It’s more of a guest house than a hotel. Decent location for the front and within walking distance of the centre. Stayed in a double room which was clean and comfortable. Large TV showing football in the bar and Stella on draught at a reasonable price. Breakfast was ok. Staff friendly.

Value for money was good. Attentive staff and a good quality breakfast. Room and en-suite were clean - bit of a draught from a window/curtain that needs updating (room 15). Overall excellent and will definitely re-book in the future.

What a lovely hotel. We stay in Southend a lot - the place we used to stay at closed, so this was our first time trying somewhere new. We are so pleased with our choice. The staff are lovely, the rooms clean & comfortable, & the breakfast is a stand-out. We can’t wait to go back. Thoroughly recommended.
