Campanile Hotel - Basildon - East of London  

At £42 we didn't expect this hotel to be anything more than basic but basic is an understatement! Resembling an old holiday camp with woodchip walls and grubby carpets the room had a strong smell of urine. As we had arrived late and were leaving early we didnt ask to move but would certainly had if we had been staying longer. Before booking this hotel you should be aware that there are no power points in the room so no charging of phones or laptops or using hairdriers. This was a disgracful situation and one which the company should make aware to customers before booking. The companies claim to be an eco friendly one is based purely on the fact that you cannot use any electricity!!!

The rooms were very basic & old fashioned. Hotel seems to mainly be used for youngsters going out in Basildon so is very rowdy. Room did not have any plug sockets so difficult to charge phone, iron clothes, dry & straighten hair.

The price was very competitive and the cooked breakfast was excellent.

The rooms were dirty and smelled of tobacco and damp. There was a crude drawing, draw in the dirt on the window. The whole place looked and felt like a series of rabbit hutches, certainly not as advertised - a hotel.

Less costly than other hotels plus very near to where I am currently working

The hotel needs a total revamp. Rooms I have stayed in have had a cracked toilet, cracked sink, torn curtains, faulty extractor, chipped desktops, faulty heater, missing vent in the bathroom, smelly (sewage smell). Some of the exterior woodwork is rotten with rusty metalwork and cracking concrete.

good location for where we wanted to be.everything was ok

no hair drying facilities

staff very helpfull ,room very clean

location

It's availability.

Motel not a Hotel, located beside a major road that doesn't quiten down till approx 3AM. Rooms require desperate modenization, (Double glazing, a ventilator fan in the bathroom, a fridge would be nice, Twin room not suitable for a family of 3). Overpriced 2 star (barely) Motel.

Really nice, quet, friendly and only 20 mins drive from southend the purpose of our visit x

Nothing, was well accomodating, and friendly, this was a weekend break for both myself and my wife to get away from all the stress and strains of every day life, really enjoyed thank u so much x

Location - although sat nav will take you past the junction and you need to travel along the carridgeway before being able to turn arround - can be frustrating

the rooms are tired - but if its just a room they are fine

The room was so clean and fresh smelling. The staff were very helpful.

The first room I was initially given smelt awful however it was changed without any trouble.

Good basic hotel, no frills but mid priced so fine. All worked well for me

No real complaints, but the entrance from the road could do with better illumination

There was a problem with getting there with the sat nav; something to be aware about. It'll send you down the carrageway to do a U turn when you cant
