I've stayed at The Abbey Sands several times now as the staff are always helpful and friendly and it's an excellent location and good value for money.
The rooms are well equipped and clean, although in general the decor is a bit tired and could do with a freshen up, especially the pool.
Great breakfast, and plenty of parking available.
Very clean rooms, well maintained hotel very close to the seafront. Close to all the amenities, so plenty to do. Great staff and totally dog friendly. Lovely place to stay and would stay there again

The room was small but clean though the carpet was stained. The bathroom was very clean , even the retro champagne coloured suite was spotless!! Breakfast was adequate but not much choice and only instant coffee. The staff tried their best to be helpful. There is a parking fee of £9 a day but no guaranteed space. This is a cheap rather tired hotel on a noisy main road, and you get what you pay for. Don’t expect too much They don’t serve food either which is annoying after a long journey to get there, and we really would have appreciated it

Before arriving at the property, I specifically asked whether I could have a quiet room. A member of staff responded that I would be given a room on the third floor.
The room itself was quiet, so initially I was pleased. However, the guests staying directly across the corridor had a dog, which started barking very early in the morning. As a result, getting any proper sleep was practically impossible.
I had specifically made the request for a quiet room in advance, so it was disappointing that the hotel did not take into consideration the possibility of placing me away from a room with a barking dog. The room itself may have been quiet, but the overall experience was far from restful.
We had a really nice stay at Abbey Sands Hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the location was brilliant, just a few seconds from the marina and lots of restaurants. Our room was spacious, tidy and the bed was comfortable. The cot for our baby was a lovely touch, and the bathroom was clean. We also enjoyed the bath!
The hotel is a little dated and there’s no lift, which was a bit challenging with a baby and luggage, especially in the hot weather. The room was quite warm, but a fan was provided. The indoor pool was great, although we didn’t get to use the outdoor pool as it was under maintenance.
Overall, a pleasant stay with a great location and lovely staff. With a few updates, it would be even better.
Lovely friendly staff, very good breakfast. Carpet in room 114 could do with cleaning or replacing. Great location and dog friendly. Couldn't really fault it though for the price and will stay again 😊.

Great location for main beach in Torquay and Tor Abbey which are within walking distance. Clean hotel with very welcoming staff. Breakfast choices were limited but there was plenty of food available. There is a bar but you may need to ask front desk staff to open it for you depending on the time. Similarly there is a big TV in the lounge but you may need help finding the remote. Plenty of parking although it is spread around the property and spaces are tight. I didn't use the L shaped pool but it looked clean. If you're looking for value for money near the main beach this is a good choice.
Went for one night . Really friendly staff and good location .
Room was Executive Double. Nice and spacious with chairs sofa and good view . Bed was clean and tidy . Just room was a little dated and worn in places.
Our room overall was clean but the bathroom was very dusty and the towel rail needed a good wash.
The dining room needed a deep clean, the chairs had ingrained food in crevices and the white plastic walling was grubby, there is a draped ceiling and the cloth is seriously dirty.
The breakfast was good and plentiful with proper orange juice.
We didn’t use the pool but went down and took a look and it looked nice but the doors leading down to it all needed a good clean
Only one night out of season. No complaints. It’s a good size hotel with a pool. Close to town and quiet.

Old hotel. We stayed in room 121. The room was quite smelly. Looked clean with modern bathroom and bath and shower. Taps need deep cleaning. Windows on restrictors so it was unbearably hot. Tiny fan for the size of the room. Sleep quality was very poor as the pillows like rock and the heat. Parking is £9 overnight. Close to the seafront. Breakfast is available but it was so hot I just wanted to get outside. Probably won't stay again. Chaps on reception were really lovely and helpful.
