We had a terrible experience. The windows did not open and were unclean. The carpet was unclean too. The beds had one pillow per person with no headboards on the bed. We had no towels and were told they were waiting on the towels - we got these just before checkout. Overall an unpleasant experience.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! This hotel is a building site that hasn't seen a cleaner for months. Please read more on TA if in doubt! The first room we got offered had no curtains, a dirty bath full of hair, and had a strong paint smell. The second had a burnt bed, holes in the sheets, and a filthy carpet. We did NOT stay and I suggest you dont even book. You pay on site so can't get a refund through hotels.com. We spent an hour on the phone with 'customer services' only to be told their policy required them to escalate the issue to 'the management' . 2 days later our refund request was declined for no reason. A total rip off, they know everybody would request a refund through this portal hence they take your cash on site. AVOID AVOID AVOID

It is ok for a night. It is very basic so if you are looking for a cheap deal is ok. Disappointed with the water temperature in the shower. Was a bit cold for me.

Room was what we paid for - cheap and cheerful. Nothing special. Windows were filthy but the view was great. Leaving the windows open meant it was very noisy. We were next to the stairs so also heard everyone coming and going. Mattress was old and springy.

The hotel is a lovely place, the staff was friendly and very helpful. On the days when we stayed the unique bad things we encountered were noise guesses in the room next door, so we couldn't really rest as we expected but apart from that attention at the hotel in great!

The worst hotel I have ever been in. Room really dirty, kettle dirty, squeaky bed, squeaky floorboards, moths and Flys galore. The whole vibe of place was awful and depressing. Place needs a big big upgrade on everything.

I don't know if the hotel failed to acknowledge the request or if expedia failed to pass it on but we requested a wheelchair accessible room. What we got was a room on a mezzanine floor and accessing it required one of our party to take the lift to the floor above and then shuffle down the stair on her bum whilst I carred the chair down for her. The room was dusty, paint cracked and peeling off, the bathroom just looked gross it desperately needed renovation. Parking overnight cost £10 although that might be advertised somewhere on the site, I certainly didn't see it and I had filtered hotels to just ones with parking. One plus side, the receptionist who greeted us was very accommodating, tried his best to swap us to a more suitable room, was very apologetic and helped out in every way he could.

Photos are deceiving as rooms are of a very low standard, mix matched bed bases and dirty wood chip walls and bathrooms are dirty . Nothing matching . Very run down .

The hotel is very run down, there was a strong smell of mould and damp. During the night me and my partner was constantly being bitten by flees or bed bugs. The room's are old fashioned and in need of updating. The shower never got passed luke warm. We wasn't expecting miracles but for £109 For one night we thought that was a bit steep.

If I could sum this place up in one word, it was (awful). The shower unit didn’t work. I tried having a bath which was near impossible, the hot water was scalding hot,when I tried turning on the cold tap there was very little water coming out the tap…

The staff were friendly and welcoming, unfortunately the hotel is in need of total renovation, our first room was not what we expected needing redecorating and a deep clean. Also doors being slammed all night we got no sleep. We told the manager and he moved us promptly to a cleaner and quieter room. With no restaurant facilities meant having to go out for all meals not what we expected. A bit disappointing in all.

Good location but hotel very dated and in need of refurbishment. Parking has to be pre-booked. Window in room didn’t lock and shower was appalling. Only stayed for one night and that was enough.

Mohamed in reception made us feel very welcome. So did his young colleague - I didn't catch his name. We were there for 5 nights and had two rooms. There was not much car parking space but we were able to park for most of our stay on site. The rooms were clean and the shower worked perfectly. The hotel's decor could use a lick of paint but other than that we all had an enjoyable stay.

The location is great, a few minutes walk to the harbour. The communal areas at the hotel are unacceptable. The parking was not free and I was not informed that you need to pre-book. There are only around ten spaces available for the entire hotel as well. The room was good, bed was comfortable but the bath was stained and the bin was kit emptied after previous guests.

Lovely visit & room had fantastic view of Torquay bay.The staff were really friendly & Breakfast consisted of full English, toast, cereals & fruit which was very nice.The hotel is up a steep hill so if you are without a car or have mobility issues dont book & then complain!Very traditional decor & could do with a repaint on the balconies but otherwise really lovely. The area around is quiet & the guests were mainly older generation on coach trips so no noise! There is entertainment on some nights which looked good.Overall would definately stay again.

The hotel is is a good location, nice decor and nice rooms. Some of the rooms have a great view of the ocean. In general, the staff are nice though at times they seem stretched a bit. (the front desk girl also doubles up as the bar server and also runs back and forth from the rooms as needed) The breakfast was reasonably priced and was quite good. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel.
