Melba House

Good bedroom with comfortable bed, but poor soundproofing and cramped shower room. View over cricket ground didn't amount to much. Lack of flexibility over breakfast start time made for a bit of a rush to get to meetings. Collection from station offered on web site but clashed with breakfast so not available at the time, no lift to station offered at end of stay. Owner solicitous and efficient but perhaps over-familiar for private people. Overpriced for single occupancy.

Management Response
Breakfast times are 8-30 to 9-30 am and we are happy to provide it earlier if requested. Unfortunately we are unable to collect guests from the railway station at breakfast times. We think it friendly to address our guests by their first names. (having asked them first). We are sorry if in doing this some feel we are being over-familiar.

Although small, our room to a high standard of cleanliness/decor and very suitable for our few nights stay in Torquay. Proprietor welcoming, friendly and informative. Hotel ideally situated with a short walk to the coast and town.

This hotel was first class food was excellent and the room was very comfortable The hosts were really friendly and informative about the area and things to do only small gripe was the towels were very rough everything else top notch I must congratulate the host on a very warm and freindly welcome Would I stay there again most definately

We thought the room was a bit small considering it was called a Superior Room, but apart from this our stay was very pleasant and friendly.

An Excellent Hotel with a very friendly hotel with a very homely welcome, we were well loked after Len advised useon local places to eat hich was very helpful and one we tried was excellent we would definetly stay again and would recommend it to anyone.
