The place feels a bit shabby in parts, especially the swimming pool area, but the staff are awesome and the sea view rooms are worth the upgrade. The place is ideal if you're arriving by train as it's right next door!

They need to advise that compact rooms are a distance from the lift. Room view was a concrete wall with no view of the sky. Reception staff were not very friendly. Breakfast was not available to order before 10 am in the bar not even a pot a tea even though the menu states breakfast can be order from 9.30. Dinner in the restaurant was nice. But they had run out of the ice cream for the dessert we wanted-which happens but the alternative did not complement the dessert. Overall we had a great time despite the decline of the grand hotel.

Room was very clean and quiet we had a great view. Breakfast was fine and the restaurant areas were clean and pleasant. Hotel needs a lick of paint outside, and probably some money spent. But overall the Grand Torquay is a perfectly adequate hotel in a good location especially if arriving by train.

Good stay overall

Overall very clean but ventilator in bathroom has not been cleaned for a while. Also areas around lampshades/bulbs not routinely cleaned. Breakfast and dinner options are excellent. Room comfort was excellent as well. Hotel location - excellent. Limited car parking space. It would be great if reception staff can offer advice around alternative parking options or more information provided when booking.
