Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Breakfast was excellent with quality and quantity of food.
A superb location but the premises could do with some external maintenance investment to smarten it up.

Liked: Cleanliness
Comfortable beds and adjustable heating as weather became cold and damp. Very clean. I had anticipated a few toiletries so didn't bring shampoo or anything. Biscuit and decaf coffee not resupplied on second day . Staff helpful but scarce. Tea/coffee machine was not operating sometimes nor enough clean cups available. Nice fresh fruit salad at breakfast but smoked salmon very salty. Breakfast wasn't free but included in cost btw
1st room offered had toilet seat in broken unsafe condition
Who cleaned room and therefore did not even wipe around the toilet seat ?
A nice touch would have been a hotel courtesy car for station or racecourse on racedays

Stayed many times at the Passage House as convenient but rooms are tired and on the last occasion the water was not very hot for both the shower and sink. Breakfast cereal choices have become more limited but the cooked breakfast was excellent and well presented. Also on the plus side a comfortable bed.
We have been staying at the Passage Inn Hotel for many years & we’ve always returned as we have enjoyed it & we have recommended it to friends who have stayed & still returning like us.

The bed was SOO comfortable, sheets and towels lovely, white & clean and we had a really good night's sleep. Great view.
However, the room was very dirty, carpet filthy and not hoovered with all sorts of debris clearly visible just under the bed. The bathroom was tatty with dirty brown edged mastick and the uplighting highlighted ancient looking cobweb 'curtains'. The phone and kettle were ancient and filfthy. The bath drained too slowly not to have a blockage problem. My mum would not have stayed in this room!
Most staff were lovely. A bearded man we encountered behind the bar was a total misery.
I have stayed at the Passage House a few times as family members and grandchildren live within walking distance. I have always found the staff friendly and professional. The room was spacious and although the facilities are a little tired and dated it was comfortable enough. Breakfast was good and hearty with plenty of choice. For the first time I walked into Newton Abbot along the river footpath which meant I could leave the car at the hotel which was definitely a bonus for a day at the races.
Room was adequate, hotel a bit run down, staff friendly enough but not overly attentive. Room looked clean, however in the morning the bathroom floor got very wet, I used one of their white towels to mop it up and it ended up black!! Also cobwebs on bathroom ceiling, rust patches on radiator etc. The hotel has had its day and just feels a little unloved.
Good Hotel, Decent family room for 3. Only stayed for a night. Hot breakfast took ages to arrive, if they could fix that I'd give 5 stars.
Hotel looks a bit dated.

Property is in a lovely area, over looking the estuary, staff are very friendly. The rooms are a bit dated but clean.
11/10 for the location. Great views and direct access to a lovely walk into Newton Abbott. Large carpark, leisure facilities were good. What let us down was the breakfast on the first morning. Got sat down then forgotten about. When we did eventually get our traditional English order the hash-brown was mouth burning but the rest of the plate stone cold! However the next day had an Eggs Benedict and it was fine so we won't be put off staying again.
Lovely hotel brilliant location really pleasant stay

3* hotel at moment
Standard 3* hotel, all was very nice it's just coming to stage where some things need updating eg bath/shower was tiny to point that shower curtain couldn't stop clinging and the shower was didn't have enough power
As said, all nice enough and staff are very friendly
