Mercure Paignton Hotel
8.6 (117 reviews)

Mercure Paignton Hotel ★★★★

📍 22 25 Esplanade Rd, Paignton

"We have stayed there before and we are pleased with the room (a couple and a young child in the double room with sofabed) size is decent, not huge but enough room for us. Clean, friendly staff and £15 a day for parking (EV charging at their car park). There is also an outdoor public carpark at the end of the road for about £10 for 24 hours if the hotel carpark is full (we did have to park there, a few mins walk)"

Ibis Styles Paignton
8.4 (45 reviews)

Ibis Styles Paignton ★★★

📍 26 Esplanade Rd, Paignton

"It's hard to review this time because booking was moved to the Mercure next door. I understand why but I do prefer the Ibis. NOTE this review relates to Mercure Paignton. Staff friendly and welcoming and though room had everything I needed it was dark. The privacy panel on the window and the dark furniture made it too dark for me. Am not a black and gold person, prefer light and bright. That being said facilities were great, bed very comfortable and show hot and powerful. One downside was TV remote, had a nightmare and needed to 'Google' to work out how to use it. I didnt eat onsite."

St Edmunds Guest House
9.8 (164 reviews)

St Edmunds Guest House ★★★★

📍 25 Sands Road, Paignton

"Just spent 3 days at St Edmunds Guest House Paignton. Proprietors Roger and Linda Thomas make you very welcome with very modern and clean rooms. Great breakfasts with lots of choice. Guest house has parking and is well situated for restaurants, bars, bus and rail station, worth a visit."

Marine Hotel
7.9 (109 reviews)

Marine Hotel ★★★★

📍 2 Adelphi Rd, Paignton

"My single bedroom was ideal for myself and very clean and everything I needed for my stay staff was helpful and close to all amenities great value for money and would definitely go bk there can't give feed bk on breakfast as I didn't have it"

Premier Inn Paignton (Goodrington Sands)
8.2 (42 reviews)

Premier Inn Paignton (Goodrington Sands) ★★★

📍 Tanners Rd, Goodrington

"We recently stayed here for an overnight stop and would not choose to return. On arrival we found the staff to be unhelpful and at times rude. The room itself was small, with a small bed and only one bath towel provided for two guests. The hotel overall felt tired, grubby and not particularly clean in places. The WiFi was poor and soundproofing was almost non-existent. We were woken early by noise from kegs being dragged and bottles being emptied from around 7am, making it difficult to get any decent rest. The adjoining pub/restaurant was also disappointing; very expensive for the extremely poor quality food served and the general standard of cleanliness. Please note there is no lift which, whilst not an issue for us, may be problematic for other guests with luggage or mobility issues. Guests are also charged £7.50 for parking, which felt excessive given the overall standard of the stay. Overall, this Premier Inn did not meet the standards we would expect and we will therefore not stay here again."

Beach Hotel Torbay B&B
9.1 (81 reviews)

Beach Hotel Torbay B&B ★★

📍 29 Esplanade Rd, Paignton

"Although the standard twin bed room we occupied is quite small, it is well decorated, has modern furniture and is spotlessly clean. There is a recent shower unit, a TV, a fan, and tea and coffee making facilities. There are twin electrical sockets and 4 USB outlets adjacent to each bed. While the window looks along the coast rather than directly out to sea, the view is very pleasant. The English breakfast was good, and the manager, Adam, very helpful. There is parking on a hard-standing at the side of the hotel. The sea and pier are close by, and the main shopping area is walkable. Overall we enjoyed our stay a lot. Two constructive suggestions are (1) a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries which won't stand on top of the curved sink, and (2) provision of a toilet brush."

Travelodge Paignton Seafront
7.6 (41 reviews)

Travelodge Paignton Seafront ★★★

📍 Middlepark Hotel, 3 Marine Dr, Paignton

"We had a great stay, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again. "

📍 7 The Retreat, Marine Drive, Paignton

Torbay Court Hotel Hotels in Paignton

Torbay Court Hotel

"We had a really lovely stay at the Torbay Court Hotel and would happily return. The location is ideal and just a short stroll to the beach and close to all the local shops and amenities. It made a great base for getting out and about around Paignton and the surrounding area. From the moment we arrived, Steve and the rest of the team made us feel genuinely welcome. They were friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. There was even a DJ on the first evening, which created a great atmosphere and got the trip off to a fun start. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a decent variety of options. The staff were always cheerful and helpful, which really added to the overall experience. A special mention has to go to Steve, he was fantastic throughout our stay, always approachable and happy to help with anything. Overall, it was a warm and relaxing break. If we were to be picky, a slightly broader breakfast selection would have been the cherry on top — but everything else was spot on. We’d definitely recommend it to others."

The Haldon Guest House Hotels in Paignton

The Haldon Guest House

"It was a pleasure to stay in such a lovely well run GH. Graham and Cat are just the best and made you feel welcome. Like you have known them for years. Food top class room was lovely, comfortable and clean and everything we meeded. Can't wait for next visit Carole and Marcus Smith and Harvey. Bridgwater. "

St Weonards Hotels in Paignton

St Weonards

"Stayed for two nights at St. Weoanrds Hotel which is always a pleasure. Very friendly hosts that cant do enough for you. Just 5 minutes walk away from Paignton railway station and even less to the beach. Great breakfast cooked to order as well. Fully recommended."

Cambria Hotel Hotels in Paignton

Cambria Hotel

"Please avoid. This hotel is run by people at the Bonair next door. You have to ring a mobile number and wait....I was asked to pay for a room I had already paid for. I've taken this up with my credit card company. Fraud or just incompetence??? It was cheap but not if you pay twice!! There's no facilities other than a room to stay in. The bar and restaurant are empty. Nearly everyone I spoke to had to ask for missing items. I had no towels. The window couldn't be shut in my room. The only positive was the location."

Cherwood Guest House Hotels in Paignton

Cherwood Guest House

"A fabulous hotel which we found by accident and so glad we did. Martin and Jo are lovely hosts , nothing is too much trouble for them. Our room was spacious and very clean , with a large and oh so comfortable bed . We had continental breakfast two mornings which had everything anyone could need including fresh strawberries and an assortment of yogurts and cereals. Hot fresh cooked toast topped it off . Our third morning we opted for hot English breakfast . Martin made me the best plain omelet I have ever had cooked in a hotel . Lovely juicy mushrooms, bacon ,sausage, hash browns and eggs cooked every which way were available with beans or tomatoes. Also eggs Benedict for those who prefer . Martin and Jo are perfect hosts , chatty and knowledgeable and very friendly . The hotel is only 100 metres from the beach front and parking is available 70 meters away . If your looking for a great, clean, friendly , small hotel then this is for you . We would definitely return . Thank you Jo and Martin ."

Premier Inn Paignton (Goodrington Sands) ★★★
"Generally very tired hotel in need of a considerable uplift. Staff not really bothered, Brewers Fayre lacklustre. Carpets in restaurant quite filthy and I would suggest an EHO would condemn them. Also, menu choice severely restricted, Assistance room only OK as in need of change (as per assistance room at PI Exeter St David's). Suggest remove the bath and replace with walk-in shower (much safer). I've stayed in many Premier Inns around the country and this is the first negative review I have written."

The Esplanade Hotel by Compass Hospitality ★★★
"Awful, avoid. Gutted I booked this hotel. If your staying in Paignton just don't book here. Check the reviews on this hotel for yourself. The team there doesn't care so why should you spend your money staying there cheap or not. Pay a bit more and stay somewhere a lot better."

Ambassador Guest House Bed and Breakfast ★★★★
"Marc and Sarah are very new to the B&B business, however you would never know. Greeted with such enthusiasm and energy made to feel really really welcome, room was fantastic. Beds were originally made up as a king size. I requested twins which was not a problem. Went straight up and done it. It didn't batter an eyelid, everything you need in your room. All you needed to bring was your toothbrush. Even had conditioner. I'll obviously on your toothpaste. Towels were so large and fluffy. It was great. Shower was nice and powerful beds are really really comfy with a range of pillows. Only issue I had was the plastic cover on the duvet which I can understand is for hygiene purposes. But my God it made you sweat all the TV channels on a lovely large TV breakfast. Wow that's outstanding. The ingredients were all of good quality and the presentation and the cooking was fantastic with whatever you wanted. Nothing was a problem with some beautiful homemade marmalade which I did try even though I don't like marmalade and I must say I did enjoy it the area if quiet, even though you are virtually in the center of the town, you're not too far from anywhere. The beach or the town are both literally 2 minutes walk away and if you fancy a walk into torquay it's roughly about an hour along the sea front. Thank you again Mark and Sarah for another great stay first lovely with you. Look forward to seeing the refurbishments after unfortunate flooding which I want to have did not affect our stay as if you hadn't highlighted it we wouldn't have even noticed."
