Breakfast was excellent and most of staff very obliging. Would be nice if the facility offered a comfortable lounge/bar where you could sit with a drink and enjoy the view. Also the menu provided from midday to 9pm was not very varied and seemed to be mainly fast food not for older guests.

What I definitely didn't like was, having paid a large amount of money for a two week stay that even though I have a blue badge it was an extra £15 per 24hours extra!! On top of this it cost us more money on Taxi's to take us to railway or bus stations, as couldn't move car incase we were unable to get back in parking garage and the alternative was a multi storey approximately quarter mile away NOT for the disabled.

The location was very good, within minutes we were on the seafront. We also enjoyed sitting on the balcony at the front of the hotel, near the bar. The room was a good size with plenty of storage. The breakfast was well cooked but limited to what you could have but you need to have more than 1 small toaster available. Staff were very good but very understaffed. 1 person on the bar when the room is full to capacity is not good.

The carpark is too small and if you couldn't park in the side street next to the hotel the only other parking we found was on the seafront, which is not good if you have to pull suitcases. It would have been nice to have been pre warned that we had to pay a weeks carparking in advance to the hotel. The instructions on the lift were also confusing, B1 and B2 and 0 meant nothing and other guests were also complaining.

The advert said everything included no charges on booking .com. With all the filter requirements put in. On arrival at 11pm late ( after a family death travelling from Birmingham we were expected to pay £15 for the dog.. there was no space to park our car so night staff said it was ok to park at side of hotel.. next morning we had a parking ticket and staff member was queried more money for parking our car on their complex.. utter con .. we need to come back in 3 weeks for a funeral but can’t afford all these add ons plus we now have a parking fine.. Paignton is waiting to trip the tourist up to top up on money cow tactics.

I originally booked the Ibis Styles Paignton Spa, however I received a phone call the a few days before our visit to say they are giving us a complimentary upgrade to their sister hotel; Mercure Paignton Hotel. Upon checking in, the gentlemen at reception informed us he had complimentary upgraded our room to a Sea View Room as we were there to celebrate my partners birthday (21 again). Throughout our stay, we were greeted with smiles and warmth from the people at reception, bar staff, waitress staff, house keeping, maintenance man - all were really welcoming. The breakfast was lovely - so much choice and variety! There were always staff available if we needed anything. The room was gorgeous with a comfy bed and beautiful view! We will definitely be visiting again.

It was a nice hotel our room on the front with sea view worth every penny ..cud have done with a relaxing lounge area as we're you had breakfast and lunch it.ws same chairs and tables hard bistro chairs so not good for relaxation over drinks limited food menu but we did stay a week lovely food and breakfast choices .shame we had to pay a charge for parking xtra £100 wud have been nice to get a discount after a few nights but wud recommended it and go again ..

With a drink no were to relax as bar in dining Room comfy chairs wud be nice in a different area used the Mercure next door with nice relation area off the bar wud have liked a car park discount for 6 days

I thought the hotel was absolutely fabulous and in an amazing position , the staff were lovely, our bedroom was a Privilege room with amazing views across the bay, the bed was comfortable I loved all the little things extra you get for four stars.I also enjoyed breakfast but we didn't eat here for an evening meal but I would have done though. But the main thing is I would come back again I liked it!

I hate to be negative there was a few things I didn't like , the air conditioning in our room 405 seem to gurgle all night and was constantly filling up I don't know anything about air conditioning I'm sure it shouldn't have been doing that, I am noise sensitive I don't like any noise at night but I had to switch the air conditioning on to stop it doing it. There was not one hanger in a room anywhere which I thought was a bit weird and also the shower was very slow pressure all right if you're not in a hurry!

I cannot fault a thing- from pre booking -- to arrival -- everything and everyone was amazing .. The staff are second to non--- I work in hospitality and they are some of the best ... not over the top, but nothing too much trouble -- friendly and welcoming.. Ibis need to look after them ------ !! Breakfast was amazing for the price --- limitless -- coffee -- food -------even poached eggs delivered by the chef !!

Nothing at all -- well perhaps windows to open but know that not possible. The lovely beauty lady not working Monday and Tuesday !!! she seemed so nice -- will definitely be back to try it ............................

The location on the sea front and close to pubs restaurants and bus / train stations. Friendly staff. Breakfast included. Spacious modern rooms with Air-conditioning.

Disapointed there was no fridge. my friend needed one for her insulin. Soap dispenser wasn't filled up in the bathroom on arrival or after room service. Not keen on wet room as water went outside of shower cubicle. Expensive parking at hotel. We were lucky to find alternative free road side parking as out of season. Despite a few niggles we will definately be back if we can get a good deal / upgrade again. We go to Paignton every year and this is the best accommodation we have stayed in.

My 4th stay at Ibis Styles since April so that speaks volumes of my satisfaction with accommodation. Reason for this is that my parents live very close by and not been well. Love the location. Rooms are spacious and clean. All staff are most pleasant. The hotel just makes me feel completely at ease - it must do as we enjoyed 6 bottles of Chardonnay between us on the hotel terrace over the 3 nights of our stay!! Also dogs are welcome, and although not a dog owner, as an animal lover this is impressive.

From feedback, staff shortage seems to be an issue, although to be fair the breakfast staff work very hard to overcome this. I love the fruit bowl (berries & strawberries) with the natural yogurt, but unfortunately on my last 2 visits the fruit bowl not been available. I did enquire this time and the very pleasant lady member of staff said they had run out 2 or 3 weeks ago and not received any stock, which I found a bit bizarre as would have thought this product or something similar would be easily obtainable. Other than that all was lovely.

The location was excellent, right on the sea front with lovely views if you were sitting at the front of the building. The facilities were very good and clean. Rooms were clean. Breakfast had a lot of choice and was very good value for money. The staff were extremely helpful when we had an issue with one of our rooms.

I booked a fully accessible room and emailed the hotel beforehand to say that we needed this as a family member wasn't completely mobile. The room they were given was not accessible to them at all. The toilet was too low, so they needed another family member to help them off. However, a member of staff changed the room immediately for them and was extremely helpful when they saw their needs. These rooms should not be fully advertised as fully accessible when they are not.
