setting made for a memorable stay. We look forward to returning in the future!
We wish there were breakfast, but we knew there wouldn't be any before we booked.
The hotel needs some renovation in the back; we can't wait to come back and see the new rooms being built.

This is my 2nd time staying at Crofton House. The first time was such a positive experience all around that this was the obvious choice for myself and my family to stay here whilst travelling on business. I highly recommend the deluxe suites here. What you get for the money is simply astonishing, very roomy and each suite I have seen having its very own personal touch and at the price of most normal hotel rooms (even less in many instances as far as Torquay goes).
The staff at Crofton House are exceptionally helpful and always there to attend to any need that you may have. Asking if your room is to your liking in a manner that truly cares to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible....and I really mean that!
They are always quick to check in on you every day in a personal manner to see if there is anything that you need.
I can guarantee you that your stay at Crofton House will redefine hospitality to you in the most positive of manners.
Although hospitality seems to be a dying art these days in may hotels and bed and breakfasts, your stay here will restore your faith that it is possible to be treated like a well respected and desired guest.
Don't miss the opportunity if you are ever in the area!

Everything was good. We make a good use of the facilities such as the outside and inside swimming pool, hot tube and sauna.
The staff were amazing always making sure everything was okay.
We had a nice view facing the outside pool.
I will defenitly be back and I am already recommending it to my friends and family.
The location of the hotel is a little hidden behind one of the main streets but a short walk from the harbour beach so wasn't that bad.
The exterior fasade of the entrance needs renovation looks outdate but the interior is like a victorian vibe, a good surprise.

I recently stayed at Crofton and had a pleasant experience. The atmosphere of the hotel is inviting and relaxing, providing a warm welcome upon arrival. The reception staff, particularly the lady I interacted with, was extremely helpful. She promptly arranged for a quiet room as per my request, ensuring a comfortable stay.
The amenities were well-maintained, and I particularly enjoyed the pool area. Fresh towels were always available, enhancing the overall experience. The room was clean, adequately equipped, and offered a good balance of comfort and functionality.
While it is a 3-star hotel, the service exceeded my expectations. The staff's friendliness and willingness to assist made my stay enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy and affordable place to stay.
The rooms had no landline phone, but we could quickly contact them via text or telephone.
We had to share a fridge at the reception

From the minute we arrived we were greeted by very friendly and welcoming staff. Our stay was really nice. Our room was very large and had a great comfy bed and amazing shower. As well as a nice view of the pool area and garden. All the facilities were great especially the hot tub. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

Staff were very attentive to all of the needs of myself and my family. They always made a point of checking in to make sure that we were happy with our stay. When I first checked in I was jealous of the room that my other family members were in and decided to upgrade. They asked me if there were any problems with the room out of a desire to really make sure we felt comfortable.
The beds were exceptional restful. Everything was very clean. The building itself has and exceptionally lovely atmosphere. It's truly a hidden gem of Torquay and I would highly recommend the property to anyone either looking for just a getaway, or travelling on business.
Try one of the Deluxe Suites? Highly affordable and you will be amazed at what you get for the price.

The staff are very friendly and helpful always went out of their way to assist us. The location is very convenient as it is only 2 minute drive to the beach, they also have onsite parking which is free. Rooms were clean and spacious, we absolutely loved the facilities at the place, sauna, steam room, indoor and outdoor pool plus a hot tub. Supermarkets and restaurants are all under 10 minutes from the hotel. The owner and his wife are absolutely lovely people, will definitely be returning here again whenever we visit Torquay. Never felt so relaxed and stress free.

The staff are so helpfully, there is anything they won’t try to sort out. The fact there’s no breakfast in winter month they pointed me in the right direction in walking distance to get a lovely breakfast up the road. My daughter asked to use the pool an hour early they accommodated this to make our stay memorable 🥰
I didn’t feel my young child was a problem playing and run around excited just being a child. The patience given to my daughter and myself was priceless.

Friendly staff and nice and clean. Very accommodating

I found it strange going to another hotel but breakfast was adequate. If I had booked breakfast when I booked the room I would have been charged £8. I tried to order a breakfast later by email. I was told there was only continental but nothing about booking it. Then, when I got to hotel was told I could have a free breakfast in a different hotel. All very confusing.
A chair would have been good in the bedroom. Not only for sitting on but also for clothes. There was nowhere to put clothes.

Everything, it was a nice a beautiful stay, I wish I could stay more, the reception is very nice, Thank you Melissa.

Hot water hit and miss, there was a sign saying they would turn our room over and they didn't. Keys not ready on arrival. Tv was broken. But cheap enough that we didn't mind too much

Staff were friendly
The room smelt quite bad and we had to keep the windows open to get rid of it. We had breakfast included in our booking but then found out on the day that they didn’t even serve breakfast. Also smelt of weed.

Superb Customer service, I arrived and had been allocated an upper floor room, the gentleman on reception saw my walker, and immediately said there's a room on the ground floor, we'll swap you. The room was a decent size, bed nice and comfortable, and a nice shower.
Nothing to report

The staff was lovely ! The lady we met that checked us in was absolutely perfect at her job.
On the evening of our stay we returned to the hotel. My partner was walking so he returned to the hotel a little later. I went to the desk to ask for another room key as I didn't want to wait for my partner. The night porter (male) gave me the wrong key. I told him that this was the wrong key however he argued and argued so I took the key and it didn't work it was the wrong number. I explained this to him and he got very aggressive. He then gave me another key that I told him again was the wrong door and he argued and argues with me and said it's the right one. I then walked off again and again it was the wrong key. I then came back with the key and requested he walks with me to the room so I can show him what room I was in and he refused. I even asked said I would wait outside and tell him everything that was in the room. He became very aggressive and asked me to actually leave the property. I was so scared as I had nowhere to go. I then called my partner and luckily he came in and helped me persuade the night porter that it was our room. I refused to leave at this point I was very upset and shocked I had been treated like this if anything it's something you see on tv. We finally managed to get into our room unfortunately in the night I became unwell with my blood pressure and stayed longer on the Sunday. The lady that again was amazing at the start allowed us longer. I wouldn't of minded paying as I was so u well but she said it was ok.
We travel to Torquay with work and friends and stay at many hotels but I'm unsure if I could use this hotel again after the experience with the night porter. I would like to say thankyou to the lady on the desk she was so welcoming and even showed us other rooms for the future she definitely is an asset to the hotel.
If there is cctv I would recommend the hotel watch the cctv .

This place had a pool indoors and hot tub outdoors, beautiful terrace, beautiful views
1. Booking.com (initially!) said 'No prepayment needed' /pay later at the property'. I thought great , i ll just pay with cash or our debit card when I get there.
Next thing I know hotel charges me the full amount 3 days prior to my arrival....
Upon my arrival questioning the staff was pointless, they said they don't know why it happened, they said 'contact booking.com'
2. Shower was falling apart, and you had to run tap in the sink in order for water in shower turning hot, or running ar all.
3. Never got my towels replaced.
4. Room was never cleaned (bins were replaced & toilet paper...very very thin!)
5. Room 9 I stayed in smelled strongly of swimming pool, as if I was actually staying in swimming pool area, no joking!
6. Bed sheets smelled of cigarettes
7. Hotel offers two WiFis, none of them work in rooms. Maybe in reception
8. After all of this complaining I was offered to move to Room 11. Oh brother! That Room smelled as if someone just had a smoke in their.
And because I refused to change the room , hotel refused to provide partial refund for my troubles.
9. You get constant calls from 02081642202 (customer service group related to this hotel), checking on you whether you checked in, checked out then how was your stay...
Well I complained, of course. All I got "oh sorry to hear that. Thanks for your feedback'. No offer of refund, no credit, no voucher, no nothing.

The staff was amazing, Very friendly and helpful especially the night porters.
Jacuzzi was out of order.
