The Westcliff Hotel

The breakfast was lovely and the view was great.

Pretty much everything else was terrible. Receptionist was miserable, room was tiny and definitely not worth the price we paid. When we arrived the place smelled of paint as it was being refurbished (interior designer really needs to be shot, purple walls and a carpet that looks like a giraffe yuk!). We booked through the website where there was no mention of this taking place at all. If it was good enough for the Chelsea football team thought it would be good enough for us. It wasn't, unfortunately would not use again.

Good sea view. Nice bar.

Rooms were too hot - no air conditioning. Service at breakfast was very slow. Quality of bathrooms very disapointing. Not worth the money paid frankly.

location, and the sea views.Staff were very friendly.But in all a most enjoyable stay.

shower curtain in the room could have done with a good bleaching or renewing, as it was a white one but was orange in colour at the bottom was a little off putting ,lamp shades needed hoovering, had alot of dust on them !

the proximity to the sea; the shower in the bedroom; the breakfast

the lack of courtesy or general interest from the reception staff; information about local activities ie the garden show; the quality of the bedroom, and the cleaner trying to get into our room each day before we were ready to leave.

The location is excellent - nearby tho the cheap tacky 'fun' but in a quiet calm location

The only grumble was the bar staff - we were attending a wedding and all the serving staff etc were great - just let down by the unsmiling, grumpy, not bothered bar staff in both bars.

The receptionist was not very pleasant.

Food good, and helpful staff. Nice view from our window room 302. Within easy reach of town centre and seafront.

Really bad smell in the bar area. Air vent in our room led from the downstairs room, where the guest were talking very loud and argueing all night, we had to phone the night porter at 5.30, (4.30am but clocks went forward that night) because we had no sleep. We have stayed at this hotel before, but would think twice about staying again. £20 was taken off our bill because of the problem of noise.

location , view, breakfast

Everything was ok , but the hotel looked a bit dated and in need of a bit of refurb. i.e. decor , tv in room . Apart from that the hotel fulfilled my needs for a one nighnt business stay

The room was dirty, the bed very old and uncomfortable. Basically it need some serious up dating, but it gets away with it as it is the only hotel in town

Found the staff wonderful and helpful. Was a lovely hotel which may need a bit of updating in certain areas but was very clean. Stayed in one of the recently refurbished rooms which may have been pricy for the night but was heaven.

Hotel is within walking distance to Southend and the room had large windows which made it easy to have a cigerette without leaving the room!

Mirrors wer designed for short people, I am 6' tall and I had to lean down to see myself in the mirror in the bathroom.

our room was spacious, clean and very comforable and had a wonderful view. the staff were friendly and helpfull and the breakfast was perfect.
