The Sands Hotel

A fabulous and recommended place to stay We had a 3 night stay, along with other family members staying 2 nights. The hotel is very conveniently located, close to the sea front and amenities in Paignton. Our room was so comfortable and homely, absolutely spotlessly clean. The welcome from the hosts was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay and the communication was good from booking to leaving. We would certainly be sure to book again when visiting the area.Our choice for booking this hotel was made on previous good reviews and we would certainly recommend.

A very comfortable, exceptionally clean and well cared for smaller hotel. A tad old fashioned, but absolutely comfortable. I had a single room, as did my friend and another friend a double with Seaview. We were all very happy with our rooms and the pricing was very good. The showers in the single rooms seem a bit intrusive and aren't the quickest to get going or regulate, but they were OK. There are a lot of stairs and no lift - as is indicative of this type of hotel, so anyone with mobility issues would need to request ground floor, although the hostess kindly carried my case up to my room, in fact insisted! Both hosts were friendly and helpful. The bar area was super cosy and a nice place to relax. My friend spent a lot of time in there chatting with the friendly host and enjoying a whiskey or four! There is parking to the rear a a small area at the front, which was a bit difficult for my friend to navigate as another car had parked without real consideration, so we were quite blocked in. Use the rear car park if you don't want that hassle. This isn't a 'boutique' hotel, but it is in easy reach of everything, in the corner of the seafront, near the High Street and shops. It is warm, comfy and friendly (the beds were very comfy too!), clean and we all recommend it.

Nothing really to dislike, my room was exceptionally clean and my bed was very comfortable, only issue I had was with the shower, had to run it for quite along time before the water would heat up, but everything else was fine.

Our host was friendly and nothing was too much trouble, fantastic views from our room , perfect location to walk to harbour. Town or goodrington , very clean

Birthday holiday break We turned up early and told the owner would it be ok if we could stay parked around the back and check in later at 3pm. It was no problem we checked in there and then because the room was ready,was lovely and friendly person.

Disappointing Arrived ok , disappointed with the room , it was clean , but room was limited. Most of the time in the day the lounge was locked, no access. The lady of the hotel was helpful, but male propieter, was not helpful at all , we had to ask for water , toiletries , as wasn’t replaced as we used them. We came home a day early , just glad to get home .looked so good on web site , disappointing.
