Southend-on-Sea Vacation Rentals

"Pre-checked in online, staff welcoming, explained where our room was, breakfast and took payment for parking. Our room was on the ground floor, just before the main corridor of rooms to the left of the reception. Our door was opposite staff access to I think the restaurant, the window out onto the garden area. The room was clean (although the net curtains were worn), spacious with a large bed, fridge, desk and fan. Bathroom was clean also. The room was fine, but people seemed to gather outside our door as the corridor area was wider, looking for room numbers on the signage etc. We listened to many conversations, late into the night, hearing them continue to tell others in the party to be quiet when entering the corridor to the other rooms. We were woken at 3am to a group chatting loudly outside our door and again at about 6am to what sounded like staff moving trollies outside the door. The weather was not great, but i think in the summer you would have the noise of the bar garden late into the night too. We used the gym at 7am, a nice well equipped facility, and the pool looked nice also. The restaurant was ok, but expensive! We visited for dinner, my husband said the brisket was bland. The cheese board was nice, but no cutlery apart from a sharp knife was provided, and no small plates given to share. The staff were nice, but no check was done and we had to call someone over for the bill. Breakfast buffet was good, but the hash browns under cooked and the coffee awful."

"The stay was fine until I got electrocuted, faulty plug socket that was incredibly loose and electrocuted me. Told the receptionist who apologised and said someone would be in touch "

"Clean room . Although tv aerial not working in room 906 "

"A fantastic choice and really feels like a home from home run by fantastic hosts. I’ll be recommending to friends and family who are visiting. "

"Very good value for money "

"Clean and tidy room. Pub next door good food and service "

"Room seemed liked it was recently refurbished, so was in good condition, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom. Not all areas of the hotel were in such a good condition. Our dinner in the Bar and Grill was not a good experience, with no vegan options, poor quality food, mistakes with our order, and such a long wait for our food that we were offered a free round of drinks from the bar, I wouldn't eat there again if I lived locally! There wasn't enough floor staff on duty for a very busy Saturday evening. The breakfast was fine though. Overall an ok stay, but Village Hotels would not be on my list of hotels to visit again"

"perfect place for us to stay whilst working locally, great breakfast and accommodating when we had to leave early with rolls made instead"

"We had an amazing stay for my partners birthday. The little touches that the hotel did were so lovely. The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Make sure you eat at the Korean cowgirl as it was great potion sizes and good value for money. The only thing I wish was a bit better was the spa, if it was a bit bigger and had more loungers."
