Stayed here for a few nights for conference recently and found it to be generally of good standard. Owners very helpful and friendly - happy to let me leave my car in the car park for whole day even after i had checked out. Rooms are ok, bit small but reasonably kitted out with nice shower etc. breakfast very nice... More

The Riviera Lodge is neither great nor bad and normally I wouldn't bother to write a review. But seeing the glowing reviews here I felt a bit of balance might be useful. I stayed with a group and should admit I didn't pay the bill. Nevertheless I know Torquay hotels well and how much was paid. The hotel is very... More

It's all about the people who run hotels like this: and these guys really care about giving a great experience to their guests. Nothing too much trouble, friendly without ever being overbearing, and we had some great chats in the bar. All the other guests seemed to be really interesting! A lovely laid back vibe, great breakfast, and it's almost... More

Superb stay in this friendly yet professional hotel. Room and all communal areas were spotless. Food was lovingly prepared. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. I'm coming back with my wife! Excellent.

We were in town for a weekend conference and had decided to make a week of it to spend time and enjoy what Torquay had to offer. We were made very welcome and our room was clean and tidy with bath/shower. If we were staying for any length of time in our room we would have found it to be... More

The bar is well stocked and with comfortable seats to lounge in whilst having ones nightcap. I would certainly recommend it to all... More

A very clean, well presented and most obliging hotel we have ever stayed. Nothing was too much trouble and anything they could do to make your stay better was achieved with great speed and efficiency not seen in the larger chains. Excellent food and a very friendly service again with the customer in mind and not "get them out as... More

Lovely hotel very close to the front (we stayed to see a show in the Princess) and found it a great place , very clean,and very welcoming with ample parking when we arrived. Bed was comfy and free WiFi always scores high from me (when will the large chains learn!), the breakfast was excellent and the hosts attentive. So why... More

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at this hotel. Carsten was an excellent host and our breakfasts were always delicious. I particularly enjoyed the scrambled eggs. It was in a nice quiet road only about a 15 minute stroll to the harbour and town centre. Would definitely stay there again if visiting Torquay.
