The environment, staffs , the hotel is near the seaside and it’s amazing
A great place to stay in Torquay. Across the road from the beach and a short walk into town. Nice room and really good food in the restaurant, the breakfast is also very nice.
We arrived at the Grand ,the check in went smoothly and the staff was very pleasant and helpful.
Our room was very clean , and had a sea view.
We didn't use the pool but it looked very inviting.
We had breakfast and a evening meal which was absolutely delicious, could not fault anything .
The location was great with beautiful views of the bay .
We will definitely stay here again , we highly recommend The Grand Hotel .
Room clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly, helpful and professional. Food delicious and generous servings

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Hotel and staff lovely. Some parts of the hotel are tired. The radiator in the bathroom was on constantly it’s been a hot few days. Would definitely return it’s in a good location and the amenities in the hotel are excellent with an indoor and outdoor pool. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
Amazing stay !!! The room was large with a beautiful seaview.
Breakfast was perfect and we ate in The Brasserie two evenings in a row and the food was excellent. Can recommend the Grand Burger !
I had a leg treatment/ massage by Jamie in the spa which was perfect and just what I needed. Thank you Jamie !
Will definitely return to The Grand
The hotel has amazing character and suits those looking to experience British history! Super friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and quite out there interior design vs the boring modern hotels.
The poached eggs with the breakfast were also some of the best I have ever had.
