Loved by The Grand Hotel guests
"All the staff were great and you got a real feeling of old time opulence with piano being played in the evening in the relaxed bar."
"We stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments with sea views from one side of Torquay harbour to the other of Berry Head which made it so special."
"Absolutely over the moon the hotel is lovely very festive friendly staff we have had a lovely stay so far we commented on the heating being over hot but apart from that we have been upgraded to a sea view room which is gorgeous"

“The Victorian architecture certainly makes a striking first impression, and many rooms take full advantage of the seaside location with views over Torbay. I noted that the in-house spa uses Sea Magik treatments and there are multiple dining options, including the 1881 Restaurant. It's a solid choice if you're looking for a blend of historical charm and coastal relaxation.”

The location was great.. right next to the train station.
The rooms need a complete refurbishment. The toilet and sinks were low and very dated. The room decor was a mixture of eras. Nothing matched.

My room faced the kitchen, and the constant noise and smells from the extractor fans were a major distraction. This significantly affected my ability to relax.
