Top Dawlish Hotel Reviews

The Imperial Torquay

The Imperial Torquay

8/10 Good
"Bare in mind this is a Victorian seaside building looks a little rough from the outside but inside is very clean and tidy. Veiws of Torbay are utterly outstanding and the hotel is designed to make the most of the veiws. Staff are wonderfully professional, smart and helpful. Car parking is available on site for an additional charge which is taken when checking in. The hotel is a short five minute walk from Torquay harbour on quite a steep hill, a further five minutes to walk to the town cente. The hotel has its own health and spa facilities which are included for guests to enjoy. Towels and lockers porvided free of charge, Breakfasts are of exellent quallity and taste buffet style for both hot and cold foods served in air condition dining area exploiting fantastic views of Torbay. The room I had was a little dated but perfectly functional and comfortable, again making the most of the veiws of Torbay. Rooms would benifit if there was a fridge and air conditioning provided. We would definitely stay here again."
