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.

Breakfast was excellent and varied, staff friendly and helpful and decor cheerful. The location was close to a bus stop with frequent services connecting towns and beaches along the Riviera. Bars and restaurants were just a short stroll from the property.

Extremely friendly staff! Just want to point two of them, they were amazing! We had someone called Lizzie who clean up our room during our stay! She is absolutely amazing! BIG THANK YOU! At the reception area we had huge help from Valentin! BIG THANK YOU! This two they really need some recognition for the professionalism they doing the job. Very clean everywhere, stunning I can say. Breakfast absolutely delicious and enough food for everyone. The coffee also very very good!

The room was comfortable. It was a Queen room, but we really needed a King room or an accessible room as my wife is in a wheelchair. It was just a bit small for us. The breakfast was very good, I enjoyed it for the three days we were there. The four cheese pizza was very good. The room had a small fridge, very small wardrobe, but good size tv. Very clean surfaces, but carpet could do with a shampoo.
