The Tower HotelMain Road, Dovercourt, Harwich, CO12 3PJ (Show map)
Very good,
Score from 182 reviews
“ Nice location. Nicely updated.friendly staff. Would highly recommend. ”
M.,
Tulsa, Ok
Built in 1885, in the Italian style, as a private residence, the main feature of this imposing building is the attractive tower at its northeast corner. It has a wealth of ornamental ceilings, and impressive architectural features. It is not surprising to find this is a classified Grade II-Listed Building. Set in its own pleasant leafy grounds, The Tower Hotel retains an air of bygone elegance. However, in line with its admirable adaptation to its new life as a hotel, it has wide, easy access to the main road at either end of its sweeping drive. Country house: 13 rooms The most recent booking for this hotel was made on Jun 19 at 15:03 from Netherlands.

A really unique experience. A place with a lot of character. Truely beatiful interior design. I am almost prepared to say that it is worth visiting Harwich just of the sake of staying at that hotel. Both the dinner and the breakfast menus could be more diverse.

Rooms were large and very comfortable. Nicely furnished. Dinning room is beautifully decorated. Meals were resonably priced. Hotel is well situated near the center of town. Close to shopping and the beach. Short taxi ride to the cruise port. There is nothing we did not like.

We chose The Tower Hotel because of its location to Harwich port. Perfect for a comfortable night within easy shot of the port. A wonderful setting and considerate staff, however, it appeared as though one person had to wear too many hats: receptionist, waitress, bar maid, bus boy, chef?

Staff and decor in main areas. Rooms were basic with very soft mattresses. The continental breakfast was over priced. We expected more than toast and cereal for £5+.

It was warm, welcoming all the staff were very good and recognised us from previous stays at the hotel. The food and wines were good as we have come to expect. There was nothing at all that we didn't like.

Loved the features of the building, the staff were on hand and friendly. Had a peaceful night's sleep, comfortable bed and not rushed in anyway for meals. Was deceived on the perception of what the rooms would look like in comparison to the websites photo's. I assumed all the rooms looked luxurious as shown also in brochure, however ours (room 4) was rather basic.
