Hotel The Chichester Hotel

Old London Road, Wickford, SS11 8UE, United Kingdom –

A restaurant or other place to eat at The Chichester Hotel

A bed or beds in a room at The Chichester Hotel

A porch or other outdoor area at The Chichester Hotel

The breakfast was reasonable but with a limited choice of cerials and only orange juice. But the location was in the country and very peaceful and relaxing

Lovely staff who helped me order take away as no food available from the hotel

Anita

Absolutely dreadful stay. Weather was bad but no provision had been made to heat the rooms ready for occupancy. So cold and with only lukewarm hot water you could not even dare to take a shower. It was like sleeping in an icebox. We complained and have been promised a £25.00 compensation but to date this has not been received.

location was fine and the staff were very nice and helpful. I appreciated having a ground floor room. Water in the bathroom was nice and hot. Free Wi-Fi was good too. I did not use the TV or the shower as I didn't think the shower curtain was up to the job. The bath was great but could do with a safety handle on the wall and a non-slip mat.

False fire alarm at 3.15am which took a long time to silence which went off again at about 4.05am. Why does this happen so frequently in British hotels?

Better enforcement of non-smoking - the stench of cigarettes on approaching our room was overpowering (to be fair, there was no smell within the room).

Declined when asked if we were dining with them and was glad we did as restaurant was deserted with a notice to contact reception if we wanted a drink. (So went to pub down the road for an excellent meal). Steep steps up to room when carrying cases.

“Hotel and its Menu are in need of an overhaul, it's very dated. Fire alarm went off 3x in the night.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
There was no choice of milk at breakfast i.e. Semi Skimmed, Almond - or Oat milk and you need more choice of healthy cereals. There was no Weetabix or Oat Granola. There was no choice of juice either, only orange juice, and the Kiwis on offer in the fruit bowl were rock hard, there were no bananas. Also no decafeinated tea or coffee available at breakfast or in my room and no sachets of low-fat, low-sugar hot chocolate or any biscuits in the room. The sugary muffins and cakes on the reception desk were dire and sickly sweet, you could maybe have some healthier options such as nut bars, dark chocolate or little packets of oat biscuits. No room service menu in the room and there was no 'do not disturb' sign to hang on the door handle. The towel rail in the bathroom was stone cold, so was the radiator, even though I turned it up. It was quite chilly, especially after I had been outside in the night as the fire alarm woke everyone up 3x the first night of my stay :( There was a lot of dust on the skirting boards and around the radiators. The loo seat wobbled and the flush was hard to work. There was mould on the joints of wall tiles and bath :( The light over the washbasin did not work and I would have liked a magnifying mirror by the big mirror over the sink so I could put my make up on. You need a non slip mat in the bath as well, I didn't dare use the shower. The bed was quite hard and the mattress springs were creaky, however I slept well the 2nd night. No blinds or net-curtain at the window so curtains need to be closed to prevent people looking in. You mention spa treatments? I did not see any evidence of them being available as an extra option. I saw only notices and leaflets for weddings and Christmas. Are there no local attractions nearby? What about RHS Hyde Hall gardens and the Butterly and bird centre?
location was fine and the staff were very nice and helpful. I appreciated having a ground floor room. Water in the bathroom was nice and hot. Free Wi-Fi was good too. I did not use the TV or the shower as I didn't think the shower curtain was up to the job. The bath was great but could do with a safety handle on the wall and a non-slip mat.

“All in all a disappointing and would not recommend to anyone”
- • Leisure trip

The bedroom of a whole was very tired looking and dated needs a complete re fit and make over. We were woken at 3am to the fire alarm going off which seemed to go on for ages, stopped then went off again just as going back to sleep a short spell of quiet then of again it went, I appreciate it was going of for a reason ( apparently a very thoughtless quest smoking in their room) but no apology in the morning for a very disturbed night. A lovely breakfast would have been nice after a very disturbed night but very disappointed with the dregs of some scrambled egg, bacon and what can only be described as cheap sausages and baked beans! ( this was at 8am so not even very late) a happy face and an offer for some tea and coffee would make a difference instead of having to get that yourself along with everything else.

Unfortunately the bath was situated under a sloping roof, which meant the shower over the bath was somewhat cramped, especially for someone tall.
It was great to have a comfortable room with a sofa making a proper sitting area. It was well located for various places that we wished to visit. The staff were helpful.

Only a couple of small things here - The sink in the bathroom didn’t drain properly and the floor flooded when using the shower. When I asked for the children’s menu I was told that there wasn’t one even though it appears on the website. However, the staff serving were very helpful and they did offer the option of a children’s size portion and were able to do some breaded chicken for my young son which wasn’t on the adult menu
The staff were very friendly and the room was a decent size and still felt roomy even with a sofa in there. Very comfortable bed
