Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Bahamas from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bahamas in Torquay is known for its spotlessly clean and spacious rooms, some featuring a fridge stocked with water and milk, as well as a hospitality tray. The hotel is conveniently located, placing guests within a short walk of Torre Abbey and approximately 10-15 minutes from Torquay station and the seafront. While some guests have noted an occasional smell in the bathroom drains, many rave about the superb breakfast, exceeding expectations even compared to 5-star hotels.

adequate but with issues

sloping bed chinese food smell
The bed wasn't great. It sloped downwards. i kept sliding off it during the night. also, the whole place smelled strongly of chinese food. Like a takeaway shop was in the lobby. it was overpowering.

wonderful stay

warm welcome tea facilities amazing fruit salad
I was greeted warmly and shown around the hotel. my room had tea and coffee facilities plus a mini fridge. the presentation of the optional breakfast really surprised me. I tried the fruit salad and it was amazing.
the bathroom drains had a slight odor, likely from disuse (i think i was one of the only guests).
