8/10 Very good

Pros: Great location Free on-site parking Friendly and helpful staff Nice bedding and towels Nice breakfast with delicious hot chocolate Cons: Our room on this occasion not as nice our previous stay. More suited as a single, tiny bathroom with very low water pressure In the room 1 armchair had a few holes in it, maybe it should be removed Small table quite shabby, an easy fix would be to cover with a small tablecloth. Door missing from sliding door wardrobe.

A very good all round experience, very clean and tidy albeit a little outdated but close to seafront and easy walking distance from the station and the town centre. Attentive staff and good for cooked breakfast.

Well-equipped , quiet room. Bathroom very good. No elevator was a slight problem when carrying suitcases. Good location close to “cliff” walks.

Couldn’t fault this property, spotlessly clean, well positioned for the Cliffs Pavilion. The staff were excellent, very welcoming and flexible, providing a meal outside of dining hours to meet our needs. Would definitely visit again if in the area.
Shirley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Recommended, we will defo revisit here.

Have stayed here a few times now, room has always been spotlessly clean, breakfast is excellent & sets you up for the day, staff are all lovely & really helpful & friendly, a short walk from train station & beach, holiday booked to visit my son who has moved to the area & we will continue to stay here every visit, can’t fault it.

Great homely guest house near the seafront in Westcliff. Comfy bed and spacious room. Tasty full English breakfast. Nozzle on room radiator was broken but staff were able to turn it off for me. They stored my luggage the day I left. Would definitely return!

Lovely

10/10 Exceptional

The room we stayed in (3) seemed brand new. It was large with a comfortable bed and excellent walk in shower. We also discovered that they did evening meals, which were good value for money, tasty and filling. The male staff we met were very efficient without being over friendly, whilst our breakfast server, female, was both.
Martin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very happy. It did what it said on the tin. A little old fashioned.... which was right nice!! Local to The Cliffs for a show. Early check-in was very welcomed alone with parking, so able to go off, have a walk, a drink & enjoy the show.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

weekend break

The hotel was extremely friendly, all staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Our only negative relates to breakfast where we felt the quality of some of the cooked items could have been better, i.e.sausages, beans and hash browns. Overall we would recommend the hotel and would return if we were to stay in the Southend area again.
Terry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Probably the best older property we've stayed in on any English coast. Didn't realise there was a bar and restaurant until we got there so missed out on that in the evening but breakfast was great! Amenities in the room were super. Iron, hairdryer, fridge, tea/coffee, fluffy towels, most importantly clean and a comfy bed. There is even a small car park, which we haven't always found in smaller hotels, so nightmare seaside parking wasn't even an issue. Will be staying here again (and the wife agrees).
Oswald, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was double booked, so we had to have 2 rooms of which one was not en suite & had to share a toilet. My room was very cold & windows rattled all night, room 2 was very small. Staff were very friendly & helpful but whole hotel seems very dated
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not good at all because they disappointed me for family apartments I booked and gave me other rooms, so my family was not happy so we decided to check out 3night after instead of 7nights.
