Perfect stay at The Grand

We stayed in the hotel, as we held our joint 50th party there. We stayed in a standard double room and found it to be clean and comfortable, and perfect for our needs. The breakfast was delicious, with a good amount of choice. All of the staff were professional and friendly.

The hotel is close to the railway station also has great views over the bay, the shower could of been warmer but otherwise a lovely stay
Paul, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Not as GRAND as it could be - just Standard

We booked a deluxe room with sea view, but it was only the view that was special, room was very basic, did not even get bottled water in the room, the shower curtain is very cheap and plastic so clings to you while you shower, breakfast was okay but lacked addition items we would expect from an expensive hotel, such as fresh fruit and sealed yogurts and jams. this is very much a standard provision hotel and not GRAND, other than the building the pathway to the entrance from the seafront should also be lit from the side of the hotel as this is not safe
COLIN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Faded grandeur

Time is relentless but they are trying hard to reverse its effects....The beds are amazing but why cant they wait the outside of the building....it would look amazing!

Excellent

We had an issue with our bath but it was very quickly resolved and we were moved to a nicer and bigger room. Have stayed here before with no issues love Torquay and this is where we would stay every time. My wife had a massage on one of the days and she thoroughly enjoy it and found it very relaxing.

Great stay, however a lot of the TV channels were missing and the reception kept breaking up. The carpark could do with some repair work.

Quick break away

Warm welcome, quick check in. Lovely, large area with comfortable settees to sit in and enjoy a view of the sea. Room (standard double) a reasonable size, comfortable bed. Bathroom was a little dated and the shower was tiny- would’ve been better to have an over the bath shower or my preference take the bath out and have a large walk in shower! Breakfast was quite good - good choice of hot and cold items but cheap orange juice. Lovely view of the sea while having breakfast. Tried to book the restaurant for an evening meal but couldn’t as the restaurant was at capacity and therefore the bistro was closed as well.
