We were off season, but the staff and accommodations were friendly and comfortable. Literally across the street from the coastal railway (station 200 meters away) with the newly reconstructed seawall walk.
  5 minute walk to the center area of Dawlish, with the Black Swans. Close to restaurants as well.
  Reccomend Ocean's for a holiday stay!

Wonderful place

The hotel is very old, some of this I found quirky and the decor was interesting but this is no reason for the place to be dirty. My aunts room had a half eaten packet of ginger nuts in the drawer on arrival, a dirty fork in another drawer, and then some old letters in another. I was in another room upstairs, the place was quite dusty. The toilet was carpeted and no ventilation so it was damp with the carpet coming up by the shower. We didn't sleep well as the door to the room although locked was moving with a draft and making alot of noise, we tried to wedge it shut. The lady on arrival was very polite and the location is a short walk to the centre. There are only 4 spaces outside the hotel and you will have to pay to park opposite however you can only pay for 2 hours at a time at £2.60 a time, no option for a day ticket.

Quirky but dirty.

This is a very tired hotel and need ALOT of work. The fact that the room was clean was the only reason I didn't leave. The shower head didn't work, no fan in bathroom, window in bedroom didn't open so no ventilation,  the bed was extra bouncy and mattress old. Better and cheaper places to stay in Dawlish. 

VERY WORN HOTEL

I booked my stay at Oceans before I had read some awful reviews and once I had, it was with trepidation that I checked in for my three night stay. Without doubt, the hotel is in need of an up to date makeover, but I found the wall mural and the eclectic collection of wallpapers charming. The staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean, bright and a good size, with a sea view and a properly opening window! Breakfast is continental but there’s a large choice from cereal to boiled eggs to cheese and ham to yoghurt and toast. You can mix and match whatever you’d like and can have all of it if you wish.( I tried that but I was too full when I got to the yoghurts!). I say that this hotel  is good value for the price paid and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Pleasantly surprised

If you like number 9  show on the BBC that's a perfect place to stay
We had one night and it was quite good . Location was good and staff friendly.
I think place is really value for the money you pay!
I would come back there just to see all the wallpapers !

Something worth to stay not for fussy people

Oh dear! This place is blooming awful! 
Was supposed to stay for two nights for a short break before starting a new job. However;  it was a disaster! 

We checked in and could tell from the outside it was very damp and run down. We were greeted by a lady who seemed pleasant and well mannered. We were shown how to get in and out of the premises if we were back late. However we were then shown our room... we booked a sea view. We got a car view... dreadful   

The woman said “we don’t have any sea view rooms...” but the website said it did. 

We didn’t stay, but we did have a snotty message from owner. Trying to get the money back is a nightmare. Just avoid! They really aren’t worth it! 

Avoid! 

The whole hotel is outdated, dirty and in need of a refurbishment. The lady who answered the door was friendly however when I said that I booked a seaview room she said that booking.com lies about the room type and basically tough like it or lump it. We had a ground floor room overlooking a car and people walking past so felt very unsafe. The window was loose and did not lock. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls and dirty cup marks on the table plus stains on the carpet. Bathroom was exactly the same which put us right off of staying so booked into a beautiful hotel elsewhere. I complained to booking.com who called the property but they denied that there was anything wrong and refused to refund any money. We left a note and messaged the hotel owner to tell them that we won't be staying for those reasons but they got offensive and rude on email and text saying that they will refund me but then changing their mind and saying no they won't. Just avoid this place at all costs and go elsewhere. I'd recommend the Sefton Lodge in Paignton.

Awful

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is rather tired. The choice at breakfast rather limited. However great for walking along the coast to Coryton Cove and easy walking access to Dawlish. Our sea view was blocked because we were on the ground floor. I am sure on higher levels you would have a view of the sea.

Friendly and helpful staff

We booked a 2 night stay at the Oceans Hotel to round off a recent road trip.  This place is dreadful, we could not stay. The building is dilapidated, the inside is dark and so run down. In the times we are living in due to the pandemic, there were large boxes of opened cereal in the dining area not even in sealed containers. When we were shown to our room, it was so disgusting we could not stay there and promptly left. I have no issue with staying in a basic hotel as long as it's clean and has decent facilities.  Having extensively both in the UK and abroad, this is the worst hotel I have set foot in. My advice is do not book.

Unbelievably Awful

If you want a friendly cosy B&B then Oceans is for you. Comfy bed spotlessly clean. If you like trains a bonus. So convient to shops station and cafés. Breakfast was lovely served with a smile. Tessa Debbie and staff really helpful.
