Food is amazing. Large evening menu with delicious food. 6 courses for you to work through and you will be wanting to lick the plate after as not to waste any. Rooms tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Good quality toiletries affixed to the wall in the bathrooms (but may purchase from reception to take home). No hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in Torbay.

Have just had an enjoyable 6 night half board stay…read more Fantastic value with to and from coaching from the Midlands included plus a whole day coach excursion. Food was good, though fairly basic with limited choice, but with good sized portions and well cooked, service was first class with staff always helpful and friendly. The hotel a little run down with bedrooms in need of decoration and general refurbishment, but all the essentials in good order and clean, towels and bed linen brilliant white. Good functional TV provided plus tea making facilities with generous supplies. A well stocked bar with good entertainment was available, mostly bingo but never the less a happy atmosphere. One wall of the dining room covered with Thank- you cards and the guest book at reception full of favourable comment. If you are prepared to turn a blind eye to the scruffy bedroom décor, then this should prove an ideal location for a basic and cheap holiday break.

Not the best. We booked a suite after looking at the reviews on another website and were in for a…read morebit of a shock when we got there. The lobby is beautiful, the staff couldn't be nicer and more accommodating, but the room itself is just....bad. It's old-it smells, everything is minimal and out of date. It was huge, but we only had wifi if we were sitting on the bed. The balconies were closed and the toilets were the slowest flushing things in the world. Honestly? I wouldn't be back until the rooms get renovated. The hallways were gorgeous and was super excited about our room-but unfortunately it is stuck in 1970-and not in a nice way

Get into the room and the view is brilliant but it's really old fashioned and looks like it hasn't been done up in 30 years, the bed was very comfortable but i had a sense that the sheets were not fresh, breakfast in the morning was 30 minutes late and cold, they managed to make a few mistakes with the order and some of the food could of been sitting around for a week . The customer service was helpful but not very fast. Overall I think it's somewhere which needs a bit of a spruce up and a more organisation. Would recommend only if you can get a very good deal and a room with a view, apart from that you could try looking at other hotel, The other half of our group had a room on the bottom floor which they could not change. Their shower leaked and flooded the bathroom, they woke up to an infestation of Woodside and spiders in their bed and the breakfast was totally wrong and made them sick. We were able to get a small discount but nothing acceptable for the night they had. Awful experience for them

We enjoyed the modern interior and competent kitchen, especially as MC offers great value 2- or 3-course menus. There were five of us and we mixed a number of courses so we shared desserts with no issues. The kitchen was a little slow but we were hair with the quality of the food. Parking could be difficult in the front of the hotel but I found a car lot around the corner with pay and display.

The midsized rooms nice but a bit tight for space, and the rooms smaller than 226 square feet are really a no-go for couples. There is parking in the forecourt, subject to availability, and a great breakfast for only £10. However, what this hotel really has going for it is location. Right across from Exeter Central and close to the shopping district.

Yes, the room was a little warm and some of the other guests were a little loud (I think there was a school party in!) but what the hotel could control was really good. I agree that the hotel feels a little dated, but the duty manager showed us around the impressively refurbished (but at the time unopened) restaurant and informed us that the third floor was also being done up. The breakfast spread is pretty impressive and I found every member of the team professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

We were in room number 1 that overlooked the parking lot. The room itself is small yet equipped with a double bed, night tables, wardrobe, desk and chair. There's not a lot of room to move around... especially in the bathroom. I should note, there's no lift so if you've got a bit of luggage, consider staying on the first floor (which is only two flights of stairs). I will say, I was surprised by the breakfast which was included with our room. I expected a continental breakfast, which there was (and a quite extensive one at that) but it also included a full hot breakfast too. So while we ordered our Full English we were invited to help ourselves to the buffet. The selection was fresh and with such a wide variety, there was definitely something for everyone. I'm only knocking it down half a star because, even through I did book a compact room, it was way smaller than I had anticipated, however, the room was clean and the dining room, sunroom and pool area absolutely beautiful. I would definitely stay here again... just in a bigger room. :) 4.5 stars.

Highly recommended. Enjoyed a very pleasant week here…read more Very clean and well maintained hotel with an excellent breakfast.
