Located just 10 minutes' walk from Torquay's award-winning beaches, the Riviera Hotel offers 189 en-suite rooms, including singles, doubles, twins, triples, and family accommodations with digital flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities. The restaurant serves buffet-style breakfast and dinner, featuring home-cooked joints and vegetarian options, while The Sports Bar provides Costa Coffee drinks and nightly cabaret-style entertainment. Guests can use the seasonal indoor pool, and free Wi-Fi is available in reception and the bar. Riviera Hotel's steep, multi-level car park may present access challenges, though stairlifts and assistance with luggage are available. Nearby attractions include the Riviera International Centre (0.5 km) and South West Coast Path Walk (0.5 km).
Pros
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Torquay's beaches and local landmarks like Babbacombe Model Village.
189 en-suite rooms include family-friendly options with flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities.
Buffet dining features home-cooked meals and seasonal cabaret entertainment in The Show Bar.
Indoor pool and free Wi-Fi in public areas add convenience for guests.
Cons
The indoor pool operates seasonally and may be unavailable during certain periods.
Parking requires walking up a slope and is chargeable, with no on-site parking directly adjacent.
“For a reasonable price, this hotel provides more than just a clean room; the staff's attentiveness, like returning a forgotten iPad, stands out. Expect a comfortable stay with amenities such as a pool, show bar, and sports bar, a short walk from the seafront, and the evening entertainment seems to be a real plus.”
