Pros:

Nice and cheap

Cons:

It just needs some TLC, the fittings and furnishings are dated, it needs a make over and, constant banging of flipping doors, sort out the door closers properly. My room smelt of some kind of cleaning product for 2 days which I didn't like. No wifi in the room either, the cold water tap seemed to to be working well, it's either completely on or completely off, trying to get the right temperature was a nightmare. Maybe some hanging hooks wouldn't go a miss either.

This is the best hotel you can get for the money in Torquay. Definitely worth booking.
Pros:

I have stayed in this hotel many times. I love the charm of the old building. Its only a short walk into town, so perfect for a weekend break. The breakfast is good, and overall its a very budget friendly hotel.

Cons:

The hotel is a bit tired, but that is reflected in the price.

I would avoid this place in the future
Pros:

Location and price

Cons:

There was no heating and it was very cold in the room. Asked if they could fix it or anything and they said is the management’s decision not to switch it on. Also too many stairs to get to my room going up and down, doing this with too much luggage was really difficult. Entrance door too narrow struggling with the luggage through it. The corridors smelled as if someone has been smoking weed. At nights they would have some entertainment which I could hear from my room. Really unpleasant experience.
