The first time you stay with them they put you in a lovely big and refurbished room and anytime after that they stick you in a dirty old fashioned tiny room. Tried to complain to reception and they couldn’t have cared less and told me to take it up with Expedia. Avoid at all costs, not clean, safe or even anyone around to help. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN

Cheap

First impressions.. untidy grounds.. weeds everywhere.. rubbish/old room furniture dumped outside Very minimalist room.. one chair.. one bed side cabinet.. so nothing for one of us to put anything on. Dated decor.. poorly decorated.. not enough towels But the bed and pillows were very comfortable! Had to pay to park!!

It’s a good size room. It’s a good place to stay when you are working away. 13-15 minutes drive to Basildon city centre. In a nice quiet location. Hot shower very slow probably needs more pressure on hot water. Sometimes the cleaner make your bed up but don’t clean your coffee cups and not clean the bathroom haha. Sometimes no cleaning service and the rubbish you left outside your door in the morning it’s still be there when you come back at night lol. I’m not complaining but I hope my comment will help improve this hotel. Parking should be free for guests as it is out of town location. Bazaan restaurant, great food. No alcohol which is understandable in respect of religion but not serving tap water is disappointing. I ordered a mocktail but I want to drink a glass of water after the food and sweet cocktail but I was told they don’t serve tap water, you can only buy a small bottle of water for £2. I will be happy to book this hotel again but also hoping to see an improvement of there services.

A gem of a hotel with a few quirks.

They need to explain that they are a dry site. There is no alcohol allowed on site. Not that I’m a big drinker, but I do like a drink while watching football. The TVs are not linked to the WiFi so there is no way to use some of the Smart Tv functions. This is company policy. I paid for breakfast , but didn’t realise it was a toastie, cooked in the reception area. It was actually quite good, but a surprise. Right they are the small negatives. Now for the positives. The hotel has been refurbished and the rooms and especially the bathroom are good. The staff are very good and extremely helpful. The onsite Indian restaurant is exceptional and with a 50% discount it’s even better!! Finally, the price for the area is very competitive. Unless you’re an alcoholic, don’t hesitate to book.

The staff were quite helpful and the on site restaurant (Bazzaan) Manager was really good at making guests feel comfortable. Food from the restaurant was also fantastic. I would recommend a stay.
