The check-in process was quick and reception staff polite and helpful. We were informed that if we came down after check-in we would receive free tea and coffee downstairs which is a nice touch.

Our room was on the top floor, it was spacious with a small hallway leading into a large room with a double and a single bed. The views from the room were outstanding, looking over the seafront and as we were up early in the morning we were able to watch the sun rise. There was also a small seating area with sofa and chair and table. The room had a flat screen TV, tea and coffee facilties and a good quality bottled water. The bathroom was large and both the room and bathroom were clean. I think we had a club room which I would recommend paying the extra for.

We asked the receptionists for some recommendations for places to eat in the evening and they were very helpful and seemed to have a good knowledge of the area. We also asked if they could bring breakfast up to us in the morning as my friend was getting ready for her wedding, they happily obliged to do this and brought up whatever we wanted - be aware there is a £3 pp charge for this though.

The bar area is nice and has a pool table and TV. The drinks are a tad on the pricey side but nothing too extreme. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to use the leisure facilities.

Overall I thought the hotel was fantastic for a 3* hotel, I have stayed in 4* hotels which were not half as nice as this one. The overall presentation of the hotel is good, although maybe slightly dated and some areas could do with a little touch up - peeling paint etc. But it was clean and the staff were great and willing to help with any requests we had. If I was to visit Paignton again I would most likely stay here.

I was recommended this hotel by friends who live locally and I was not disappointed. The hotel was first rate with elegant and tasteful decor, charming and courteous staff and bright, clean rooms with fabulous views. I will definitely be staying again.

This is the 5th time we have stayed in the Palace Hotel in the past 2 years as we have family in Paington. This is by far the best hotel we have stayed in in the area!!

From the moment we first walked in, we were thoroughly impressed. The reception/ conservatory/ bar/ restaurant area are all beautifully furnished, with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere (i didnt sit on one rickety chair during any of my stays as stated in a different review).

We stayed on both a dinner bed and breakfast deal and B&B. All meals were lovely and well presented. There are plenty of choices as there is a set a la Carte and a Table d'hote menu which is changed daily. Breakfast is always of a high standard with a continental buffet and the choice of cooked breakfast served.

The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to assist in making each stay perfect, In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting at the bar and chatting with the barstaff and other guests with the evenings entertainment in the background. There is a bar terrace with heated lights and a lovely garden with tables and chairs to sit out and enjoy the fresh air.

All the rooms that we have stayed in have been very well furnished and so clean and tidy that it seams that nobody has stayed in the room before. The bathroom is always absolutely pristine!

It is situated in the heart of Paington, with the lovely beach a minutes walk away and the town centre about 5 minutes walk away. Perfect spot!
