“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the backpackers. The staff were helpful, and I went to dartmoor which was organised by the hostel as well. The room I was in was lovely and had a good view, so it was good value for money! I have met some lovely people who I hope to stay in contact with, it was a great experience. I would definitely visit again.” Leanne, UK,  Aug 2011

“I had a great time at Torquay backpackers and met many great people! The staff is excellent and very easy going – the best I have come across so far! The rooms are clean and I even had a shower en-suite and sea view! It is very close to the city centre, harbour and all the other attractions and I would definitely stay there again!!!” Gesine, Germany July 2011

“Best hostel stay so far in the UK (and I am a traveller). Really helpful and costumer-caring staff. Hostel has a lot of charisma. Shops are just a few mins walk away. Very comfy beds, clean showers, well equipped kitchen, free tea/coffee & milk, chilly (big flat) TV lounge with free wifi. I joined a Landrover trip for little money which was fun. I will definitely come back!” Virginia, Germany July 2011

“Awesome place! London hostels could learn a lot from the Torquay!” Aidrian, UK, Dec 2010

“One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Although the hostel is an old building its very clean and modern inside without losing its character. Kitchen and dining room very first class and there was a huge collection of DVDs to watch. Finally a hostel that doesnt try and rip off backpackers by offering free internet and Wifi. About 10 or so long termers that were very open and friendly and welcoming to a traveller on my own. Great place to stay think I can see why people don’t leave!!!!” Bradley, Canada, Oct 2011

“Great hostel! My room was quite small, but we could arrange ourselves. I don’t have anything to complain about, would recommend it and stay there again myself.” Julia, Germany, July 2011

Thank you.” Lottie, UK, July 2010
