The Elmington Hotel

We stayed here recently and it was fantastic. Cleanliness is second to none. Lovely peace & quiet of an evening and a nice relaxing location. Breakfast was freshly made using quality produce and was also a relaxing environment. Nothing was too much hassle for them. I highly recommend it and would stay there again. Decorated like a stately home really makes an impact. Gardens are beautifully kept also. The location is well within walking distance of the main town area but far enough for peace & quiet during the evening & nights. Room was freshly cleaned daily and your bed made which is a lovely touch. Big bonus for us with this hotel was it had ample car parking.

Good location and reasonably priced. Old tired hotel but clean and comfortable. It only serves breakfast. There are no lifts and it has 4 floors. Quite a challenge after a long day out. The room I had on the 4th floor had a beautiful view of Torbay. It's close to Torquay station and near good bus routes. Easy access to all the local attractions.

I would give zero stars if I could. This place calls itself the Elmington Hotel, but it’s actually A GUESTHOUSE. The room we got was GREY, DARK, DEPRESSING, dirty, dusty, and unkept, with no daytime curtains, so there was no privacy from the parking area. No a photo of that room on her guest house home pages. The bathroom had a filthy toilet brush, a half-broken lock, and patches on the bed and carpet. Despite advertising breakfast, none was provided or even mentioned at check-in. The path from the parking lot was dark and dangerous at night. The swimming pool was empty. When I asked for a refund, it was refused on a flimsy excuse. Overall, a terrible experience. I don't recommend staying here. Think twice before booking!
