Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Devonshire Hotel is often praised for its welcoming atmosphere and convenient location, just a short walk from downtown Torquay and only 5 minutes by foot from the sailing club. Guests frequently mention the spacious rooms, some noting the comfort provided by high ceilings. While the hotel sits on a hill, which some find a bit challenging when walking back from the harbour, the availability of an outdoor pool with sun beds is generally appreciated. The hotel also offers good value for money and a selection of drinks.

Good Value and Friendly Staff

friendly staff clean room easy parking great singer
The staff were friendly and always ready to help. My room was clean and had everything I needed. Parking was easy (always a plus). I also enjoyed the singer in the bar on Sunday night.
The bathroom could use a little updating, especially the bathtub. It felt a bit narrow when I stood to shower.
