Premier Inn Paignton - Goodrington Sands

Great place to stay right on the beach so it was lovely to spend some time on the seafront, room was lovely and food was brilliant thank you

Average Premier Inn, it was fine but we've stayed in a lot better.

Breakfast was poor and the biggest let down of the stay. The food quality was average at best. There were no tongs for any of the buffet items like bread and pancakes so just rogue hands touching everything, dirty plates were stacked into the clean (accidentally I'd imagine, but still), and there was broken glass all over the glasses tray.

The room was fine, comfy bed and good heat/cool air con. They didn't provide us with enough towels or cups despite booking for 3 people.

The location is what sells this place. 15min stroll into Paignton harbour, and right on the beach.

Lovely seafront location

Helpful staff

Opening windows

Very clean

Onsite restaurant offering excellent food and drink

Disappointed, feels very tired and in need of some tlc. I actually live very local but needed to stay somewhere overnight for myself and autistic daughter. Location was perfect , beautiful sea view , but the room was disappointing stains on bed linen, no tea or coffee in the room , damp musty smell . The noise from above was very triggering for my daughter, sounded like a baby elephant walking around, plus noisy next door neighbour, I found the bed uncomfortable having rheumatoid arthritis, all in all it served a purpose but I wouldn’t return to this premier inn

Great little gem of Goodrington. We come every October half term and always enjoy our stay. Great location,buses to Brixham,Paignton and Torquay. Lovely beach and super staff!! Brewers Fayre is also fab with great breakfasts.

Just spent two week break at this hotel it’s a lovely location and all the staff are very helpful to your needs even the cleaning team, the manager Roy was most helpful on our last day accommodating a lot of our luggage whilst we waited for transport, we had a nice chat with him he runs a good ship with a good team so well done Roy.The restaurant staff was also brilliant and polite at all times we met Kiki our table server she made our holiday stay very pleasant, we highly recommend the hotel to stay it’s in a beautiful location with local buses just a short walk away to anywhere in the bay we will certainly tell friends to go for a break.and now there is a new Costa coffee shop there right by the water park which is great for morning coffee whilst you watch the dogs roaming about and they welcome dogs which is nice.

Great location good food.
Unfortunately bathroom smelt of urine.
Parking charges on top of stay price cost another £37.50.Out side requires face lift.

We stayed for one night in September. We had two rooms, one accessible room and one family room. The rooms were on different floors which was not great. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The accessible room was huge with a walk in shower.
We had no WiFi for our stay. Reception said they have had problems with it for months. They said there is sometimes more luck getting on outside! Frustrating not to have been told in advance as I could have planned.

Booked an accessible wet room for myself and my wife for the 18th September for 3 nights. When we arrived we were informed that our room was double booked and therefore not available. After a 200 mile drive we were so disappointed that we drove 200 mile home. On the morning of our arrival we were sent an email saying how much they were looking forward to seeing us. Both myself and my wife are disabled pensioners and we were treated absolutely shocking.

We would not stay there again, not friendly, unwelcoming. Our room was not ready on time, we had to wait over an hour for our room to be done. The food in the Brewers Fayre next door was lovely.

Firstly where & when did trip advisor get the photo of the hotel, it must be 10 years out of date & that's being kind, I don't think it's seen any outside maintenance for many years. The inside looks the same, very shabby, I've seen much better carpets in a skip.
Didn't see anything about the £7:50 PER NIGHT parking charge when we booked!
Room 2 was shabby, bathroom floor was filthy, looked like only the middle of the floor had been mopped since it was fitted.
Bed was comfy, linen was clean, overbath shower was good just watch out for the kettle! it's stainless steel outer shell with no insulation means if you accidentally touch it after it boiled you'll scold yourself..
Location is excellent as the torbay is beautiful.
Most of the staff where excellent but had to complain about various things, told to ask for the room to be cleaned if staying for more than one night, then told that staff had to many rooms to clean to service our room! But after complaining it was eventually done.
Booked meal deal for convenience and this was good but had to complain about extra charges added as the wording on the information sheet was unambiguous and misunderstood by the staff.
I have used premier sites for overnight stays many times but very disappointed with this one, we were staying for a number of days visiting relatives and attending a wedding and location suited our needs being on the bay but I wouldn't stay there if I'd known how shabby it was.
DISAPPOINTING LENNY HENRY! And That you advise for them...must have paid you well! 🤑😏

I expected the place to be in better condition, as it is fairly new. However, the bathroom was in very poor condition, with rusty fixtures, peeling paintwork, and dirty grout between the tiles. No matter how many times I tried, I could not get a permanent internet connection with the Wi-Fi. I was not aware of the £7.50 a day parking charge until after i had booked and paid for my stay. I had to go back to reception to replenish the tea, milk and sugar as only 4 of these were supplied for the 4 days i was staying.

Great location for kids right next to the water park and the beach. Close to plenty of restaurants and coffee place. The walk into Paignton is a little challenging (steep hill) for those of us in advanced years but the exercise is good. The staff were friendly and often run off their feet especially at breakfast time. We took the train but note that parking is chargeable at the hotel, £7.50 per day at time of writing. Food was good, decent prices for drinks. Our room was clean and tidy with a lovely sea view. Overall an enjoyable stay.

I received a parking charge made by Horizon for parking in the Premier Inn Goodrington hotel car park. The charge was for parking for two days from 8 July to 10 July. This is clearly a scam by Horizon. I turned in the car park on 8 July and again on 10 July when taking my grandson to the nearby water park. On both days I have receipts from Ringgo for parking in other car parks in Paignton and also for the hotel we were staying at in Torquay. Sadly this was an Avis hire car and they have paid the fine and are now hounding me for the amount paid. I am now getting red warning letters.

Despite multiple calls and emails with the hotel this charge has still not been cancelled. Avoid the hotel at all costs.

The hotel room was ok, could not open the window but air conditioning worked ok.
Unfortunately the big let down is the Brewers Fayre (whrlere breakfast is served) adjacent, not enough members of the team, tables left with empty plates, broken glass / plates. Staff seemed not to care
Not only was dirty but also looked very tired, needs to have a leadership team who care and also support to renovate

Fairly easy to find if you can follow Google Maps. Parking is good but a little confusing on what part belongs to the hotel.
The view was gorgeous, with a view of the beach from one room and the park from another.
It is very close to the waterpark (less than 5min walk) and Goodrington Sands beach (also less than 5min walk).
The staff are friendly, bar staff are patient and accomodating.
The WiFi is not very good at all and data usage is hard as reception is not very good.
Overall it was a pleasant stay for 3 nights.

Although the staff were excellent; thoughtful, helpful and courteous, the building, rooms, beds, and decor looked very very tired, overused and unappealing.
If you add to this we had to pay for our parking and Wi-Fi access on top of our room at £133 for one night without breakfast, I thought the overall stay was not good value for money. I would not recommend it.

Great place and lovely staff, perfect location and great food options , awesome place with the beach a few feet away and a massive green to the side
We love coming here but it really does need some house keeping in the terrace we have been every year for the last 5 years and never seen it clean always rubbish on the floor , tables left uncleaned and ashtrays all over ! Putting that aside it is a brilliant spot

Don't do the 'upgrade' to a 'meal deal' as it will cost over double!

When I stay in a Premier inn with my young son, I always Pre pay for breakfast, as it's a super deal as kids eat free, and £10.99 for us both to have unlimited breakfast is great!
On our first evening, at reception I paid an additional £16 to upgrade to include dinner and a drink. I paid for my sons meal seperately at the bar.
As this had worked out so well, we repeated this process for our second night !
After checking out - I was then CHARGED £64 for 2 meal deals - which I had already paid for ! It's now a week later and I still have not got my money back. The hotel itself is super, as it's such a PERFECT location. But in the unlikely event we did ever go back - I would never ever get involved with any form of meal 'deal' !
Sadly as the money was taken without my consent, I was then unable to meet some of my other payment deadlines.
The premier inn customer service team have been fairly helpful on the phone and I have been assured that I will get a refund - (eventually) , But I am still heartbroken that I was charged for something I had ALREADY paid for !!!!

Hotel was ok, im not a fan of paying to park your car at a hotel youre staying at . Wifi and air con were both very poor, with a hot and stuffy room.
Room could have been cleaned better before we arrived. Hotel located on the beach and overall we enjoyed our stay. We were sent an email saying we could possibly check in for 11am, but the receptionist wouldnt allow it.
