The Sands Hotel

Right on the sea front and not far from the shops, harbour & Paignton railway station for the steam train to Dartmouth. Parking worked out ok for me, however if you wish to have an early day out, you can get blocked in on the hotel's rear carpark. The room was clean. Slept well. The staff were very friendly. Competitive price. Stayed 7 nights. Had a very nice relaxing holiday. I would stay here again.

This is worst hotel in devon, very dirty and the lady partner is very rude, they gave me room in sevond floor and just infront of the stairs although they knew that we have around 1 year old child who is walking and crowning. When i said to them i dont want to stay than one of the partner mr shahzad said to me that you can leave now or tommrow and i will give you refund and he was really good to us, very well behaved person but hus partner was very rude and said to us we cant refund any amount and i have children as well who are livin second floor and it is really dangerous for children because there is no safty for children so they return my balance money which they didnt.... Worst experience and very dirty hotel, all the towels and napkins are very dirty.... Never go again....

This was the second time that we stayed at the Sands, smashing hosts and lovely clean room. Very helpful and friendly. Nice view from the room and nice breakfast to start the day. Close to local amenities and parking on site. We will definitely be returning.

We needed a place to stay at a reasonable price which this hotel fitted well. It is well located and for the price, very nice. The rooms are small but very clean so no problem and the staff are lovely and welcoming. It states off road parking which it does have but there is only room for probably 3 cars but it looks like there is street parking close by if needed.

BED BUGS!! All seemed fine at first, we was here for 2 weeks. Towards the end of the first week my partner started to get covered in bites we assumed at the time this was perhaps mosquitoes as we had to sleep with the window open due to it being very warm in the room. The second week myself and my little boy then started to come up in bites. Two days before the end of the holiday at this point we are all completely covered in bites still not thinking these could possibly be bed bug bites after spending £1700 for a room only stay!! As soon as we all returned home I went to the pharmacist who advised they were bed bug bites!! We now have to come home and fumigate the house incase they have got into our luggage which Is not what you need after you have been on holiday! I have contacted the b&b who have not even acknowledged my email or apologised. We have then contacted *********** who advised this is not the first report that has been made in regards to something like this. *********** have called the sands who advised they have seen the email but have not responded as we didn’t mention anything about it when we stayed and would not be compensating or apologising. If anyone knows anything about bed bugs the bites don’t appear on your skin straight away it can take up to 1 week for them to show hence why nothing was mentioned and we are covered even more since returning home! Do not stay here avoid at all cost!

Excellent!! Great customer service and lovely rooms. Would highly recommend and great views of the sea and very close to Paignton Beach and Paignton town. And is close to bus routes if you need to go further afield
