The Palace Hotel is a magnificent building set on the edge of the Torquay seafront. I went the stay there as part of a company team building weekend and it was fantastic. The ground and facilities, not to mention the bar, helped us to have a really fun filled time. We went round their golf course, play tennis and went swimming most days. Sadly we had to have one or two conferences during the few days but everything else about the hotel made up for it. The rooms where comfortable and stylish with brilliant en-suite facilities. The restaurant was top class with amazing food every day. It is definitely a place I will bring my wife in the near future, I would suggest you do the same.

The Palace Hotel is a quiet and majestic step back in time and is very well presented, despite its age. Having read some earlier reviews on the hotel being 'tired' I have to agree, on the surface. The rooms were small, beds very uncomfortable and bathrooms too small to turn around in without bumping an elbow (one wonders how the corpulent population manages).
The package of breakfast and dinner is very good value and the staff do their utmost to ensure everyone is overflowing by the end of a meal. I find it hard to fault the cheery, helpful and personal approach the dining and wait staff exhibit. They are without a doubt the asset of the Palace. Grounds are wonderfully kept, and the par 3 golf course is a brilliant challenge to hackers and want to be pros alike. The pool is well used and kept.
The big downfall is the reception staff, whom could have been taken straight from the Immigration Desks at Heathrow. A less helpful, friendly or attentive group you'd be hard pressed to find in a day. Sorry, but this is an area of urgent attention and close management.
Overall, The Palace is a beaut old place, sadly in need of major works to bring it to the pace of modern life, but its position, atmosphere and wait staff make it a wonderful relaxing holiday destination.
