Air conditioning broken and we weren't told. We spoke to two different staff members at check in and neither told us it was broken husband went down to reception to speak to them was told they would turn it on from main control room half an hour later went back and said it still wasnt working got told it wasn't working across the hotel but reception was very cool? They had also put a fan in our room so they knew it wasn't working and hadn't told us before we arrived or at any point hoping we wouldn't notice but we purposely spent more money on this hotel to get air conditioning as it was a heatwave. We were also put in a disabled room with a connecting door to the next room which was open and when asked they said they didn't know it was a disabled room so if you are trying to book a disabled room the staff don't know which ones are for disabled people and make sure you check doors are locked! Glad I was only staying one night won't be returning

The view from the room was really nice- the rooms were clean and well equipped
However we both found the beds to be uncomfortable, and we were disturbed during the night from noise on the sea front (Noticeably loud motorbikes going up and down at 3am). While this isn't the hotels fault, I would expect a new hotel to have better double glazing! It's also worth noting for other guests who pay the extra for the premium rooms.
Also our room was opposite the lifts and were were disturbed by the 'ding dong' announcing the lifts arrival, and the voice of the lift saying 'door closing'. Even when the lift didn't call at our floor. The door to the room was not very soundproof.
Advert also didn't mention that parking is £15 per night- and - it's first come first served. When paying that much for a space I would at least expect to be guaranteed a space.

Here's a polished hotel review based on your experience:

We recently stayed for four nights at this hotel, which was advertised as dog-friendly. Unfortunately, our experience did not match that description.

On arrival, there was no sign of any dog-friendly amenities in the room, and we were initially allocated a room on a floor where dogs were not permitted, resulting in a wait while an alternative room was prepared.

We were also disappointed to discover the numerous restrictions placed on dogs. Dogs were not allowed on the beds, in the restaurant, or in the bar area. While we understand that some rules are necessary, these restrictions made it difficult to understand how the hotel can market itself as genuinely dog-friendly. Had this been made clearer before booking, we would likely have chosen alternative accommodation.

The staff were friendly and polite, but service was generally slow. On one occasion, it took around 40 minutes to receive four coffees despite there being only a handful of customers in the bar.

Another disappointment was the lack of evening meals, which was not clearly advertised when booking.

Overall, while the staff were pleasant, the hotel did not meet our expectations, particularly regarding its dog-friendly claims. Greater transparency about the restrictions and facilities available would help guests make a more informed choice before booking.

After not staying at this Ibis for 6 months in the hope it would have improved I am sorely disappointed.

Prior to check in, I had completed the necessary forms - the staff apparently could not print them, so I had to do a paper copy, whilst I filling this form out a member of staff was running around with a fly zapper, whilst his colleague filmed it whilst laughing.

I get to my room, there is bacon on the floor and no complimentary water (which hotels.com list in premium rooms) there was no hairdryer in the room, just an empty bag.

I had booked this room for a decent night's sleep after a busy few weeks, so what happens at 3.55am the fire alarm goes off. Who doesnt love being woken at that hour?! I will say the volume of the alarm is impressive, there is zero chance of sleeping through it. So, we all get to go outside in pyjamas, enjoy 4am air and await a fire truck. Obviously, there was no fire, so we are back in 25 minutes later, but of course the noise of hundreds of guests trying to get back into rooms means sleep evaded me for a long time. I woke up so late I could not shower and had a truly terrible day.

As this hotel is twinned with the Mercure the biggest issue it faces is staff seem to work at both locations, but don't seem to be trained on both computer systems. If the alarm had not gone off it would have been 4/5 but I visit hotels wanting a good night's sleep. This hotel seems to be beset by emergency services needing to visit.

A clean and modern minimalistic (read basic) hotel. There were a few gripes:- the room offered an ironing board(!), but no glass by the sink to rinse your teeth. The shower head was hand-held - no overhead shower so impossible to enjoy or wash properly. Only 4 tea bags, so not generous! Beware of being sold a car-parking space for £15 when you arrive, as there is very few and if you leave for the evening, it's unlikely that you will get a space on your return, which leaves you to look for a public overnight car park. I complained, and to be fair, was refunded without a problem. They could offer a lot more without it costing them much.

Really disappointed. Regularly visit Paignton and usually stay in the Travelodge.

Thought that staying at the relatively new Ibis Styles would be an upgrade.... How wrong could I be.

Check in was really good. The member of staff that checked us in was friendly and genuine.

From that point it all went downhill.

The design of the shower room doesn't work. It has a channel drain across the shower that doesn't collect the water. It has a half width shower partition that doesn't reach the floor. The water that splashes off of your body, hits the screen and runs down beyond the channel and floods the bathroom floor.

To prevent this you have to put down a towel which ends up completely soaked.

We noticed that after having a shower, the drain smelt of urine for 2 hours afterwards. This happened on all three days.

The second morning breakfast was farcical. We arrived about 8.50am and hit problems from the start. There were no mugs available for the coffee and we had to wait. Then no plates for toast, pastries etc for about 20 minutes then these items started running out.

It then got worse. Food items were running out and not getting replenished quickly.

A lady was told the eggs would be 3-4 minutes, so I dished up the rest of my cooked items and made a start. They finally arrived over 10+15 minutes later. I had finished.

No plates were available for about 15 on the pastries/fruit station.

Value for money (Inc parking) was far worse than the Travelodge. Quality was worse.

The room was nice enough, but I wish we’d have opted for a standard double rather than premium with a ‘sea view’.
The sea was obscured by the fairground, so we’d have been better off with a courtyard view, which I would have assumed would have also been less noisy. The bed was huge, which was lovely - but only three pillows were provided, with no spares, so wasn’t hugely comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, however the design of the shower meant most of the bathroom floor ended up wet.

The breakfast was a real let down, and both myself and my partner regretted booking it and would have preferred to have gone elsewhere.
We arrived downstairs at about 9:30 (aware from the posters displayed that the hotel recognised this as their busiest period) and were met with literally nothing at the buffet. There was no bread, beans, mushroom or egg. Just sausages. I’m a vegetarian, so this was of no use to me. Other guests were complaining that they had been waiting a substantial amount of time for additional/replacement items to be put out despite letting staff know that things had run out. After about 15 minutes extras started to arrived, but in dribs and drabs - so it wasn’t possible to get a ‘full’ plate of breakfast.
Having worked in hospitality, if you advertise a period as your busiest time, then surely you should be well prepped to ensure replenishments are available.

Ibis did not provide breakfast on day 1 and we had to go next door to the sister hotel Mercure. Following day Ibis was supposed to provide breakfast but when we went down tables hadn't been cleared and there was little food. We were told there was a problem with the kitchen and we had to go next door again to the Mercure.
That night we went to the bar and it was covered in dirty glasses and the girl behind the bar was barely coping.
They seem to have a shortage of staff or at the very least issues.

Probably the worst hotel stay I've had since 2020! I've stayed at this Ibis many many times, mainly it has been positive (and i have left plenty of positive reviews) but this stay was terrible.

Tried to check in, they advised room not ready, be about 20-25 minutes. I could see a lot of other people waiting. I am patient, i sat and had a drink and allowed an hour to pass before going back to up to the desk. Room still not ready, they can offer me another one. I'll take it, I've used annual leave and have plans! I get into the room and it was clear IMMEDIATELY it had been poorly cleaned. It apppeared that there was dried sick on the carpet, stains, spills, muck, wrappers and a general smell. I go back to reception, i explain my plans are already in tatters, can my room be cleaned if i go out.

I get back later and the surfaces had been done, the room freshened and a towel placed over the staining. I appreciate it was probably the best they could do.

The hallways were so full of takeaway boxes and bottles, the guests the night before had obviously been party animals.

All staff i interacted with were friendly but this Ibis now seems beset with problems, it is either being understaffed on purpose, or cannot retain staff.

It will be my last stay at this hotel unless i see the reviews jump up.

Noone expects funfair and fanfair from a budget hotel, but being able to check in and having a clean room really is a minimum

Stayed in room 415.
Pros, lovely uninterrupted views of Paignton Harbour, Brixham, Torquay and Thatchers rock. No matter the weather it is a glorious view, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Negatives, had to ask for the water that is meant to be included in premier rooms, this particular room is showing damage to the ceiling, with a frankly awful luminous green light that is on 24/7 and actaully casts shadows at night. If i had realised before bedtime i would have asked for a different room
Also, if you happen to be sat up in bed resting against the headboard and the room next door dont hold the door as they go in and out you will get an almighty THUMP through the wall.

Overall, unless the view is important the paid upgrade is not worth it.

One major issue which stopped me giving 5 stars. There is nowhere in the room with an electric socket within reach of a mirror. All women need to plug something in to deal with their hair and need the mirror to do so. It is a poor oversight which could easily be remedied by adding a mirror in one of the three obvious places.

Holiday in Paignton

Good location, short walk from town centre and opposite the pier.
On the negative, no fried or poached eggs available at breakfast, just scrambled and also no tomatoes.
Also, no hot food available after five pm.

More teabags please !

Check in was quick and easy, room was fine but i wasn't advised on check-in it was an accessible room but other than that stay was fine. Small point but it would be nice to have more than 2 teabags !

We used the Ibis for a mini weekend break. The hotel was in a good location to all amenities.

Rooms were comfortable and clean (would have loved a fridge) and quiet. Our room was located to the back of the hotel.


We did not try the breakfast but ordered a few beers in the evening. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice convenient hotel. Abit pricy on the parking charges and limited amount of parking spaces.

Room ok. Booked to stay with a dog. Said on website you would get dog bowls in the room. Nothing supplied. Breakfast is ok, food is hot. Nice choices.

Really enjoyed our stay here….really clean great view from our window and great location …. HOWEVER the only down side was the electric car charging. I’d drove 250miles and just made it. Only to find the bays are unmarked so anyone can park there, and I can’t blame them for doing so as you would never know. The spaces were always taken by non electric cars and when I raised this with reception she said there’s nothing she can do which really wasn’t helpful at all. Why have the electric charging if anyone can just park there it defeats the object. And really caused a nuisance because then with be ry little charge and late at night I had to drive around and try to find somewhere to charge the car which really ruined the first night for us.

Nice room, modern facilities. Nice sea view if you can get one. Breakfast in the restaurant adequate rather than outstanding. Overall a decent place to stay.

Pleasant stay

Very pleasant stay. The staff were helpful and efficient. We could have done with more tea/coffee/milk sachets and another extra pillow but otherwise everything was lovely.

When we checked in to room we found 2 pairs of ladies dirty underwear in the bed side cabinet
The room was very basic no fridge for my medicine!
One chair in the room!
No no sauna as advertised which hasn’t been working for months. The only reason we went in hotel because of all the extra facilities.
I complained to the front desk on three different occasions they all promised me they would make notes and let the management know. Hope nobody did surprise.
One of the staff said to method hotel is the basic of the basic but the price was very expensive. Would never stay in an Ibis hotel again.
We’ve stayed in the Mercure hotel next door, which was excellent !
Breakfast in the hotel was very basic not much on display. Staff looks very scruffy.
This was a very poor decision to stay in Ibis Hotel
Expedia website said the hotel was excellent, but they need to read what they put on there because it doesn’t work

Modern hotel right in sea front

Modern hotel with air con in rooms-
Poor bathroom design, use the shower and the entire floor gets wet.
Curtains let lot of light in at the sides, tv remote was complex.
Decent breakfast thou and the location directly on the sea front can’t be beaten!

My partner and I stayed last night and noticed the bathroom was dirty and clearly showed that it hadn’t been cleaned in a while. As for the breakfast there was no hash brown, tomatoes or even fried eggs with the continental, not much cereal or fruit to choose from either. In the room it was cold due to the air conditioning which we turned off a few times but it kept turning itself back on.

First time away with my partner on holiday for one night, the rooms were wonderful, nice spacious area and comfy beds. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Just wished the check in was before 3pm but overall wonderful hotel to stay in for a night away or two. Definitely coming back again.

Great views.

Beautiful sea front room with incredible views! Clean and fresh and stylish room. TV. was very annoying. The volume is set on a volume so low we could hardly hear it. We should have complained of course, but we're only there for 2 nights. Lovely looking hotel all in all. We would stay here again.

The hotel is nice but rooms are really dusty. I have a few photos I can send over if you provide me with an email address?
It's not ideal for someone like myself who suffers with asthma as it made my breathing much worse. There was so much dust in the carpets, on some surfaces, in the vents for the air con units. Really not acceptable. I suggest that the cleaners are provided with hoovers with full filtration system so that dust is not projected back out.

On arrival was told the computer had allowed for double booking and there were no rooms available. Was directed to their sister hotel Mercure (which was lovely!). The problem was that the payment was not transferred and payment had to be made to the Mercure, so paid twice. It took days to resolve

Room 207

We often stay at this Ibis as it provides value for money when booking in advance, so this is at least the 5th stay.

The bed is huge, but felt like it had a wooden plank securing the two beds together impossible to rest/lay on - so not ideal for a couple.

Aircon was a blessing as this visit was during a heatwave.

The hotel seems to struggle with staffing at times, bar can be painfully slow.

Front door still opens at a snails pace.

Staff have always been pleasant and friendly.

Noise from the lift is very annoying, I'm sure the volume could be turned down.

I'll always recommend this Ibis for a short break and for those unfamiliar with the area you couldnt get closer to the action - the beach is a few moments walk, plenty of bars and restaurants, 5 minutes to the train and bus stations.
