Top Paignton Hotel Reviews

The Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was brilliant but noticed on 2nd day in the swimming pool was full of personal hair and water appeared cloudy , although facilities were good in the pool area."

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the staff were very helpful. Hotel was in a great location, right on the beach! The amenities weren’t as advertised. The snooker table couldn’t be used as the cues were broken as were the pockets. Also didn’t see any sign of any board games unless I was looking in the wrong place, but they weren’t obvious! The room although clean and tidy was very small. You couldn’t easily bend down in the shower cubicle. Also I couldn’t get the soap dispensers to work. The sink in the bathroom was also too small and the shelf was in the way!! You couldn’t put water in your face without water going on the floor!"

Ibis Styles Paignton

"excellent location clean and tidy"

The Goodrington Sands- Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, next to a lovely park by the beach. Our room was spotless and we even had a little seating area outside our room. Lovely and quiet at night. Parking was the trickiest bit in terms of getting luggage to/from the car park (a 7-8 minute walk) but we'd only gone for a night so we were able to do it all in one go."

The Devon Hotel

"This is a great hotel as it is on the outskirts of Exeter so you don’t have to drive into the busy city and it has free parking. The rooms are well maintained and the staff are lovely."

"The hotel is in a quiet location yet you can reach the town centre by foot fairly quickly by walking through Victoria Park. My single room had a new bathroom and a view from the window. I was impressed by the spacious dining room where I had my breakfasts which were prepared especially for me. The TV in my room was newish and worked well."

St Weonards Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Very clean. Breakfast was one of the best I've had. Will definitely stay again. Hairdryer and straighteners in the room,also fan and shower gel in bathroom."

Mercure Paignton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Large clean room with sofa bed and a double bed. Small fridge and hairdryer. Large bathroom with shower, sink and toilet. Shower floods bathroom everytime due to not having a door/screen to floor meaning you have to use 3 towels on floor to stop this, bad design in my opinion. Breakfast was your normal buffet restaurant, nit a lot of gluten free options avaliable, asked for some gluten free bread and was handed one small slice. Hotel close to beach, and town so great location. Not enough parking for such a large hotel we had to park miles down the road in a side road."
