Let down by the breakfast.
The room was fine, clean, well maintained. The staff were attentive and cheerful. Dinner was tasty but the menu had only very limited daily change. If we had stayed longer than our two nights it would have been boring. The hotel was let down by the breakfast. The fresh fruit salad was going brown, the hash browns and sausages were hardly edible. The fried eggs were only half cooked. All the hot food was barely warm. There was no teapot provided. Indeed on one morning there were no saucers provided. In over 50 years of staying in hotels here and abroad I think that this was the worst breakfast offering that I had experienced.

Not so Grand.
It was a seaside hotel built in the 19th century, I'm guessing the last revamp was in the 1980's. It was sadly about what I expected when booking and paying for the luxury of its position. Tired, with a fantastic location. The pool looked good (but not tested), spectacular view. The bathroom in the room I had was almost at the point of dangerous if you wanted a shower.

When we arrived we thought we had the wrong hotel as the outside was so worn down looking compared to the photos online It was my first Anniversary treat to my Wife and I literally cannot put into words how disappointed I am. Our first room the carpets were stained, pillows were stained, wallpaper peeling off the walls and it smelt awful. We were given another room we later came across stains on the shower curtain, dirt on bath tiles, the bottom of the toilet was awful, the toilet brush was brown. We asked to have our room cleaned later on Sunday as we over slept. Went out came back late and nothing had been done. No bins emptied, clean towels, floor wasn't hoovered once. The amount of times I had to speak to reception I was too embarrassed to say anything else. We have taken pictures of everything and hot tap was broken, cold tap ran hot. From what was advertised I was immensely disappointed.

Five Star's! Excellent!!
We were lucky enough to extend our trip for an extra night and we only had to move into the room next door. No balcony but again a lovely spacious room with big windows overlooking the sea and pool. I can only give this beautiful hotel and it's staff a five star review!! We have booked again to return for a 3 night stay in November to watch the fireworks at Brixham and hopefully we can add on a couple of extra days if there's room. Top quality and Highly recommended!! The best Hotel in Torquay!!

Another fantastic stay at The Grand Hotel in Torquay. We booked a standard double room with a sea view and a balcony. Excellent room and cleanliness. The view from the balcony was lovely and the facilities in the hotel are perfect with an indoor and outdoor pool and spa. The staff were brilliant and we can't wait to come back again!! 5star in my eyes!! Thank you all for a wonderful stay and we hope to come back soon.

Grand in name only!
Tired and outdated room and bathroom. We had a balcony but didn't use as it was very dirty. Staff all very helpful at breakfast and also the cleaning staff did a good job. We booked the hotel for the pools. The pool area and changing rooms again tired and very dated. We were there in August and the weather was warm the rooms have no AC. We could open the window but as we had a Seaview room the traffic woke us up in the night and one night there was a wedding at the hotel and the wedding party was standing just outside our window drinking and talking loudly. I would not recommend and come again if interior still dated.
