Barcelo Torquay Imperial Hotel

“ Some signs of former glory remain and there is much tangible evidence that Barcelo are hauling the hotel in to the 21Century! The car parking arrangements still leave a deal to be desired.

We were thrilled to be upgraded to an enormous room (when we found it!) with sea view but less impressed with the absence of a quality thermostatic shower and minibar.

Dinner was hugely disappointing, despite the very pleasant ambience, (parsimonious fillet of Sea Bass and over-reduced, salty, red wine jus with the Pork) and fell substantially short of the expectation generated by the published Table d'hote menu prices. Breakfast, however, was a total triumph - the best we have experienced in years and the restaurant staff delightful.

Would return on a B&B basis.

“ my husband and myself had a short break there in jan 2012 we booked a standard room but when we got to our room we had a balcony that over looked the bay and the view was fantastic we had been up graded at no extra cost, the room was very nice the bed very large and comfy everything you needed in the room, staff very nice.. leisure centre very adequet and helpfull staff, we did use the gym. the hotel very large and nice and clean, we stayed bed and breakfast and that was lovely buffet style help yourself and plentyfull it was, they had a breakfast to please everyone and that was also overlooking the bay with fantastic views the hotel is on a hill but then most of torquay is but had a bus stop near by if you dont fancy the walk back up the hill overall we loved our stay and will go back again

“ Top Tip: the bay is lovely to look at at night its all lit up

“ The hotel room was of a very high standard and the view was magnificent. The Restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful and food was delicious.
