Stay was very enjoyable! Jackie in the lounge was exceptional. She went over and beyond to help us! The bathroom was very poorly lit. Our view was stunning and Sophie at reception made that a reality for us.

Not so Grand.
It was a seaside hotel built in the 19th century, I'm guessing the last revamp was in the 1980's. It was sadly about what I expected when booking and paying for the luxury of its position. Tired, with a fantastic location. The pool looked good (but not tested), spectacular view. The bathroom in the room I had was almost at the point of dangerous if you wanted a shower.

When we arrived we thought we had the wrong hotel as the outside was so worn down looking compared to the photos online It was my first Anniversary treat to my Wife and I literally cannot put into words how disappointed I am. Our first room the carpets were stained, pillows were stained, wallpaper peeling off the walls and it smelt awful. We were given another room we later came across stains on the shower curtain, dirt on bath tiles, the bottom of the toilet was awful, the toilet brush was brown. We asked to have our room cleaned later on Sunday as we over slept. Went out came back late and nothing had been done. No bins emptied, clean towels, floor wasn't hoovered once. The amount of times I had to speak to reception I was too embarrassed to say anything else. We have taken pictures of everything and hot tap was broken, cold tap ran hot. From what was advertised I was immensely disappointed.

Five Star's! Excellent!!
We were lucky enough to extend our trip for an extra night and we only had to move into the room next door. No balcony but again a lovely spacious room with big windows overlooking the sea and pool. I can only give this beautiful hotel and it's staff a five star review!! We have booked again to return for a 3 night stay in November to watch the fireworks at Brixham and hopefully we can add on a couple of extra days if there's room. Top quality and Highly recommended!! The best Hotel in Torquay!!

Excellent Hotel!! First class!!
Another fantastic stay at The Grand Hotel in Torquay. We booked a standard double room with a sea view and a balcony. Excellent room and cleanliness. The view from the balcony was lovely and the facilities in the hotel are perfect with an indoor and outdoor pool and spa. The staff were brilliant and we can't wait to come back again!! 5star in my eyes!! Thank you all for a wonderful stay and we hope to come back soon.

Grand in name only!
Tired and outdated room and bathroom. We had a balcony but didn't use as it was very dirty. Staff all very helpful at breakfast and also the cleaning staff did a good job. We booked the hotel for the pools. The pool area and changing rooms again tired and very dated. We were there in August and the weather was warm the rooms have no AC. We could open the window but as we had a Seaview room the traffic woke us up in the night and one night there was a wedding at the hotel and the wedding party was standing just outside our window drinking and talking loudly. I would not recommend and come again if interior still dated.

Its been many years since staying at the Hotel, certainly has aged. Room was tired, not the cleanest, and a little shabby. Tv didn't work properly and water pressure was low. The room at the back of the Hotel was noisy, view from window was onto brickwork. What was good was the receptionist, excellent customer service. The bar was friendly and efficient, food was ok, but a little expensive for what it was. Bar selection was exceptional, good value and great service. Overall, not awful, but remember how wonderful this hotel used to be.
