She didn't even charged and was kind enough to provide it by herself. ##### tenzin Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful. We only stayed for 1 night, but got to try out the free pool for a quick swim before breakast. Breakfast was all you can eat buffet which at £10 i thought was good value. Parking is a bit of a problem, but the building is Victorian era so to be expected. The room we had was in need of a bit of TLC with the decor, but the bed was soft and clean and the ensuite was modern. We will definitely consider staying here again when we're next in Devon. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dyfan 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service A bit dated ##### Dyfan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nina 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable rooms with great beds and facilities. Yes, a bit dated in terms of furniture and cracks on walls etc but our room was spotless clean. The indoor pool area (watch out fairly deep pool!) and jacuzzi were great and empty when we visited. Breakfast was simple but perfectly good to set you up for the rest of the day. Great location right by the beach and only 15mins walk to the Marina/centre. Would stay again! ##### Nina Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were brilliant lovely place to stay ##### Peter Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barry 15 Apr 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Grand Hotel Due to refurbishment we were sent to another Richardson hotel called the Grand. We had problems and had to move rooms twice Staff at Grand were fantastic helpful and polite. Would definitely recommend the Grand. ##### Barry Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Virginia 11 Jul 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel had just been open a few days after being closed for 8 months. The building is shabby & our room was worse. There were stains on the carpet & upholstery. The bathroom was nice as it looked as if it had been upgraded recently. There was no ac & we could only open the window a few inches. We had a very small fan, inadequate. The sun shone on our window most of the day. It was hot! ##### Virginia Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Janette 17 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Grand Hotel Torquay Always a pleasant stay at the Grand ##### Janette Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharron 4 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Brilliant hotel, lovely staff, great food and we had a lovely stay thank you ##### Sharron Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 27 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hotel within walking distance of the beach.
