We booked 2 rooms for my 75th birthday we have been staying here for quite a few years now and it’s always been lovely, But this time when we arrived the girl at the desk where we wanted to check in was on the phone and it sounded like a personal call for what we could hear anyway we waited while she finished her call about 3 minutes, we then checked in I went to my room which is lovely but when i opened the fridge expecting the usual water and soft drinks the only thing that was in the fridge was water but didn’t mind too much but when we went into my sisters room she had everything in he fridge so we thought we just mention it in case they had forgotten to refill the fridge , we spoke to the girl at the check in desk and she said it’s all changed now to save money! We said that the fridge was full in the other room and she said it was probably left over from the previous quest. In the morning when I went to make a cup of tea the milk in the fridge was sour we paid £260 plus just over another £100 for the extra food and wine we had for dinner.

Wonderful updated Victorian hotel on the seafront in Harwich, the port from which the Mayflower set sail in 1620. Very comfortable rooms, with views out over the harbor and estuary. Excellent breakfast. The old town in which the hotel is set is worth exploring too, and one cannot but notice the potential here. Harwich reminds one of Marblehead, in Massachusetts.

I booked The Pier for one night for my wife's birthday , We were looking forward to our evening meal as the reviews looked good sadly things did not go so well. The starters were ok but main course not great the restaurant manager was good and we came to a nice end to the evening. The breakfast the next morning was the best English breakfast I have eaten in any hotel. The restaurant staff were great at all times and room was very clean with a great view bed was so comfortable.

We had the mayflower suite which was very comfortable and clean. And all the staff were lovely. Had a lovely weekend staying there plenty of parking and a lovely walk around the harbor. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. We had a lovely evening meal and a very full English breakfast

We chose The Pier for our wedding anniversary weekend away. Never been to Harwich but The Pier enticed us. We had room 3 which gave us 3 windows and amazing views. Bed was sooo comfortable and the little touches were very welcome. The Elemis toiletries were all full and the complimentary soft drinks in the fridge (still/fizzy water and coke) were all replaced on day two. Coffee bags and very nice tea bag’s were also replenished with a little bottle of fresh milk. Breakfast was truly amazing and I sent compliments to the chef. Great choice but full English was hot and very tasty. Caroline (the Scottish lady!) was attentive, friendly and we felt as though we were the only people she had served that morning. What an absolute gem and a credit to The Quay. We had dinner on our anniversary night and this was also excellent, not cheap but the food and the service was out of this world. We spent two days in Harwich which was enough to see most of the historic landmarks. We found the “Banksy” but the internet isn’t sure it’s a genuine one but fun all the same. The Quay is in a perfect location and all the staff are lovely.

What a wonderful find! We 'escaped in secret ' on Saturday to the Pier. We were in the annexe and it was lovely! The bedroom was large with a separate sofa and large comfy chair at the far end by the TV. The bed was comfy with lovely linen and the bathroom was gorgeous with Elemis soaps and shampoo. Loved the complimentary mini bar and the lounge for guests which was well used. Breakfast was delicious and the service was friendly. Highly recommend!!

We went here for cocktails on Friday evening (16/08) The drinks were prepared by excellent staff, from scratch and were delicious. I had a Godfather and my friend had a Superstar Martini. The following morning, we went there for breakfast and we both had eggs benedict. The best eggs benedict I've ever eaten. Really good quality products and once again, the staff were amazing. Highly recommend this fantastic place and will definitely be back.

Lovely to be back at The Pier hotel, we try and visit at least annually and always stay in the Mayflower suite. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and remember the little details from previous stays that make all the difference. Caroline remains Queen of the breakfast service and always goes the extra mile. Thank you all for making our Ruby wedding visit feel special.
