Review 3:Loved everything
Review 4:Perfect.Absolutely everything. Five star luxury at an affordable price. Attention to detail, lovely staff/hosts, wonderful breakfast, comfy bed and easy parking. What more can I say?
Review 5:Everything,I am very fussy and they came up trumps. I could not find a fault. The room was very well laid out and spotless,a good size bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and the staff were very pleasent. Will stay again.
Review 6:Would have been great to have a full length mirror somwhere in the room and also a bath mat. There was only a slip mat for the shower. Was a windy day and could hear whistling through the night through window. None of these spoiled my stay though!
Review 7:Lovely decor, great service and excellent choice for breakfast. Was delicious.
Review 8:Lovely guest house, room modern light airy & clean. Breakfast lovley and the staff very friendly and helpful. A great place and would definitley book again.
Review 9:the sound of the busy road meant we had to keep the window and balcony door shut to be able to sleep, so lost all the benefits of the sea view and air
Review 10:lovely sea view, clean and cared for place with helpful friendly staff and a great breakfast
Review 11:Internet was very poor and kept dropping out.
Review 12:Perfect location for my work in town. The rooms was lovely brand new fittings and very clean. Very generous coffee and tea facility in the room with several choices of hot drinks. The staff where amazing. Friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic very fresh and the lady serving could not have been nicer and more helpful. I will definitely be back very soon and would highly recommend this incredible hotel. There is a lot of love in the place, as a family run hotel they really care about their customers. Well done
Review 13:Small moan...no mirror in bedroom.
Review 14:Everything. Spotlessly clean, fab decor, great location, 1st class food and attention to detail surpassed even the 5star hotels we have stayed in. Perfect :)
Review 15:Wi-fi could be a bit better - although there was wifi in all the rooms, and the owner did tried to help, we simply could not get any signal whatsoever in any of our devices.
Review 16:Very clean guest house, nicely decorated room; seems like the whole place was newly renovated. We took the room which had sea views and the views of the sunset were simply breath-taking. Nice breakfast, attentive staff. Highly recommended.
Review 17:Only one small window in the room.
Review 18:Room was spotless clean with good quality bedding. Nicely decorated. Excellent shower with perfect water pressure. Very nice breakfast, very well cooked. Very friendly and polite staff. Quiet location but not too far from the busy pier and bars.
Review 19:The staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you, breakfast was excellent, great choice and good quality. The room was spotless and decorated lovely. All in all it is definitely the place we will be staying in future.
Review 20:Advertising parking at this guest house is misleading. There are a few parking spaces in the road outside but all the side roads nearby have double yellow lines. Finding parking in the evening was very stressful. I chose this guest house on the basis that there would be parking available so was disappointed.
Review 21:A friendly guest house in a good location. Clean and comfortable.
Review 22:We liked room number 5 ,very comfortable , with a great view of the sea. The welcome we had,the food was good and plentiful, the staff were so cheerful and helpful. Thank you.
Review 23:The only fault was I had to share a Double with my Brother, it wasn't the fault of the Guest House, it was Booking.com for not passing on the details.
Review 24:The Guest House, The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful,The room was very clean The whole Guest House was very clan and well presented. I would recommend to anyone
Review 25:Lovely decor in room (we had deluxe room which was a good size). Ensuite was very clean and had large and powerfull shower. Breakfast was delicious - fruit salad, full english, eggs benedict - lovely!
Review 26:If I could change anything it would be parking which was a little difficult but it was a Bank Holiday wekend.
Review 27:Very clean and modern facilities. The staff were so friendly and the food was excellent! I would definitley recomend them and would definitly sray there again.
Review 28:Mirror in bedroom balanced on radiator and not on wall which was not ideal when trying to put your make up on.
Review 29:Beautifully decorated accommodation, very friendly staff.
Review 30:Simply location: busy road, not a pleasant walk to centre or Arches, with only a handful of rather dull restaurants nearby. Television on in breakfast room!
Review 31:Perfect simple seaside decor in whites, greys and blues. Stylish, comfortable, clean room - great duvet/pillows - with super good sized shower room. Light filled sea view.
Review 32:No dressing table area in bedroom, just small shelf with tea facilities.
Review 33:Beautifully decorated bedroom and common areas. Fantastic sea view room with balcony. Rooms were made available early for us as requested.
Review 34:We arrived at 7.00pm. No=one answered the doorbell. We rang the phone no, the girl said she would contact her partner and ring us back but she didn't. We waited 20 minutes and another guest came along, let us in and rang the owner who then appeared. No apologies. Not the best way to run a business and give a good first impression. Other guests had the same problem.
Review 35:When we finally got in everything was fine - the room bright, beds comfortable, all spotlessly clean and excellent breakfast.
Review 36:The staff were more than helpful. The hotel was immaculate and our deluxe room with balcony was as described. Breakfast was very well cooked with fruit to start , then full english , toast , tea and coffee and juice, nothing was too much effort would recommend .
Review 37:Nothing at all!
Review 38:Great location, very clean and beautifully decorated. Lovely breakfast with alot of choices and check out was 11am which meant the morning wasnt rushed
Review 39:The only problem we had was that we picked the Beaches as it described itself in a 'quiet' part of the sea front, when in fact it really was very noisy with a busy road right outside. Traffic did not calm down until after 11.30pm and started up again before 6am. I chose a double size sea facing balcony room but in hindsight wish I had picked the king size room at the back of the house. The road noise might not be a problem for many, and the view IS nice, but for light sleepers it will be an issue. The double glazing helps but then you cant have the window open, which makes the room stuffy. Could use a better mirror in the room too as the one in the bathroom isn't suitable for make up or checking your outfit. There was outside parking when we arrived at 3.30pm but none when we returned at 9pm and the 200 space free car park nearby only had 2-3 spaces left , which for a Tuesday in mid season doesn't bode well for the high season.
Review 40:The Beaches is exceptionally clean and modern, tastefully furnished and decorated to a very high standard, including blackout lined curtains. The breakfast room is lovely and the staff very attentive and friendly.
Review 41:Our room was on top floor so for the less able might be a struggle.
Review 42:Everything was A1.Amazingly clean, lots of breakfast choice perfectly cooked, lovely staff.Quiet area but near to town.
Review 43:Nothing bad really, but two comments for others: the charge was taken by the time we arrived so I could not change the reservation card or get a receipt on leaving; and like most seaside guest houses, the stairs are quite steep to top rooms, so if you have a mobility problem like I did (not their fault) you just need to be aware in advance.
Review 44:All staff concerned for our wellbeing, friendly and helpful; bedroom with balcony a real plus; it has all been beautifully modernised, light and airy; breakfast in conservatory where fresh fruit plate was a great idea, wish every hotel would offer that. Highly recommended.
Review 45:Not applicable!
Review 46:As well as all of the above, they went to the trouble of providing gluten free bread following my request at booking. Lovely en-suite and toiletries provided.
Review 47:Only issue had to find a parking place, but it was OK. Perhaps they should put information in your room of places to eat and visit in Southend and in the surrounding area.
Review 48:Lovely clean place and comforfable, breakfast was excellent.
Review 49:Nothing to dislike. Everything was to the best standards.
Review 50:Location was easy to walk to town.friendly welcome,the establishment was excellent. Best night sleep we have had in a hotel. Breakfast was well above average, with lots of choices. Recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Southend.
Review 51:The TV signal was a bit patchy.
Review 52:I found standards higher here than in some of the hotels nearby. Tasteful decor, peaceful room, no noise from neighbours. The staff were attentive and dedicated. The breakfast was cooked to perfection. I will be back!
Review 53:Only thing we struggled with was the parking place, there was no free one at all in the surrounding and we got a 35£ fine from a kind policeman so they may cancel it...
Review 54:Excellent sea view, very kind staff, stylish romantic room, balcony, well presented breakfast. Perfect for a day off or two!
Review 55:Rooms not cleaned (bins emptied etc.) every day. There was no dedicated parking, it relied on a poor quality public car park 100m away. No lock on the inside of the bedroom door.
Review 56:Friendly staff, willing to help in any way. Bright and airy room with a balcony overlooking the sea. Plenty of good food at breakfast.
Review 57:Everything was great. It's all newly refurbished, on the sea side, decorations were beautiful everywhere, great room size and cleanliness, big varieties for breakfast in the conservatory where you enjoy the sunlight, and cheerful friendly staff. This is definitely getting into my list of "incredible places".
Review 58:The room itself is very cozy and bright. The bed is extremely comfortable and the shower room at Executive double is really big. The views that open from the balcony are amazing. You have a friendly staff and home cooked breakfast that will make you feel as staying and your granny's.
Review 59:Couldn't fault it
Review 60:Beautiful decor, very spacious rooms with fabulous seaview and balcony (room 5). Breakfast excellent and staff very attentive even though they were fully booked and busy the time we went down - which we were pre advised it would be.
Review 61:Was not given room I had booked. Was told I had had a phone call explaining change of room and I had agreed to it..I had never received any such call, if I had I would of cancelled booking! Breakfast was very slow..45 minute wait and even then didn't get it all. Other guests complaining too. Needs more organised staff to justify room rate.
Review 62:Very clean and fresh. Breakfast was good when it eventually arrived. Host very friendly and tried his best.
Review 63:Pat breakfast we waited at our table for 15 mins before order was taken. Eventually breakfast came up but not together, my husband nearly finished his before I ate mine. We also had to ask for tea/coffee and toast. The breakfast was cooked to a high standard.
Review 64:The welcome we received on arrival and the decor of the place was excellent
Review 65:Don't usually stay at guest houses but this was really nice. Recommend the sea view rooms with balcony, very clean great room, lovely quiet location away from the noisy centre with only a brisk walk in with plenty scenery and restaurants on the way. Managed to get parked ok, breakfast very good. Would definately stay again.
Review 66:If I was being REALLY picky. Coat hangers were wooden and a couple weren't as smooth as they could be. And there was a loo brush holder but no brush.
Review 67:It was a nice walk into town. Very quiet. The decor bright, modern and comfortable.
Review 68:We had to phone down for the wifi code, which we were given straight away, maybe there could be a little card in the room with this info. Not really a negative but the only thing I could think of as it's a great stay!
Review 69:On arrival Jessica showed us to our room, which was beautifully decorated and had great views of the sea. Jessica then offered to find us a table at a local restaurant due to it being valentines most places were fully booked however she found us a table! Very comfortable room and excellent breakfast the next morning. Would return to the beaches again!
Review 70:Nothing!
