Palace falling into disrepair.
Pros:

Easy parking. Restaurant and bar on site. Large facility. Interesting and unique history. Creator of singer sewing machine created this house as his personal home.

Cons:

The beds are extremely uncomfortable. Twin beds joined together by a hinge that wouldn’t latch, which causes a person to slip between the mattresses. Very hot in the room. A small fan, which could barely stand because the plastic base cracked and couldn’t hold the weight. Itchy stiff sheets. Good service is wonky. They have more than enough tables to seat over a hundred, but they keep reserved on all tables and I had to make a fuss to get seated by a window.

On se sent au pays d'Agatha CHRISTIE
Pros:

Dans sa globalité cet hôtel est un belle endroit chargé d'histoire et avec des espaces différents de toute beauté !
La piscine avec son Hammam et son sauna sont exceptionnels ! L'eau était à 26 degrés. Dommage que la partie spa ne fonctionnait pas.
Une salle de gym est à disposition avec de magnifiques équipements.
Le petit déjeuner est servi à table et c'est copieux.
Le repas du dîner est correct mais la carte reste peu varié.
On se gare très facilement et gratuitement.
L'accueil est parfait !

Cons:

La salle de bain est vieillotte.
Douche dans la baignoire.
Baignoire avec mauvaise évacuation et pas trop stable au delà de 60kg...

Moquette salle dans partie commune.

Le pire de tout c'est qu'à la date où nous sommes venus il y avait une fête foraine avec un niveau sonore insupportable !!! Et des travaux qui empêche la vue sur le front de mer.

2 jours sur place, c'est suffisant.

PALACE HOTEL
Pros:

Hi, we had a very nice stay. Great location of paignton town it's self, staff we found were really helpful and nice. The room we stay in, is a bit dated in decor, but we love that. The bed it's self was very comfortable. Really clean room. Plenty of places to sit down inside and out to relax and also parking in grounds car park is pretty to good. Over all i would stay he again.

Cons:

The only thing we found was the breakfast, continental was find but cooked breakfast was not best quality for the price.
