Family room is facing to the space between the buildings, which makes the room dark. Also there is no nice view (actually bad) from the window. In the morning the pigeons wake us up.

Weekend getaway.
Hotel room walls were a bit thin and could hear neighbouring guests. Was unable to listen to tv at night as had guest next door complaining about hearing our tv. Maybe hotel should consider refurbishing the walls for noise councilation. Other than that was a comfortable stay and good size room.

The service, value, location and view were great. Unfortunately the water in my room ran cold the night before and morning of my overnight stay. Unfortunately i didn't have the time to inform the staff in the morning as i had to get to work, so they didn't have a chance to address it. Really enjoyed waking up to the view of the sun rising over the sea. Staff were very helpful, informative and friendly.

Good overnight stay
One night stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Although the hotel was older it was tastefully decorated and clean. The bed was very comfortable with immaculate bedding and the bathroom was modern and very clean, would benefit from a shelf in the bathroom for personal toiletries and a hook to hang dressing gown etc.. The full English breakfast was self service and plentiful but there was only very thin bread for toast and no croissants, the coffee was very weak and lacked flavour. Would recommend staying if visiting Southend.

Could be so much better....
This is a beautiful building in an enviable cliff-top location but overall experience is...'adequate'! Parking before 9pm is an issue. Reception was functional but not friendly; same for checkout. Bed comfy and clean. Bathroom had problem with toilet cistern - should have been spotted by housekeeping, as should the stains on comfy chair, dirty floor of lift, creaky/dirty stair edgings.

Good overnight comfortable stay
Typical old hotel Great staff, but limited eating options out of season so i ate elsewhere Didn't have breakfast Great views over the bay - but the industrial areas on the other coast are a bit of a shame, but you cant move them :) Room looked as if its had a fairly recent refurb - but they maybe forgot the bathroom There is far more to Southend than i imagined. Yes, the town is somewhat run down but there are some amazing new eatery's along Westcliffe are which we all very busy which surprised me

Just Not Happy!!!
I came all the way from West London for a night away and I am sorry to say it was not a good stay? We were told on arrival that the parking was free but is not?? We both got Parking Tickets as you must leave before 11am. The Lift was like something out of Faulty Towers two people with bags it was full and it was so so slow? We wanted to have drinks in the room we asked for Ice and we were told that they did have much? The WIFI was not working? Then at Breakfast there were no tea spoons because of the Function the night before??? Have to say the Staff were nice but overhaul we wont be back

A very convenient location to the best side of the sea side, with a little adjustment, this hotel could be turned around from “not bad” to a best place to stay.
