Great hotel, lovely light airy family room with bunk beds that the kids loved. The room had a flat screen TV/DVD player and they have a fantastic DVD collection with all the latest films. Great central location. Thoroughly recommend. Booked for £69 for the room and breakfast for 2 adults, 2 children through laterooms. more

Just returned from 3 nights at the Palms Hotel Torquay on Babbacombe Road. We found out hosts were very friendly and helpful, pleasant surprise to be upgraded to a family room as we were not visiting at peak season, thanks for that, very kind of you. The hotel is very very clean, there are toys for the children to play... more

A very nice, friendly hotel with lots of good qualities. The rooms were clean and tidy and all en suite. There was a nice touch of including a mini fridge in the room and altohugh we didnt use this, if we were staying longer than one night it would have been great. The rooms are on the small side but... more

Clean and friendly hotel within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants.Both dog and teenage daughters were made very welcome. In high season parking anywhere near the hotel could prove difficult. more

After travelling over 8 hours to get to the Palm Hotel. I was deeply disappointed at the decor and dirtiness of the place. The lobby was dank and dark and it smelt dusty. The wallpaper was in the same style of the 1970's and looked as if it hadn't been changed since then. It was dirty. I cannot remember the... more

As this guest wishes to remain anonymous we actually wonder who he is? We note the date of February 13 when the review was written this means that the guest would have either stayed the previous week, Friday 11 or Saturday 12th. The Palms Hotel was closed over the winter period and did not reopen until Friday 11th of February;...

Very friendly hosts (who also booked a taxi for us and gave advice on the area) and lovely vegetarian breakfast. I liked the biscuits in the room! Beautiful garden leading up to the hotel. The games in the landing were a great touch. Very personal. more

well, for £28 a night like nearly $50/60. i can honestly say this was the worst hotel (if you can call it that) i have ever sayed at. Were not allowed to have any friends in the rooms, no talking after 11pm. no drinking alcohol, no late nights. Early lock ins. Insulting managers. Basically this place is a disgrace and... more

The guest who has complained invited 4 friends back to his room at 3am in the morning, after a night's drinking. They decided to carry on partying, playing music loudly, shouting etc. They woke up most of the other guests staying in our small hotel. They wouldn't open the door or talk to me. Eventually I opened the door with...
