to get started.

Altough we had to checkout before breakfast time, staff prepared breakfast for us and it was very good.

Rachel, Malta

Very friendly employees and guests. The breakfast was very good. The hotel is beautifully decorated for the festive season. The en-suite bathroom in Room 11 is new and very clean. The room itself needs an upgrade but is well equipped with fridge, TV, coffee and tea making facilities, space heater and the bed is comfortable and I slept soundly. I arrived by air at Southend Airport and was glad I booked this hotel as no trains were running into central London on 26 December ( a holiday in the UK).

Simon, United States of America

Rooms were very comfortable, facilities very good, would stay here again

Linda, United Kingdom

Great place to stay... everyone really looked after us. Breakfast was perfect, the room was quiet and the bar great. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Marie, United Kingdom

Stayed one night to see a show at the Cliff Pavilion. On arrival, the hotel looks quite old fashioned – but inside the room, we were pleasantly surprised how new and clean everything was. Superb shower and even integrated USB sockets for charging the mobile in every socket. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was lovely too!

Brigitt, United Kingdom

We'd booked two separate single-occupancy double rooms, but had a phonecall before travelling to say that one wasn't available due to water damage from a burst pipe and would a two double-bedroom suite with self catering kitchen and sitting-room be acceptable instead ?. Excellent, even better than we'd booked, and cheaper. Staff so friendly and helpful, rooms very clean, beds comfy, excellent breakfast - lots of choice. I'd be more than happy to stay there again. Quiet location at night, but not too far a walk from the centre of things.

Paul, United Kingdom

Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Very close to sea.

Emer, United Kingdom

the room was clean, comfortable and a very good size. the en-suite was all as required, but the bonus was having a fridge in the room. the breakfast was good and the staff were very accomadating, with nothing too much trouble.

Bryan, United Kingdom
