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.

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.

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.

Great Hotel
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.

Happy to support historic buildings
The hotel is very handy from the railway station. The bar area was a delight to relax in, with the chap playing the baby grand.
The chairs are comfy but low for eating from (for me 5'4)
The restaurant is colourful and the breakfast was good.
I was in a room at the back of the hotel and the decor was simple, the room was fine though (i like the old furnitire) and warm enough for me (im a cold person) but maybe a little overpriced. The front rooms , with the views, may be more worth the money (but i was only for 1 night arriving late so no need for a view)
I would like to see refilled bottles for bathroom products rather than 'disposables'.
I liked the local art at affordable prices in the cabinets.

Short break between Christmas/New Year
We had a lovely view towards Torquay theatre & harbour from our room.
Breakfast was buffet style with hot & cold options.
We ate in the Brasserie/Compass Bar area for our evening meals. Food was not cheap, but it was delicious! Had the lightest sticky toffee pudding ever!
Room was a decent size with a shower over the bath. Tea & coffee making available in room/supplies refreshed.
Hotel was nicely decorated fir Christmas.
Staff were very helpful - thank you!

Very average
We stayed a few years ago and very much enjoyed the pool, hot tub, steam & sauna room. We didn’t realise that due to the fire in 2022 that the only thing remaining was the pool. The changing room was freezing and the pool freezing, someone mentioned they were painting in the day and had the doors open to dry the paint. Very disappointing. We would not come back again.

Disappointed
I have stayed here last year and it has gone downhill the furniture in the bedroom was scratched and worn, the TV reception was terrible.
Biggest disappointment was the breakfast at time I stayed there was a choice of menu freshly cooked this time help yourself that was one of the main reasons for staying there.
