Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Palace Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Palace Hotel offers a pleasant stay with many guests appreciating its location on the seafront, just a short walk from the beach and pier. Rooms are generally spacious and clean, some offering great sea views overlooking the gardens and towards the pier. The hotel also features spa facilities and a bubble pool, enhancing the experience. While dinner was good value for money for some, a few guests found aspects of the meals disappointing or the bar closing earlier than expected slightly impacted their evening. With ample parking and little touches like tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, it presents a convenient base for exploring Paignton.

mixed feelings about the stay

food quality unexpected costs
the food was a real letdown! i booked this place partially for the meals, but the quality was just not there. also, there was a charge to use the swimming pool. that should have been included in the price. it's frustrating to have these kinds of unexpected costs pop up.

charmed by the stay!

ample drawers good breakfast friendly staff
the room was a standard double room. i found it to be an adequate size with plenty of drawer space. breakfast was quite good too, with a decent variety of options. the staff were friendly and worked diligently, even with the recent heat.
The bar closed earlier than expected. I was told it would close at 23:00 but it closed at 22:15 without any prior notice. this early closure slightly impacted the evening's enjoyment.
