Our stay in Torquay.
Really enjoyed our stay at the Riviera Lodge Hotel. The people who owned it and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean. The room was a compact double and enough for our needs. Tea and coffee and 2 bottles of water in the room. The breakfast was enjoyable. Would definitely go back to the same hotel again.

Lovely hotel would book again!
Overall this is probably one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Nothing was too much and we enjoyed our stay that much so, that we extended our stay for another two nights. Very clean. Breakfast was provided with a large variety to choose from. Bar area was nice, had a pool table and liked the personal touch that there were packs of cards/dominos for guests to use as well. Pool area was lovely and we used the hot tub which was great too. It was sanitised between uses. The only negative was the room we were moved to for the final night was very small compared to our previous room. They did ask if we would like to view the room and we did say no. I just felt that as the rooms were the same price, they were very different in size. The room on the last night also got very, very warm. However, we had a great stay overall and the hotel was in a desirable location also. We would definitely consider going back again!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was great and the pool and jacuzzi also. A good location and easy to access the harbour and town centre. The wifi in my room was pretty non existent but was advised that they are aware of this and do have boosters. The weak wifi connection seems to be the case for most venues in the Torquay area though so not really a fault of the hotel I’d suggest. I would recommend staying here and have already to my friends.

Warning – please read carefully! We came across this hotel on the Expedia site and were looking forward to a week away as we were caring for my mum 24/7 and were ready for a weeks respite with mum going into a care home during our break. We had booked 2 rooms so my daughter and partner could come with us. Sadly on the 30 June 2019 my mum died suddenly and unexpectedly. This was the day we were to travel down and start our holiday. I informed the Hotel owners at 11.30am and explained we would not be able to come under the very sad circumstances so they could re-let the rooms. Later I enquired about a refund expecting a gesture in the very sad circumstances. All I got was a list of excuses why no refund at all would be given. We were shocked as were Expedia! They actually made more profit out of us than usual with NO food cost, NO cleaning or linen costs. I will never book at this hotel again as the owners showed no compassion offering not a penny refund and are only interested in their own bank balance. If you do book here you need to worry if you don’t have travel insurance. We lost over £1188!!!!

Birthday trip for one of our group
Good hotel, rooms are on the small side but well equipped. Shower was tight but worked well. Breakfast was fairly good, reasonable cereal choice, fruit choice was adequate. Cooked was variable, eggs tended to be overdone. Staff were great, nothing was too much. Hotel is up a stiff hill but about 10 minutes from the front

Not has expected
Was ok not what I was expecting from the reviews I read before I went the breakfast was very basic it was a wet and cold weekend and it was freezing and they never put the heating on I was in room 18 and every time I moved on the bed it creaked son not what I expected when you read the reviews when people say breakfast was great 1 rasher if bacon one small sausage a spoonful of beans even if you had only bacon and egg with mushrooms you still only had one slice of bacon has I say when you read these great reviews and it does not live up to them whether it is because it is coming to the end of the season and they are closing next week and has I say because it was a cold and wet weekend and it was freezing in the hotel

Comfortable Stay in Torquay
We had a five night break at this hotel and found it to be comfortable & friendly. Clean room with comfortable beds and a great breakfast. The hotel has a good size pool and large hot-tub. Its in a great location for the town and seafront. The hotel is family run and you do get a personal service.

Our stay was just perfect. The hotel is clean and inviting and the staff are so helpful and friendly. Perfect location, there is a pool and a hot tub which is just wow and they can accommodate food allergies really well. I really can't fault our stay here and would not hesitate to stay there again! What wonderful owners and staff that work there - thank you for a fantastic holiday!
