The Mercure Paignton Hotel is often described as modern and spotlessly clean, conveniently located just a short walk from the beach and opposite the pier. Guests appreciate the spacious, nicely decorated rooms that include large, comfortable beds, with some even enjoying ultra HD TVs. Though some guests have occasionally noted issues with parking, the hotel offers a good breakfast and is welcoming to dogs, even providing reserved tables near the front each morning.

really good stay

modern bathroomseparate sinkslovely sea view
i RECEIVED a room upgrade upon arrival, which i appreciated very much. the room was equipped with a modern bathroom that featured two separate sinks. the bedroom area also contained a mini-fridge, which i used to store my drinks and snacks. the sea view from the room was lovely.
i DID notice that the breakfast buffet could get quite busy during peak hours.
Rooms
9/10
the room included blackout curtains, which ensured a dark environment for sleeping. There were also several conveniently placed power outlets next to the bed for charging devices. The in-room safe was easy to use and large enough to store a laptop.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast buffet had a wide selection of items, including fresh fruit, pastries, and hot dishes. I especially appreciated the made-to-order omelet station, and the coffee machine brewed a good cup. High chairs were readily available for families.
Service
10/10
the staff at the front desk provided quick check-in service. i requested extra towels and they arrived at my room promptly. The concierge offered helpful recommendations for local restaurants.
Facilities
8/10
the hotel had a well-equipped gym with treadmills and free weights. i noticed that the indoor pool was heated and had a lifeguard on duty. Complimentary Wi-Fi was accessible throughout the hotel.

clean roombeach location
i stayed in a classic double room and it was very clean. the location was excellent, just opposite the beach, and it was easy to get to from the train station.
the hotel offers breakfast to its own customers and also to the customers from the budget ibis next door. it meant that there was a long queue at all times.
