Max, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Modern student accommodation. Decent enough although the bed wasn’t the greatest. Very central and 24/7 check via the reception/security desk No parking but plenty if options nearby and free street parking between 6 and 8
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s waaay cheaper than anywhere else in Sarfend for a Saturday night and the walk down to the front is entertaining (locals and we visitors are a visually diverse bunch). Bed was really hard this time and the two pillows were flat as a pancake so will take my favourite with me next time. Otherwise super

Clean room Good laundry facility but the laundry app was not working so I used my phone. Helpful security staff

Student Dorms

It’s typical student dorms, central Southend for £34 when Travelodge wanted £230 for the Saturday night in July. Basic facilities but WHAT A BARGAIN
Kieron, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My partner stayed here as he needed somewhere quick and easy to stay. He said it was suitable for what he needed it for, and he really enjoyed the site seeing. If need to contact them, just don't do it via the app, as you won't get a reply (as I found out!)!!
Janet, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very clean and modern but the only thing was the shared kitchen which had fridges, freezers and 2 kettles but we weren’t allowed to use the 2 ovens which had tape across them warning not to use and there was no microwave. I’m sure most people are maybe only staying for a short stay but I was there for a month (working locally) and really did not enjoy takeout most nights.

Lorenc, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tried to check in after booking through Expedia yesterday, they had no information about any booking and are not currently letting their rooms out. I was left stranded, trying to get hold of someone to talk to at Expedia. They left me on hold for nearly 2 hours before I just gave up. Will never use this site again
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Doorkeeper turned the guest away - despite prepayment - giving fear of covid as a reason. Guest left at 8pm at night in Southend on SEA with nowhere to sleep
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Could not sleep all night.
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The price is very reasonable. The rooms are clean and have all basic facilities. The location is excellent. The staff are very helpful.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not really geared up for hotel guests. Staff were porters. Clouds of rubbish outside front door and some blew in and was never cleaned up. Breakfast for 5 days was 5 paper bags of food left on the first day - do croissants and muffins last five days? Bed was hard an had a waterproof sheet so was sweaty. Couldn't get the broadband to work. No tv, radio or tea coffee making facilities. Apart from that it was fine...
