Hampton By Hilton Torquay

The fact that this is only a 3 star hotel shocked both myself and my partner. The staff were all very helpful (albeit some seemed to have left their smiles at home), one of the women who worked downstairs at breakfast (I believe her name is Michelle) is a great asset to the hotel. She is very polite, smiley, greets all the guests when she sees them coming down for breakfast and I noticed she helped the older guests when it came to getting their plates and trays to their tables. It's the little things that stand out and she was great with everything! The rooms were clean, well looked after and spacious. The AC and heating worked very well and was simple and easy to understand. If you are a food lover like me, you'll love the breakfast selection. They offer a cooked breakfast as well as continental items, fruits, yogurts and waffles! They also have a machine with orange and apple juice as well as coffees and a wide selection of teas. It was all really good and tasty and kept topped up frequently! They also have a snack menu which is 24/7 and reasonably priced. We paid slightly extra for a room with a view of the harbour and it did not disappoint at all. Beautiful views! The location of the hotel Is perfect as they have a lift that will take you straight down to the other side of the hotel which comes out on the main road by the harbour. There are two carparks within walking distance. We parked at The Harbour Carpark which is the closets and is below the premier inn carpark (easy to miss if you're unaware), there is a lift in the carpark which takes you down to the road and the Hampton is situated on the other side of the road.

We liked this hotel, it’s modern and well located. We especially liked the lift down to the harbour. Security is good and it has a pleasant bar, dining area. Rooms are spacious and the bathrooms well appointed with excellent showers. Benefited from air conditioner during the night.

The room was perfect as I chose and paid extra for this room, I booked the queen room with harbour view,all facilities were very good in the room the location of the hotel was perfect.

Lovely clean comfortable hotel in a fantastic location. Buffet breakfast was so tasty with a nice selection of cooked and continental food. Lots of seating area available throughout the dining, bar and reception area. 24 hour food available We went 3 weeks before Christmas and the hotel was decorated beautifully with lots of trees and lights. There is a nice little play area at the reception for toddlers. The hotel had a lovely feel to it and the lifts worked great. Beds were comfortable. Room had a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Slightly more expensive than other hotels in torquay but definitely worth it.

Very good modern hotel conveniently located just above harbour with pub car park close by. Room was large and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
