"The hotel is lovely and clean and on arrival you feel that you are somewhere special and only a short walk into Torquay."

"What a lovely hotel! The view from my room was amazing. The room itself was stunning and had all the extra touches that make your stay memorable. If it had been warmer I would have sat on the welcoming balcony, looking out to sea. Lovely location and stunning hotel. "

"Very friendly & helpful staff, breakfast was fresh & hot. Bed had a mattress topper, but was comfortable. A little over priced."

"Great hotel, close to grocery stores. Jack Rabbit Pub 10 minute walk. Lots of parking, laundry facilities, great breakfast."

"Check in was quick and got car parking. Room was clean, good sleep as bed was comfy and very quiet. Breakfast was good, enjoyed the stay."

"Our stay at Hampton by Hilton Torquay lived up to the brand’s reputation for consistency and in several areas, exceeded expectations. Parking was straightforward, with ample options both on-street and in a nearby multi-storey just a short walk away (under 200 yards), which made arrival and daily outings very easy. The hotel foyer was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out, with useful local information readily available. Our room was on the smaller side compared to typical U.S. standards, though that’s fairly typical across Europe. It was, however, well equipped, including a small fridge for drinks, and stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. One thing to note: the mattress is very firm. Those who prefer a harder bed will likely appreciate it, but it wasn’t quite to our liking and resulted in some back discomfort during our stay. A more significant downside was the inability to open the bedroom window. This meant relying entirely on the air conditioning, which worked perfectly well but we would have preferred the option of fresh air. Breakfast was included in our rate and was a real positive. There was a good selection each morning, with both hot items and a solid continental offering, all fresh and well presented. The location is excellent within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, local bus routes, and around 15 minutes on foot to two nearby rail stations. We stayed for six nights and would happily return."

"Our favourite UK Hotel and destination .. "

"Extremely helpful staff, good food, well located. Didn’t know that the week I was starting the hotel was replacing all the entrance doors to all the rooms. So I was staying in a building site during the day. No advance notice, just an apology slid a note slid under the door after the first day."

"Lovely hotel set on South Sands beach. Room nice - we had one looking out over road and car park - seaview ones more expensive. Walls are thin and you hear the plumbing system in morning when others are using their bathrooms. Breakfast is a delight, overlooking the sea and choice is excellent. You can take the boat from the beach to Salcombe town fir under a fiver. We did it one-way and walked back. Lovely coastal walk just over a mile so not too far. Road access to the hotel is quite challenging as they are very narrow and steep."
