Paignton Seafront (Goodrington Sands) Hotel

Nach kurzer Wartezeit (typisch britisch: gut organisiert) bekamen wir am stark frequentierten Freitag abend einen Tisch. Das Essen war lecker, die Getränkeauswahl O.K. (natürlich nicht so umfangreich wie in einem klassischen Pub). Service sehr gut. Da direkt am Strand gelegen, könnte man auch längere Wartezeiten gut überbrücken (man wird über einen Funkempfänger benachrichtigt, wenn ein Tisch frei ist).

Ich war mit meinen zwei Kindern für eine Nacht im Hotel Premier Inn in Paignton und kann nur positives berichten. Ich habe schon im Winter ein Familienzimmer gebucht, und das Zimmer war wirklich gross. Genug Platz für all unser Gepäck, ein Schreibtisch und diverse Ablagen war vorhanden. Durchs Fenster konnte man den Kanal sehen, für die Kinder war es wie Ferien am Meer. Freundlicher Empfang an der Rezeption, ein Parkplatz direkt beim Hotel, was will am als Familienvater mehr. Das Frühstück war wie in allen Premier Inns üppig, kalte und warme Speisen, verschiedene Brote, Säfte und Jogurts, Eier in allen Variationen. Kurz gesagt, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wir fanden es schade, mussten wir wegen unserer Reisepläne nach einer Nacht abreisen. Ich kann dieses Hotel wirklich empfehlen, ich weiss jetzt auch, warum man die Gegend die englische Riviera nennt. Es ist wunderschön da. Wir müssen wiederkommen.

We recently stayed here for an overnight stop and would not choose to return. On arrival we found the staff to be unhelpful and at times rude. The room itself was small, with a small bed and only one bath towel provided for two guests. The hotel overall felt tired, grubby and not particularly clean in places. The WiFi was poor and soundproofing was almost non-existent. We were woken early by noise from kegs being dragged and bottles being emptied from around 7am, making it difficult to get any decent rest. The adjoining pub/restaurant was also disappointing; very expensive for the extremely poor quality food served and the general standard of cleanliness. Please note there is no lift which, whilst not an issue for us, may be problematic for other guests with luggage or mobility issues. Guests are also charged £7.50 for parking, which felt excessive given the overall standard of the stay. Overall, this Premier Inn did not meet the standards we would expect and we will therefore not stay here again.

Loved the Inn on the Quay. The location is brilliant and lives up to its name (the sea is wonderfully close), the food tasty, good and plentiful, and the staff really friendly and efficient. Plus, as someone on crutches, I *loved* that our accessible room had a lowered bath. It made *such* a difference to our/my stay just to able to use the room without any worries.

Still love this premier inn,it gets the brilliant reviews for it's position alone. Rooms are really good, don't agree with having to ask for a cleaner, bins should be cleaned and beds made up daily. Didn't see a cleaner in 3 days. Breakfast was perfect, again short of staff in the dining rooms,Andrew was brilliant and so pleasant but shouldn't be doing the work of two people, although he did it with a smile and never complained. Outside areas are in need of a good tidy and paint,looks very run down ,maybe due to the selling of the restaurants
