Top Paignton Hotel Reviews

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"The room was comfortable. The bathroom was a little tired but ok. Staff were helpful I didn't eat in so can't comment to about food. Just used the hotel as a place to sleep. Parking was very useful and seemed secure. Would stay again."

The Devon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel and staff were wonderful! Food in the restaurant was also great and we shared a number of starters which had a lovely Greek twist the pomegranate dressing on the halloumi was exceptional Easy access to major routes and the city so a good spot for visiting Exeter."

The Imperial Torquay

10/10 Excellent

"Very good service all staff very helpful and pleasant"

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"A comfortable stay, aided by use of a fan in the room which was needed because no air con in room and windows have security latches so only opens minimally. Nice welcome and every staff member we spoke to was courteous and friendly. Benefit of parking in the car park for just £6 a day was definitely an added bonus. Minimal cleanliness issues, scuffed paintwork and slightly dated furniture. One thing that is definitely needed is clean windows..we had a seaview room which was great but the windows were so dirty, inside and out so the view was pointless tbh. So overall would stay again if in the area"

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was brilliant but noticed on 2nd day in the swimming pool was full of personal hair and water appeared cloudy , although facilities were good in the pool area."

Ibis Styles Paignton

"excellent location clean and tidy"

The Goodrington Sands- Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, next to a lovely park by the beach. Our room was spotless and we even had a little seating area outside our room. Lovely and quiet at night. Parking was the trickiest bit in terms of getting luggage to/from the car park (a 7-8 minute walk) but we'd only gone for a night so we were able to do it all in one go."

Torbay Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a quiet location yet you can reach the town centre by foot fairly quickly by walking through Victoria Park. My single room had a new bathroom and a view from the window. I was impressed by the spacious dining room where I had my breakfasts which were prepared especially for me. The TV in my room was newish and worked well."

St Weonards Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Very clean. Breakfast was one of the best I've had. Will definitely stay again. Hairdryer and straighteners in the room,also fan and shower gel in bathroom."
