8/10 Good
"The Grand Hotel is a historic property with excellent staff and great food, and it's very handy if you're travelling by rail to or from the adjacent Torquay station. The recent renovation of the indoor pool, changing rooms and spa facilities was long overdue and provides a now clean and welcoming experience, although the arrangement remains sub-optimal from a hygiene perspective with guests and staff having to walk poolside wearing shoes to access the changing rooms. The lobby and bar area are well-appointed and welcoming, the restaurant serves fantastic food but is somewhat shabby with dated decor and fittings. The breakfast buffet is extensive with everything you could imagine, and even includes a gluten free section. On the upper floors, the rooms, corridors and staircases remain very dated, with 1980s bathrooms, peeling window frames, and old radiators. Some updates to furniture, interior decoration and modern TV sets do little to offset the sense that this a dated property long overdue for comprehensive refurbishment. One of the two lifts was out of service for the duration of our stay. Nevertheless this is a very welcoming and pleasant place to stay, and the pool/spa facilities are perfectly decent following the recent works. It's also great value, and I suspect that if it were comprehensively renovated to contemporary 4 star expectations I would probably not be able to afford it!"

"We had booked a double room with a sea-view. On arrival we were disappointed with the room as the bed was only a standard double size, which few hotels have these days and which was not clear to us when booking (though perhaps we assumed wrongly). This room was also a bit small for our taste and expectations, and it wasn't even the smallest size we could have booked (which would have been the "cozy double") so I can't image how "cozy" that would be. Annaya on reception was very patient with us and helpful in upgrading us to a larger room (at a price). And once we had upgraded we were very happy with the room and the view. The hotel has an aura of internal grandeur consistent with some of its celebrated past guests but is perhaps showing its age in terms of its exterior decor. It is only a short walk from the buzz of Torquay harbour. The breakfast buffet provided a good choice, with some nice touches (e.g. overnight oats with banana) but we found that from 9am it was quite busy and as a result they were unable to handle food requests such as poached eggs or eggs benedict. We enjoyed our visit and a special mention should go to Annaya and Callum on reception who were both polite, helpful and professional in all our interactions and issues. We would consider coming again. A tip: We were definitely happy we had paid for a sea-view room as the rooms at the back of the hotel have a limited inland view. Also note you have to pay £10 per night parking, which is annoying."
