Other than that hotel was nice Didn’t have breakfast but coffee in reception today served by a lovely friendly man was lovely Reception staff lovely too VERY slow lift. Ok for us on floor 1 but some of our friends on 7 had a lot of steps as 20 mins plus for lift not great"

"We had a pretty good two night stay here whilst visiting friends. The hotel is central and close to all amenities, the arena and places we wanted to visit. We had a few misunderstandings with the room type but it was worked out eventually, Housekeeping here are phenomenal and the place sparkles all the time. There were two things we didn’t like - firstly the parking is very limited. Although there is a car park it is small and rammed full - the £10 per night charge is reasonable for the area - but if you’ve paid for your stay, gone out for the day and come back to zero space for your car, you have limited options. Also on the Saturday night we stayed they had live music, it was so loud it reverberated on the 5th floor, we had to leave the lobby area as it was so disruptive."

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"Hotel was not what we expected but was good value for money. We went when there was a fair on so lots of noise outside as you are in the centre of the motion. The staff member was brilliantly friendly but the room was on the small side for a double and bathroom would not suit someone 6ft plus due to sink being right next to the toilet. The double room we was allocated was more a single then a double. Personally I'd say this location suits people going away on day trips with friends or people working away from home not a couple going away but that is our opinion. I want to say if your looking for good value for your budget this place suits you 100% it's clean tidy and ideal for single visitors who want a nice base"

"Incredible hotel, couldn’t recommend more. The only fault I could find was the WiFi. It was a very weak connection that fell in and out of connection every single day, normally wouldn’t be a big issue but obviously you don’t have any data in that location either. Other than that, spectacular!!"

South Sands Hotel

South Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A delightful little hotel. Staff were all pleasant and helpful, our room was spacious light and airy overlooking the beach . Quality of bedding and towels are lovely. Food very nicely cooked, good choice of menu, no greasy breakfasts, all well presented. Good variation of dinner menu. South sands beach is lovely, perfect for families. My only hesitation is that if you don’t want to drive whilst on holiday the walk to the next beach, north sands, is a very steep walk uphill and then a further walk into Salcombe itself for us of “mature years”, or for the very young. The ferry across to Salcombe is fun but stops crossing back around 6.00pm so evening meals there are out unless you can get a taxi back. We had a lovely break here and would recommend it for a quiet relaxing time."
