"The advert on the hotels.com website did not match the facts of the stay. The advert states free parking it was not it cost me £30 for the stay. We spoke to the owner who stated that the advert was not placed by him. It was the fault of hotels.com as he does not use them you get your info from a 3rd party All I know is that I am £30 out of pocket. The stay was good as I can not blame hotels.com for all the rain."

The Grand Hotel

"Reception and bar area was spotless room could have done with a lick of paint staff excellent."

Marine Hotel Paignton

8/10 Good

"The room was basic but comfortable, the shower was very small and the pressure of the water was not great. The housekeeping was excellent no fault whatsoever. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good."

Amber House

10/10 Excellent

"My second time staying at Amber House and it will be my go-to whenever I am visiting Paignton. The owners are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The room I had overlooked the back garden and it was very clean and private. Very lovely stay all the way around. Highly recommend Amber House-close to the beach, the train station, Paignton Harbour, and High street and the owners are very personable and the breakfast is just what you need to start the day right. Great value too!"

The Goodrington Sands- Apart Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, very clean and stylish in design, excellent communication with property owners. My only criticism would be that it would benefit from a small desk or chest of drawers in the room and a TV guide for those who aren’t tech savvy. I did had trouble getting the shower to work but after exploring found a switch in the main room which was turned off that powered the shower. However that being said we would return and recommend this property."
