Hotel Hudson  

Was very impressed from the moment I arrived as was not expecting such a high standard for such a small price. Hotel beautifully decorated, room very spacious and spotlessly clean, staff very pleasant indeed and always eager to help, breakfast freshly made to order with plenty of choice, location ideal as just a few minutes' walk from the main shopping centre and seafront. Will definitely be staying at the Hudson again next time!

A clean pleasant hotel, located close to the harbour and town , handy for the local buses which we used to tour the area. The owners were friendly and helpful.

The hotel was close to the harbour with its cafes and bars, close to the town centre and on a fairly level approach. The room we stayed in was large, airy, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfasts were freshly cooked and delicious.

The only problem we had was the fact that we had selected the hotel on the grounds that there was a bar and a lounge for the evenings - having returned from a meal out one does not always want to retire immediately to ones bedroom but might prefer a peaceful drink and maybe a chat with other guests in the bar or lounge. The bar did not open except at weekends. It did mention this on a sign in reception but we did not spot it until we were checking out. I could not find any mention of this on the web site. This was disappointing.

Nice people. Good place. Well laid out. Good service. A very good B and B, well appointed, comfortable, with good people running it.

The metal shutter on the dining, lunch, breakfast area is out of place – too like in warehouse for such an otherwise well styled interior. The mini suite bathroom has a shower cubicle. Yellow lines at the front, carrying luggage up steps, and distant parking requiring a £10 deposit may not be to everyone's liking. Ask the host to demonstrate hot water from the tap and shower, and how to make the radiator hot at bedtime.

A group of us stayed here for New Years and I must say it was great. Firstly the location is good just few minute walk to the bars, resturants etc. There is bowling opposite the hotel as well. The breakfast was good, you can help yourself to fruit, cereals, yogurts, toast and fruit juice, and can get a cooked breakfast fresh tea and coffee as well. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, if needed anything they were there to help. Overall this hotel was a good place to stay and if we come back to Torquay We will stay here again a nice small run hotel, thanks again.

Very friendly atmosphere, Brian was very nice to me during my stay and helped with anything I needed including the code to the wifi which was free 24 hours. The shower in my en suite was very nice, it got nicely hot and was a good power. The decor of the bathroom was of a good standard, tiled throughout and modern fittings. The main bedroom was modernly decorated and fresh. The theme was green and the bedding smelt fresh and clean, the bed was very comfy. I only had breakfast on one of the mornings (too lazy to get up in the morning at the weekend!) but it was very generous with an open buffet for cereal, toast, fruit and yoghurt, i also had a veggie fried breakfast which was warm and filling and tasty. The location is great with the strand and fleet street starting literally at the bottom of the road. The ideal location for shoppers as you don't have to carry your bags too far back to the hotel! Very nice pubs and restaurants (I highly recommend the clock tower pub and Amici's restaurant). Torquay museum is at the top of the road which is great for mooching around on a Sunday. There is a bowling alley directly opposite which a didn't notice any noise coming from and a park next to that which would be good for sunny days.

It was very cold in my room, I was on the 2nd floor and my radiator was only barely tepid. I got into the routine of having a hot shower and jumping straight into bed to avoid getting cold again. My mug and glass provided in the room weren't replaced each day for fresh ones, the mug was rinsed in the sink in the room and the glass was the same one with all the same finger prints and stains on it. I would have appreciated a fresh one each day. The shower cubicle hadn't been cleaned recently as there were brown soap scum stains on the walls of the cubicle, not noticed if quickly cleaning but you spot quite a few when your in the shower using it.

Clean, modern, inexpensive, friendly.

- Good position in relation to town and harbour - Clean room - Freindly owners - Overall, good value for money

Small gripes. No milk cartons in room and cooked breakfast incl. White bread (for toast) a little dried up

The hotel was so close to the harbor and Brian who runs the hotel was very helpful. We had a room which opened on to the front verandah which saved our legs from the steps. Probably not suitable for older people with quite a few steps to the front. The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked by Brian.

The bed could do with a foam overlay as we felt the springs at night..

I enjoyed the breakfast.
