Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Right at the heart of beautiful Torquay, the Torbay Hotel benefits from stunning views over the lovely harbour. The hotel can be summed up as, ‘grand features in warm surroundings,’ and includes front-facing rooms with modern facilities – the Premier and Superior rooms with sea views are particularly desirable. It has a large ballroom, two bars, an indoor heated swimming pool and a sun terrace. The hotel is also within easy walking distance of the town centre’s shops, boutiques and restaurants. After two years of extensive restoration Royal Terrace Gardens (aka “Rock Walk”) has been returned to its former glory with a modern day twist. Located just next to the Torbay Hotel, Rock Walk offers spectacular views across the bay, and at night when it is beautifully lit up, it makes for the perfect evening stroll. ... more less

Car parking is £5.00 a day and £20.00 returnable deposit, the downside is you have to unload your luggage outside the... More

“Excellent”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

On a four day bowling break with a coach tour, everthing was excellent from the staff food entertainment. Stayed in room 301 quiet, obviously has been refurbished recently it was first class. Located right in the centre! Strongly recommend this hotel, maybe need to research car parking but NCP car park near.

After not being able to book our usual Torquay stay due to the Bank Holiday weekend my daughter and I opted (reluctantly) for the Torbay. I say reluctantly as we paid far more than usual so expected something very special. Special it was not! We have no complaints about our room - it was large and clean, and the beds... More

With trepidation we went to our room allocated at the Torbay and were very pleased with how large it was. It was only a few minutes later we... More
