Tired, shabby, and poorly executed. On arrival you are greeted by an untidy overgrown exterior. Disappointing first impression. Check in is person-less. Fair enough; we can live with that providing self check in is self explanatory and easy to follow. Newsflash...It isn't. The room is very tired and shabby and has been equipped with only the most basic necessities. Inadequate storage and hardly anywhere to place your items. The bathroom sink needs a plumber as the water takes a long time to drain away. The kitchenette isn't signposted anywhere. I had to tentatively open a door with a handwritten (texta) sign saying "Residents Only", hoping it would be the kitchen. Fortunately my guess was correct, but no thanks to any signage. Once inside, we decided we wouldn't use it. It was rather untidy and had piles of discarded cardboard recycling and a vacuum cleaner pushed into the corner. It honestly felt like a hostel. Wi-fi. Again, a hand scribbled texta notice on a slip of paper left in our room with the password. The only thing going for it is the location which is very well positioned close to the town centre. Other than this, we disliked almost everything else. Not recommended.

Mixed experience staying at Torrington Hall, lots of good points but some really basic stuff that badly let it down which left us feeling we probably wouldnt stay again. The room (St Alban) was on the top floor and was spacious and comfortable, likewise the shower room. It was quiet and we had a good nights sleep. Location for the city was good as well as the fact you can leave your car there for the full day of check out. The downsides: Lighting was a big issue, outside the building, in the communal areas, and inside the room was very poor - nearly all the lightbulbs were out or non existent. The hairdryer was great, but just nowhere near a mirror to plug it in. There was only one comfy chair in our double bedroom despite there being plenty of room. The room was mostly clean, but there was a bit of old dust in some places, but wasnt a massive issue for us. But probably the thing that tipped me over into leaving this slightly negative review was the housekeeper letting herself into the room a full 10 minutes before check outwithout knocking!! So overall it was good enough, but in my opinion a bit overpriced in its current operational state - all of which is fairly easily fixedwhich I hope they do!
