The room was sea view right next to the ocean. No parking available but we parked overnight in the seafront parking for just £11 and could clearly see our car from our room. The hotel is unstaffed and this was strange to us. We were given a pin code to access our room which we received the details of in an email. It wasn't a bad room for what we paid. We simply wanted somewhere to sleep at the end of our day. I wasn't expecting anything special so wasn't disappointed at all. It was clean enough to feel comfortable in. (I've been to homes dirtier than there) so I thought it was quite clean enough. There were meant to be towels in our room but they were not there, however we were lucky enough to have brought our own anyway. No biggie. Personally, we got what we paid for (not luxury just budget) and have no complaints at all. !

If u don't like stairs u should ask for lower floor. The hotel is pretty big and we were top floor with the lift not working, plenty of stairs and my knees aren't the best. I failed to make this request but I managed.

Great location on the front line by the sea front but also near the centre and not far from the station. Check in instructions were sent and worked fine. The room was fine initially we didn't have towels but we sent a message and when we came back in the evening they were in the room. Shower was great. Was quiet in the room the night we stayed. There is a nice front garden space with benches where you can sit. For the price it was more than good value.

It was fine for what we expected for the price, a private en suite room. Don't expect breakfast/ a bar/ entertainment it's not that kind of place but there is so much around the area. I wouldn't say it's somewhere to bring the family as there are some hanging cables and strangely labeled sockets. As a group of adult friends it was perfect.

The location is great very central on sea front . I read. The others reviews and listen if you want higher standard accomodation don't book a £30 a night room.! I booked cause it was cheap and I liked location and I had realistic expectation ...it will be basic . Which I'm fine with .was greeted at reception and given my key. Single room . It had all I needed. Even a kettle and cups which is unusual nowadays. The room was very Clean! The bed v comfy. TV worked.. Good room for the price. You get what you pay for . So don't expect the Ritz ... and main about every little thing....if you want more you must pay more for somewhere else.. For me it was fine but then I'm not very fussy lol. Clean, dry roof over my head and v cheap. All good!. Was also offered free breakfast It was very quiet had a good night's sleep . Yes it's being renovated...so what! People have to do up the property , yes it's dated decor ...so what.if you want modern go pay £100+ a night and stop moaning. Honestly first world problems....people in UK moan about any little thing. ..or there was dust on the shelf ..oh the carpet wasn't spot less.....no it isn't and that is what you get for cheapest room price in Paignton!. So stop moaning and pay more !... I found it fine but then I've slept in worse dives and travelled all over ten world. Once you see real poverty you don't moan so much ...it is what it is. Cheap accomodation, Comfy, dry, good location , it is old fashioned a bot but I like kitch retro 🙂. I don't care if it doesn't have 24 hour reception ...it's easy you just check yourself out ... leave key at reception. All I would say is don't leave any valuables in your room. As the front door is open.. anyone can walk in ..use you brain. But for me it was what I needed a small quiet roo.cheao in good location. . Better than sleeping rough on a bench 🤣👍

All good cause I'm not fussy and don't expect alot paying for cheapest room In Paignton. I didn't have any problems. I like it.

The hotel have made great improvements since the last time i stayed there early this year. There was a staff on site who was welcoming and helpful. They upgraded my room to a very lovely sea view room with balcony. The room was nice, clean and fresh. I was very impressed. The bed was very comfortable.

They forgot to leave a toilet roll. They would have provided it if I bothered to ask but I had an alternative so I didn't ask.

Very nice welcome.. Room clean perfect and view... We understand about the scaffolding.. And electric work still being done to our room and bacony needing a sweep.. Dirty cigarette ends from previous tenants. Brilliant two days... Of sun

Day three was cold and very rough.. And local council had decided to put up over four groups of immigrants off the Local beach.. Eating and getting accommodation for free... So we left early.. Passing another group just arrived in reception... Putting key for our room in a open drinking glass... Not a locked box.... One was heard to say.... Yes........... I would advise a better security for handed in keys.. I won't be held responsible for damages if they used our room...

We didn’t have breakfast in our booking it was room only! We were pleased that we had a complimentary continental breakfast which was adequate and quite a nice surprise! The rooms were very clean. The bathroom was small but that was fine after all it was a single room!

You had to help yourself to breakfast and it was quite funny at first but we realised it was quite nice to just take what you wanted and that meant no waste! 😊 Really there wasn’t anything we didn’t like!

Location is fantastic! Right over the road from the pier it was great! I wasn’t expecting any breakfast but there was cereal, toast & fruit available if you wanted it. The room was lovely… we had a sea view room it was brilliant.

When checking in there wasn’t anyone around to help. There was a sign advising to call a number then someone would be there to help… I rang the number serval times and no answer….. so we went out for a few hours and came back luckily there were other guests being checked in at the time so we got sorted straight after them

Great location and seaside view. We went mid august and was a good price. The room was perfect for a family of 4. We liked just being left to do our own thing and no curfew. The breakfast was basic things but good, and we liked the fact you could just help yourself too as much as required.

The bed wasn't the comfiest but was clean and fresh and when we turned up there was scaffolding, however this didn't effect our stay at all. The hotel is undergoing improvements.

Great location, clean and in good condition, property was nice and warm on a very wet and windy weekend. Staff were polite.

No food or drink available onsite apart from a few tea/coffee sachets in the room. TV in the room was very small and could do with being a little larger so that it can be seen however we only ended up watching it due to the poor weather.

There was no breakfast but plenty of choice between hotel and stations. It was a little out of the way but nice and close to Preston Sands where I wanted to take some photos. The staff member was very helpful when I arrived on the first night a little late. The shower was nice and hot and easy to use.

Not being told on arrival that there was no breakfast and also notice board not updated for this fact. Room was on the the small side and nobody came to tidy up after the first night. Not enough water I the kettle for drinks.
