Torbay Court Hotel

Had a great time with my sister..clean hotel and room .. very friendly staff.helpfull with whats going on in the area and bus details.right near the beach and shops .lovely hot breakfast 😋..Will be taking mom nxt year. And my sister again..if she can put up with me again 🤣

so far so good! Breakfast is good but not much range also the staff are so nice here friendly and welcoming, housekeeping everyday and clean and facility’s are good. Also not too pricey the rooms are good for what you pay for, might come back here not 100% sure yet since our stay isn’t over but so far it’s been great. Also has var and refreshments in the suite part

On arrival hotel looked great with a really welcoming smart entrance and reception area. We arrived early so went into the lounge bar with our luggage to wait for checking. Ordered some drinks from the bar and sat to relax. Receptionist called us together and there started the rules and regulations talk, as if we were 10 year olds, despite being given written instructions .Room keys given out and we all checked into our rooms. Looked ok but small is an understatement, opened my curtains and they became detached from the curtain rail, they were the cheapest you can buy on the market. Hubby managed to put it back up. The usual cheap coffee/tea facilities, I always bring my own because of this. Hubby had a shower and not amount of trying to adjust the temp worked so a scolding shower it was. Breakfast was very bland and cheaply put together, again cheap coffee. We had to choose our dinner selections ready for evening meal and were told that if we were not turning up for the meal we MUST let them know in advance as they didn’t want wasted meals. Ok so I’ve paid for my room and meals and really not sure why they are concerned as they are losing nothing!!!!!! Had a great day in Paignton and arrived back too late for evening meal, my bad my loss, some of my group who had turned up for food found their portions tiny, the veg hardly blanched and just not up to any standard at all. The Hotel caters for seniors and our group were between 50 & 72 the entertainment was a man on keyboard and frankly the radio would have been better, it really looked like a scene from cocoon (before they jumped into the pool) more like a care home than hotel. Off we went in search of real entertainment and a great night was had at the Spinning Wheel. Came home from a fab night out to no electricity in the room, apart from ceiling light. Found the night porter who had no clue were the fuse box was and just walked around looking vague. He was walking up and the corridor opening and shutting doors!! Eventually after about 1/2 hr the electricity came on. Home the next morning and we couldn’t get out of there fast enough. If you want a break at a care home that treats you like kids then this is the place for you.

Positives : Comfy bed , Entertainment , bar , lovely looking reception area Negative: 2 of the staff we found rude & condescending with some of the other members of our coach trip who were of a certain age . Quantity & Quality of some of the food was poor . Room service was poor , I put towels down in the morning but returned to the same dirty towels put back on pegs , and ran out of toilet roll one day as service staff didn't leave a spare roll , additional charge for tea coffee items within room five pence an item , no hot water coming out of washbasin , shower either too hot or too cold , had to buy bottled water due to tap water having a distinct horrible taste possibly water boards fault . I would suggest rearranging the seating area within the entertainment room , removing some of the large chesterfield settees and putting tables & chairs there , felt more like a waiting lounge . Public toilet NO hand drying facility, Air dryer broken , would have thought they would have put paper towels as a replacement. Hotel has potential but needs serious changers . Won't be going back

Very nice place and great people

Good for short stay

10/10! Staff were so welcoming and were very accomodatinmg to me under my unfortunate circumstances. The rooms were of a high standard, they felt super safe and were very very quiet with no noise at all. I stayed here for just under a week and I felt very well looked after, especially after a lovely lady called Louise who was always there if I needed anything. Looking forward to staying again!

Hotel was clean & tidy. All staff very helpful and friendly. Room prices very competitive.

I didnt take photos as the lighting was horrible every buld was a digferent wattage and colour, the room was uneven the tempreture gauge on the shower was scolding or lukewarm no inbetween the tv lost signal and u couldnt turn uo the volume. The beds were way too soft with lumpy mattresses the pillows were rock hard even with the windows shut the seagulls were so loud it was lije they were jn the room with you. However the very worst bit was finding somebody else's underwear in a bathroom draw i mean Yuk. When leaving was ready to give this review to them in person but as they didnt ask i didnt tell them. Do not waste your money this hotel.is one of the worst i have stayed in this was a trip with my son but i travel for work a lot would not recommed to my worat enemy.
