A good experience

Excellent reception experience. The young lady was so very helpful and caring. I am 75 and she was so patient. The only downside is £1.90 for soda water. Most pubs charge 0 or a nominal amount. This is a hotel and there was the service of the water but the profit margin must be enormous and I admit to feeling exploited. However room was very nice as was WiFi. I would recommend and stay again

Great find!

Great apartment - in its own block separate to the main hotel. Perfect for a girls trip away. Spacious and clean. Sleeps up to 6 with 3 double beds.

Home away from home

I haves stayed here regularly over the last 2yrs on business and the staff have made it feel like a second home. Andra and Yulia are brilliant. I tend not to leave reviews but this hotel is so good that I felt the need to let others know. If you are in Chelmsford overnight make this your go to hotel

Poor - uncomfortable, tight bathroom and v. noisy

I stayed only for 1 night and at first the room was okay, average size with a really tiny ensuite but generally clean. However, soon I realised that the thermostat to regulate the heat did not work - I was too hot. I could open the windows a crack but they overlooked the car park and this would be unsafe and compromise my privacy as I was on the ground floor. At night, the place was really noisy. Kept me awake for quite a long time. I stayed in the annexe on the ground floor and the upstairs occupants were constantly moving around. Noise insulation was non existent. When it comes to the ensuite shower room - it was so tight that to sit on the WC was actually not possible without turning myself at an angle of 45 degrees! Another annoying thing was that I was charged 8 pounds to park my car overnight, but as the hotel seemed to have a function all the parking spaces were taken and it took me ages to find a parking spot. All these issues created a very uncomfortable night for me, and I will not be returning or recommending this hotel.

Hotel and staff were excellent, room was clean. We stayed here because we were going to watch England ladies cricket team play the West Indies, the hotel was only 4 mins away from the cricket ground by car. My only disappointment was I payed £180 for the night and then they charge you £9 to park your car for the night.
