"Good Location "

Good location as it’s a nice walk to local restaurants and to Torquay Harbour. 3 nights spent here and it’s been said before the hotel car parking (£3.50 a night)is hit and miss but we found a space luckily for each night but saw a few people who couldn’t. Downside for us at this Premier inn was our room (116) opposite the lift, overlooking an external fire escape and it being on the small size with a small double bed and small TV. The bathroom had mould on the ceiling and tiles, no doubt due to the non existing extractor fan which would’ve helped when showering. Having said all of the above regarding the room it didn’t spoil the break as we were out all day and it was ok for sleeping and showering. The Covid precautions were good, no cleaning of the room but if you needed coffee, tea, milk etc Reception would give you plenty of these.

"The food was good, the staff amazing"

A single night stayover with a mate as he was picking up his new car from Exeter the following day. To be honest we didn't do the resort any favours as we had no time to explore but the location of the hotel was great. It's a large hotel so difficult to be exceptional but the staff team were. The young chap behind the bar got us settled in on the Sunday night and kept the supplies flowing then ably taken over by Martyr who was incredibly helpful and responsive as the beers and wine continued. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Lockdown meant an early night but we made it to the finishing line and to our rooms. The following morning was checkout time. The young lady on reception (Monday) was really friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a wait for our table but in these times its no-ones fault. However, once we were at our table it was ours for the duration. An extensive selection on offer and nothing was too much trouble for our bright red/copper haired waitress who had moved down from Buxton. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. A great place to stay.

"Weekend break"

Would usually give this hotel at least 4 stars as have stayed here on many occasions over the years. On a positive note, the hotel is very clean throughout and very covid safe with all the necessary measures in place, most of the staff are very friendly and helpful and the location is perfect for exploring the area and close to nice restaurants and bars, also very close to beach as hotel is on the seafront, so the location is perfect. Also beefeater restaurant and bar on site and very nice and comfortable. Now on to the disappointing bits, the lift was out of service and had apparently been for at least four days so thankfully our room was on the first floor although as my husband and I both have knee and back problems it didnt help us having to lug our luggage up a steep flight of stairs. Also disappointed that the staff made no mention of this on checking in and didnt offer any other options to help, actually making a joke of it. I was also very disappointed with our room as it was the smallest double room I have ever seen in a premier inn, with the smallest TV too, I did think about asking to change but as I asked if we could have a seaview room if possible I thought this was why we got that particular room ( although you had to strain your neck to actually see any of the sea) Another point I would like to make is the fact that last orders were called at 915 which I get because of the 10 pm curfew but as we were staying at the hotel I thought maybe we could have been served when I asked at 935 and refused by the bar staff, as could have taken up to the room, but suppose they are sticking to the rules.

"Couldn't get a drink "

To order a drink you need the app. I don't have the app. As they are owned by Whitbread I downloaded that app. Only works on older phones. Download it on my partner's phone. Now I can access the beefeater menus. No way to order food or drinks!!!!! Gave up and spent our money elsewhere. Bloody useless place.

"2 night break"

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights.after reading some of the reviews we did not know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised.Check in was quick .We were allocated a room in the annex which was very big extremely clean with a fantastic sea view.TV a bit small for the size of the room.Parking may be a problem but we found a space no problem. All the staff we came across were very helpful and pleasant.We asked for extra pillows coffee etc which we collected from reception with no problem.Masks and social distance in place through out. We booked a meal deal for our stay which was good value.The food in the Beefeater was good and the staff were very pleasant and helpfull. all in all we had a great stay and weve learned not to believe all you read.Would definately go back.

Hotel description Thanks to its seafront setting, Premier Inn Torquay Seafront is the perfect spot for scenic short breaks in Devon. As well as being right on the coastline, you'll find plenty of exciting things to do nearby, from visiting the animals at Paignton Zoo, to exploring the underground caves at Kents Cavern. Plus, couples and families alike will love the rides and amusements on Paignton Pier. There's two parts to the Premier Inn Torquay hotel - the historic building, and the modern annexe, which are connected to each other by a short, covered walkway. Whichever section you're staying in, though, you can look forward to delicious meals in our tasty Beefeater restaurant, before relaxing in an extra-comfy bed.
