Top English Riviera Hotel Reviews

The Imperial Torquay

8/10 Good

"The room was fairly clean although furniture has seen better days. Seafront views are spectacular. Hotel is a 10 minute walk to city centre which is nice if you want to try various places to eat, also there is a nice south west coast trail near by if you fancy a nice walk. The stay was relatively lovely although I would like to stay in other places with a seafront view if I’m to visit Torquay again"

Abbey Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our 3 night stay at The Abbey Sands Hotel was a comfortable and peaceful experience with a good breakfast. The staff are very pleasant and extremely helpful. Thank you for making our stay very pleasant."

Hotel Indigo Torquay by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is only about a year old so the building and all the fittings and furniture are in as-new condition. The staff were all cheerful and a delight to work with. The food was good both breakfast and the evening meals. The location right on the foreshore is attractive with lovely views of the sunrise but it is well away from the centre of Torquay. When I arrived Google maps had the location 300 metres too close to the main part of Torquay so you need to check this before setting a route."

Hampton by Hilton Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast with lots of choice. Room was clean and had everything you would need. Large carpark opposite hotel with lift to street level. Hotel sits behind the harbour but has a lift to the harbour side saving a longer walk to the shops and restaurants."

The Cliffden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking the sea. Also, lovely gardens."

"Lovely hotel and great staff. Will definitely stay again"

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location close to the seafront, the pier, the harbour, the parks, pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops, steam railway, train and bus station made it the perfect place to stay for a seaside holiday. I only ordered the breakfast, not evening meals, the dining room was nice and the food was very good. I recommend it."

The Headland Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Great location if you are fit. Fabulous room with a stunning view but a bit of a comedy bathroom. Breakfast was undoubtedly the best ever."
