Hotels With bar in Essex, United Kingdom

It was a lovely hotel. Tho only issue was we could hear the lobby music till midnight, As we was on the first floor. The people were lovely and the beds were comfortable honestly best hotel beds I’ve slept in. The view from the hotel room was beautiful I would stay again 100%

The hotel is right next to the University of Essex, making it very convenient to get to the school. The rooms are spacious with balconies and great views. However, the bathroom facilities are a bit basic; the shower curtain is narrow, barely covering the entire shower area, so water splashes everywhere. Public transportation is inconvenient; it's a 10-minute walk to the bus stop.

Everything was fine in till I open the window and the who thing came off meaning the window fall out and I was with my family on the 5th floor and it’s a family room 518 so that was dangerous for my family to be fair so please sort it out asap before someone makes a fat claim

The room was clean and tidy with great natural light, and the bedding was comfortable, leading to a very restful sleep. The facilities were complete, and the soundproofing was good, so it was quiet overall. The front desk staff were warm and attentive, making both check-in and check-out quick and easy. The location is convenient for getting around, and it offers excellent value for money. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip.

Very quiet area you could swarm an apocalypse had happened If you require medication put in the fridge ask the female receptionist the male is nasty and just outright refused Breakfast is good and restaurant attached to hotel is good Also Manager of restaurant is great Not far from station 10 minute walk with tunnel under road

Right next to Southend beach and good links to shopping centre and shops. The phone in the hotel room 308 didn’t work at alll so had to go down a lot to request service. Also they gave me a spare duvet which I requested to reception but got it 12 hours later from housekeeping.  The air conditioning and heater in ro9m was very good and comfy king size beds too with a good fridge. Overall me and my wife were happy with the hotel and would stay here again. I ordered food from uber eats app and they dropped off at reception area. Also booking a cab fwas quick and only 5 mins from Southend central station or 9 mins walk froom station to the hotel.

Great hotel with a lot of history to it, and as such a very nice place to stay at. Friendly and approachable staff. Unfortunately, I had booked two rooms without adequate facilities; one room did not have hot water and the other had a malfunctioning shower. Could have been bad luck, and I suspect the hotel management to be able to fix this issue.

I booked a last minute night away with the children: afternoon tea followed by an overnight. The afternoon tea was delicious and I was really well catered for as a vegan diner. The Grand Hall was a beautiful setting for afternoon tea. The children also loved their food - the sandwiches were much simpler for the children and they got seconds based on how delicious they were. Our room was large and had a sofa bed and a cot bed. We enjoyed playing in the grounds including the play area, outdoor chess, boules, the scavenger hunt and the fitness trail. My son also loved playing football in the garden - he was excited that there were goals set up. We had dinner in The Fox Bar and had drinks and played cards in the Grand Hall afterwards. Breakfast the next morning was delicious. We were really excited to find newts in the pond. They would love to stay again. I would love to come for an overnight with my partner to experience it differently without the children.

Great hotel . Liked ny especial stay learned more aplied tge bettrr self . Nearly time to fall awsy and yes i packed the case myself and tge ohibe is seitcged ooff .

I am going to make a point about the service in Novotel: I was greeted by Gita and she has done an absolute excellent job. I have asked for a quiet room so I can have some sleep as had an early flight. I have passed my special thank you to Gita when I was leaving, through a receptionist man, early morning. The hotel room was ready on my arrival but obviously it needs updating as looks scratchy, and shabby but it didn't effect me at all, for night before the flight it was excellent! I would definitely recommend the hotel and will be back again. Many thanks to Gita and manager Jastina.
