Livermead Cliff Hotel

Loved the terrace. But overall the hotel was dated, tired, and plain shabby in places, particulary the carpets

Such a beautiful location but hotel itself is rather dated. Reception & bar service were both very slow. Our room, 56, is in need of a deep clean, as is the dining and bar area. Also, overnight we could lots of noise from reception area.

I was disappointed to find that the gym and pool which is listed as provided was only at the sister hotel across a busy main road. There was also a lot of noisy construction. The Wi-Fi was terrible so had to use my personal hot spot-not great as I needed to work from my room. The staff however were really nice . The hotel is very dated

A bizarre experience all around. Half of the staff made a good pass at it - the people in the bar and the housekeeping staff. But most of the others seemed unable to comprehend what it is to be in the hospitality industry. Many of those we encountered were surly or grumpy in the extreme. Day after day the breakfasts were pretty inedible. Food was cold, coffee was lukewarm at best. At prices like these it's a pretty poor show chaps . . . Needless to say, we won't be back.

A little dated but service was exceptional. Easy parking. Great food both in the evening and breakfast. Clean room. Small shower and not a fan of having the sink in the bedroom not the bathroom. Small shower. I was overlooking the road and new hotel being built opposite. The restaurant and bar have amazing views over Torbay.

Car parking. £10 per day if you book through hotel .com. Total £50.. This hotel runs a free car park if you book direct.??.charge for our dog was £15 per day..£75 total. We were offered room 12.which has the smallest bathroom i have ever seen and tried to use comfortably.??.window looked out to the roadworks coach park etc. with all the noise and pollution from the cars etc excellerating at the traffic 8lights . Staff were very helpful.

Overall OK, breakfast was reasonably good but £10 for parking let thdm down.

Arrived at the hotel no available parking so had to park in front of No parking sign was told by quite a grumpy receptionist that is was ok to park there as long as we weren’t blocking any other cars!? Hotel is in desperate need of updating, feels like back to the 90’s. Room was noisy from the corridor, people walking past on the creaky floorboards and you can hear what they are talking about, the room was ridiculously hot and small for a family room, we had a road side room, and as it was so hot we had to have the window open with cars zooming by constantly as on a main road into Paignton, not ideal so none of us had any sleep! Chose to eat out as the Menu was not very appetising, came back and a few parking spaces had become available, the hotel does not take any responsibility for any damage to the cars, we noticed someone had scraped the front of our car the next day! Breakfast in the restaurant was not good either, ordered a full English, asked for beans in a separate bowl which I gave to my husband and burnt my hand by lifting it off my plate, was not advised the plates were hot! Member of Staff came over and gave me some ice for the burn. The breakfast itself, well, the bacon was like it had been boiled, completely white not crispy, sauté potatoes were soggy and looked black, sausage and mushrooms were just standard, very disappointing stay and safe to say we will definitely not stay again.

Rooms and breakfast over priced. Rooms are small and poky. Carpet bubbling which was not good as partner uses walking stick. Unable to park in hotel parking had to park on sude street.

Great sea view with large terrace leading out from bedroom. Breakfast was good. Free parking.

Staff great, clean room, good room price and food and drink decent value.

Amazing hotel and excellent sea views and location, staff and food/breakfast choice were first class. Bedrooms spacious and well laid out. Only one thing the hotel is lacking and that is the corridors leading up tonthe rooms need a refurbishment with fresh paint/carpet because as soon as you enter the corridor the smell is not very good with a musty sort of smells constantly present, as i said woukd only need a frech paint, but saying that best hotel for sea view and everything else was first class, will definitely stay again.

Very dirty windows in the room. Not properly working shower, somebody smoking weed and cigarettes outside and smoke got into the room, issues with getting a parking space. Very old style hotel, noisy street nearby, would not return.

Clean and tidy room, helpful staff and excellent amenities

Enjoyed our stay Very clean and tidy Food good Service excellent Would go back

If you want a time warped hotel from the 70s to 90s youre in luck. Had the cheek to charge for £15 per night for my snall dog. I think they should have paid my dog £15 to stay there. Dated room. Old bathroom not fit for purpose. Old mismatched furniture. Poor mattress. Broken fan. Weak shower. Dirty carpet in room. Just shabby.

The staff at the hotel were excellent, as was the food. Beautiful views. Tables in the bar area were often dirty with drink rings/spills and crumbs, the beds VERY uncomfortable, mattresses were very worn (like sleeping on cardboard) and nothing at all left in the pillows. It’s an old building with dated fixings, but for a quick stop over whilst visiting family it did what it needed for us.

Very cl room Nice staff

Nice hotel over looking the sea staff are friendly hotel nice and clean nice location easy to work to where you want to go would definitely recommend

Goodness , it was like traveling back to the 80's ... The hotel needs modernising. The room was ok , but the bathroom was so small, ridiculously so. Every aspect of the room, such as furniture and decor needs updating. The breakfast room ( restaurant) , feels like a museum , the curtains , table cloths and decor is so old ... Actually feels dirty because everything is so old. The breakfast service was horrendous...buffet service ran out of food and we had to wait 39 minutes to get food. In the mean time we had to ask for almost every aspect ... No butter , no milk , no cutlery... The staff were trying their best , but it was obvious that more were needed. Oh , also had to pay extra £10 to park , which in this day and age is ridiculous. Although if the hotel added that extra cost on such platforms as Hotels.com it would get less bookings . So much so , that I understand if you book direct, parking is free . This is a way the hotel makes the hotels.com commission back ( dreadful !!). A positive and the only one ... The new lady working on reception was so polite and helpful.

Our room was very small and too warm. I had the window open but it was a bit noisy. I think if you had a room at the front, it would be better

Lovely Hotel with an amazing view over Livermead Cliff. Lovely spacious room with a balcony. Very clean and comfortable with lovely friendly staff. Very much worth a visit. We will definitely be staying again!!

Bed was comfy

Great sea view with large terrace leading out from bedroom. Breakfast was good. Free parking.

I’ve booked the hotel cos the view from the pictures were stunning, meant to be a surprise present for my wife, 2 nights staying but the next morning we left the hotel, a wedding function was held and music was on till midnight. I choose the hotel for a peaceful stay but although we complained was nothing they could do. Fair enough cos the wedding was on, but if I knew I wouldn’t waste my money and time to stay, losing £100 for fees. Great! Uncomfortable bed and pillows… shared balcony??? We end up having a partially refund and booked somewhere else. I’m not going back.

The only good thing was the view from the windows! It’s in a dilapidated state. The wash basin was clogged, so I called the reception at around 9 pm to report it but there was no reply - they could’ve been busy! As it was late do didn’t bother about it.

A little dated but service was exceptional. Easy parking. Great food both in the evening and breakfast. Clean room. Small shower and not a fan of having the sink in the bedroom not the bathroom. Small shower. I was overlooking the road and new hotel being built opposite. The restaurant and bar have amazing views over Torbay.

Beautiful location. Staff friendly & accommodating. Dog friendly.

The staff were absolutely brilliant 👏

Customer service is off the scale excellent as Charles and Anthony have taught their staff well in going the extra mile to make the guest happy - very rare today and great to see and experience at the Livermead

Wonderful location

Beautiful location. Staff friendly & accommodating. Dog friendly.

A wonderful hotel with a beautiful view. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Hotel is very cheap and you get what you pay for. Great position on sea front about a mile from the town. Needs a serious refurbishment reminded me of 1960s biarding house

Nice hotel over looking the sea staff are friendly hotel nice and clean nice location easy to work to where you want to go would definitely recommend
