The hotel is conveniently close to beaches and the South West Coastal Path, while Paignton Zoo, Pier and UNESCO Global Geopark are nearby for memorable days out to suit all ages.

Interior design is inspired by the 19th-century seafront houses and UNESCO Global Geopark that shape Paignton's history. Subtle touches nod to the glamour of the English Riviera, with natural shades bringing a botanical tone throughout the hotel. Guests can find state-of-the-art equipment in our fully-equipped gym.

Shocking communication

Aimee N 1/30/2026 TripAdvisor review

Absolutely shocking communication. I’ve booked to come here with my family during February half term and booked the zoo offer which is advertised as ‘including breakfast and 1 day entry into Paignton zoo’ .. I booked 2 adults and 2 children. Upon reviewing the booking confirmation it states that only 2 adults get into the zoo. This isn’t listed anywhere at all on their website that children included in the booking need to pay extra. I’ve emailed for clarification - twice - and used the online contact form but have continued to be ignored. It would be cheaper for me to book a different hotel and pay entry into the zoo additionally however the booking is non refundable. Trying to contact someone is impossible and when I ring them I’m just left on hold.

Dear 962aimeen Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration and poor communication you’ve experienced. This is absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide, and I understand how disappointing this must be—especially when planning a family break. Our zoo package should be clearly explained at every step, and I apologise that the information regarding children’s tickets was not made clear on your confirmation. I also want to sincerely apologise for your emails and contact form submissions not being responded to. You should never be left without an answer. I would really like to look into this personally and resolve it for you as quickly as possible. Please could you contact me directly at jason.parry@accor.com with your booking details? I will ensure this is reviewed immediately and that we find the best possible solution for your stay. Thank you again for bringing this to my attention, and I look forward to assisting you directly. With best wishes Jason

As above, it was a first class experience, and you could tell that the hotel is a 4 star. They offered all the services you would expect from the star rating The staff were lovely, and I felt like a valued guest. I also felt I got very good value for money. I had stayed in the hotel because there was no room for me in my family home, and this was a fantastic alternative. Unfortunately due to being with my family most of the time I could not try the restaurant at the hotel, but I have heard from family amd frie ds that the food is excellent, and I will try it the next time I am visiting.

Thank you so much for your outstanding feedback! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your experience with us was fantastic from start to finish.

It’s also lovely to hear you felt you received great value for money. We’re pleased that staying with us provided a comfortable and enjoyable alternative while visiting family, and we hope it made your trip even more special. Although you didn’t get the chance to try our restaurant this time, we’re thrilled to hear such positive comments from your family and friends, and we look forward to welcoming you back so you can enjoy it for yourself next time. Thank you again for such a thoughtful and generous review. We’ll be very happy to welcome you back to the Mercure on your next visit.
