The hotel is in a great location next to the train station and only a short work in to town. The room was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfy and we had a great nights sleep.
Jamie, 1-night trip

We had a wonderful stay at The Grand Hotel, we had our 11 month old puppy with us too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would like to make a special mention to the restaurant staff as we had dinner on Saturday evening in the dog friendly part of the bar and were well looked after. Thank you once again for making our stay so enjoyable.

Worth upgrading to have a sea view because the original room had no view at all and was dark.

A Grand Stay in the Grand Hotel

Very helpful, friendly staff, delicious food, luxurious hotel, loved my huge room and bathroom (best shower ever!), parking available on the street and in the garage, and on the seafront, about 10 minutes walk into town. Brilliant experience.

A trusted hotel

Service has improved a lot at The Grand. The hotel is a little tired and my room smelt musty and had stains on the carpet, despite being one of the renovated rooms. The location is ideal, being close to the railway station. The bed was very comfortable and Ligo in the restaurant was extremely helpful at breakfast. I stay every year and check in was much better this year, with my room being available on arrival.

Right on the beach and a lovely walk to the seafront and town centre of Torquay. Outdoor pool is heated and an absolute delight. Staff sweet and friendly. Gym a little dated but great to keep on top of fitness.

The Grand supported our needs and promptly handled any miscommunication that came up. The spa is worth your time and the staff were courteous & friendly. Events did mean we couldn't enjoy all the facilities but alternate activities were found and enjoyed.

Faded glamour

Glamorous hotel, faded in places and could do with a little refurb in the bedroom corridors and around the pool, but we had a lovely stay, the facilities are great and our room was well-appointed. Great location, right next to the station and lovely view of Torquay. We will definitely return.

Teresa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Old place near station. Somewhat elegant.

Nicely appointed room, and common spaces. Could see the bay from my window. WiFi in my room, 427, was marginal. The bathtub is unusable as it is against the slope of the Mansard, you can not stand up in the bath, either to shower or get in or out.
