Torbay Court Hotel

We had a really lovely stay at the Torbay Court Hotel and would happily return. The location is ideal and just a short stroll to the beach and close to all the local shops and amenities. It made a great base for getting out and about around Paignton and the surrounding area. From the moment we arrived, Steve and the rest of the team made us feel genuinely welcome. They were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. There was even a DJ on the first evening, which created a great atmosphere and got the trip off to a fun start. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a decent variety of options. The staff were always cheerful and helpful, which really added to the overall experience. A special mention has to go to Steve, he was fantastic throughout our stay, always approachable and happy to help with anything. Overall, it was a warm and relaxing break. If we were to be picky, a slightly broader breakfast selection would have been the cherry on top — but everything else was spot on. We’d definitely recommend it to others.

Friendly staff and the room was nice and clean

The rooms were clean and well serviced. The bed was solid and comfy. The staff were very helpful. I saw people have had issues with the water pressure in the showers. I waited about twenty seconds for the pump to kick in and it was a great shower. Comments about the walls being thin. On the first night I had nightmare neighbours. But Steve promptly dealt with them and no more noise. Simples. I was there for 5 nights. Had different, more courteous neighbours during the rest of my stay. No issues. Cheers guys. I'll see you again if working in the area. 👍. Keep up the good work. Damian

Staff were friendly, room was clean. Good location. That's the main things for me. If you're using the hotel as just a place to sleep like we were then it does the job & at a decent price. There's a bar & restaurant with lots of seating. Ate there one evening when the weather was awful & we had the place to ourselves, food was nice although a very small menu (was told they have a bigger menu when they recieve coach trips) Downsides: the shower kept going really hot then really cold & the walls were paper thin could hear the neighbours full conversations but like i said we were barely in the hotel so depends what you're looking for.

Good points: 1: Efficient housekeeping. 2: Great location. 3: Generally friendly staff. Bad points: 1: The shower in room 102 is a risk. It starts off scalding, remains scalding for a few minutes, then you get pleasantly hot for a while, then it turns scalding again. I mentioned after my first morning, requesting a room change. On my return I was told it had been fixed. It hadn't, I had the same problem on all eleven mornings. I didn't bother mentioning it again. Someone will get scalded though. 2: I arrived late and after checking in arranged for a friend to visit me for a while. The night porter point-blank refused to admit my friend who was only visiting for a short while anyway, not staying overnight. Most other hotels this is not a problem. They mentioned fire safety but if they take a note of the additional guest visiting, that's not a problem. I understand it's the hotel's policy but it felt rather antiquated and like I was staying at my parents' house, not a hotel. The attention I was given throughout my stay leaned towards the intrusive with comments like 'a late start this morning then' as I walked out past reception. 3: A more minor point but there is no hand soap provided, only the shower gel dispenser in the shower. So to wash your hands with soap, you have to twist, lean and stretch into the shower to get soap for your hands. I wouldn't book again.

Good stay overnight Overnight visit, hotel generally clean but showers need a little tlc
