We had a four night stay at the Derwent booked through an organised trip. We have visited Torquay many times before but have never stayed at this hotel. We found the hotel staff to be very friendly and the service was generally good, although we did find the room to be rather small. The hotel is in need of a... More

This was our second trip this year to this Hotel and I cannot speak too highly. Whilst I agree that the Hotel is dated in parts, the Hotel is immaculately clean and the Staff friendly. Entertainment is superb and the food justifies five stars. It takes all sorts but people who have complained about the food on other reviews must... More

The bedroomroom was clean, though the carpet could have done with being replaced as it was old and showing it. The windowsills could have done with some remdial paintwork too. The beds were rather high for someone of my height (5 feet tall), and rather hard too, but at least the bedding was clean and the housekeeping cuoldn't be faulted... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I will assume by the fact that you did not receive a response to your emails and that you did not get the disabled friendly room that the email did not get through our network security. This can happen for a number of reasons. It is always best to telephone... More

We have just returned from a 4-night midweek break at the Derwent. We have stayed at the hotel before and find it a very friendly, comfortable hotel.

2nd visit to hotel, traveled down by coach for a weeks bowling, this was unfortunatly spoilt by the weather but the facilities and staff at the hotel rescued what could have been a total washout. The only negative would be the waiting time for the lifts as I was on the 4th floor and there is only 1 of the... More

Traveled on a coach tour last week and although it was very wet and windy out doors the hotel was great. The room which was on the 4th floor was a bit disappointing - small with dark bathroom, but it was clean. The lifts did seem too small for the number of people using the hotel but we were on... More

Thank you for posting your review. I am pleased you enjoyed our food offering. The restaurant was refurbished and modernised last year, which saw the introduction of air-conditioning throughout. When modernising we did remove the table clothes from all tables to create a more contemporary feel. We have an ongoing programme of refurbishment and upgrade in our bedrooms and public... More
