Great Victoria hotel on the English riviera, could do with updating in many areas, the rooms are clean and tidy with a great bed, TV should be on the wall though so can view from chairs and bed, balcony needs sweeping and waste removing, the bar area is lovely but drinks are way over priced (2 bottles of cider and 2 smalls glasses of juice totalling £24) never had the food as it was way over priced and not much variety, would I stay here again? Yes I would but would maybe go to a bar in Torquay.

Liked: Staff & service
Lovely views and polite staff
When we first got to the hotel ,I was kind of asking my self I went was at the right place , as the outside seemed quite out dated , but then I guess the hotel has history , but the inside deco was nice , sometimes it felt like you was going in to Titanic, I found the food to be ok , but limited , the best thing about our room was the view to be honest , the balcony door wouldn't lock at all and doesn't looked like it's ever been fixed like the handles was ready to drop , TV was pretty small considering the size of room , the bed was two singles put together , the table to eat and drink was wobbly that we had to hold one leg with our feet , the bathroom was ok , I guess I expected a lil more , the gym was very small and very limited, but what i will say is the staff was lovely and very polite , for views it's great , only a few minor things need adjusting
