Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Hotel Hudson from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Hudson is often praised for its spotlessly clean and spacious rooms, some even featuring a mini-fridge and fantastic curtains. The location is ideal, with just a short walk to central Torquay and the harbour, making it easy to enjoy the local restaurants and bars, as well as attractions like the Princess Theatre. Breakfast is a highlight for many, with a large variety of continental options, though some guests have noted that the fruit provided is whole and requires cutting. The hotel also offers parking solutions, including permits for nearby car parks.

uneven steps breakfast system

the location was good as it allowed easy access to nearby shops.

The bar was stated as open, but it closes early and is often unstaffed. I had to ring a bell with no response. external lighting was insufficient, made the uneven steps unsafe at night. the breakfast ordering system also seemed unnecessary given that the products were frozen.

The room was spacious with comfortable chairs near the window. It had a balcony. Everything looked clean. It included everything I needed . The bathroom looked newly decorated. It looked super clean.

The hotel bar closed early. No one staffed it. I had to ring a bell. Nobody came after that.

clean room helpful proprietor central location

the room was spotlessly clean and a good size. traditionally decorated, it also featured fantastic curtains. the proprietor assisted with luggage both on arrival and departure. the hotel's location is very close to central, just a couple of minutes walk.

the steps leading to the entrance are quite steep.
