“Riviera Hotel's location near Torquay's beaches and town centre is certainly a plus for those eager to explore the English Riviera; coupled with plentiful parking, it eases travel logistics. The ongoing refurbishment indicates a commitment to improvement, even if some aspects, like dining, haven't yet hit the mark, but I think the indoor heated pool and family-oriented entertainment add appeal. Overall, this hotel presents a budget-conscious option with an eye toward future enhancements.”
