Amazing location, great views but super noisy, we had a shocking nights sleep. Not sure who or what is going on in the room above us but the creaky floors and thin ceilings make it so loud in our room. …

We stayed in the summer of 2023.Two night at £160 per night. No breakfast or any food facilities (told they stopped due to COVID).Whilst the views were lovely I would never stay here again. We had a “family room” which if I am honest probably would have been acceptable in 1989. Beds were awful, too hard. Bathroom flooded when you used the shower, TV got “a channel” if you were lucky and good luck getting any sleep. So much noise. Both from doors slamming and creaking floors above you.Stepping into this hotel is like stepping back in time. It’s dirty, massively date and extremely run down. The owner we kicknamed “The grunter” what a wonderful sole he was.This place needs a total revamp and new management. There is zero passion there.

Worst place I've ever stayed, no heating, no WiFi, host rude, place was far from clean, and to top it off unfairly tried to persue for a broken door that was definitely down to disrepair rather than anyone being heavy handed, no food available at all at any time, not allowed telly on as low as 8 to go to sleep told to turn it off, don't get a key to main door so they won't be impressed if your out past 11pm. Steer well clear.

We drove to Torquay for a spontaneous weekend away from home. Wanted a central, inexpensive, sea front hotel, with parking. The Waters Edge fit perfectly. …

Stayed over Easter weekend. Arrived early Saturday evening having been lucky enough to get a last minute booking after our originally booked accommodation was too unpleasant to stay in. …

Really clean, comfortable hotel on the sea front. Nice and quiet surroundings and very close to a beach, Torquay train station, Torre Abbey and the Riviera International Centre. …
