Esplanade Hotel

Booked hotel for a quick getaway location perfect had everything we needed plus parking will stay again

Lovely stay beautiful sea view, very friendly staff and enjoyed the entertainment, had a dance was a good evening, will pop along again , very clean hotel, soul nights very good, hope they do a ska reggae night soon, breakfast was lovely, and also a chip shop next door if you get peckish

We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 5yr and 2yr) we stayed lastnight 23/3/24 in room 31. The parking is limited and you can easily get blocked in. The room was spacious. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean however toilet was super noisy when flushing and made random noises which would scare my little two as their sensitive to noises. We all suffered a terrible night sleep as every-time another guest was coming into the hotel front door which was right next to a door that entered ours. It was all hours guests were in and out. Definitely would think the hotel wouldn’t place a family with young children near the door where they could be disturbed throughout the night. Definitely would not justify paying £105 for a night stay with our experience. The only thing we did enjoy was the breakfast this morning. Wouldn’t stay again unfortunately

Perfect location to walk to places. Undergoing renovation but that did not affect us at all, be great to see when it's finished. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast cooked fresh to order. Parking bit difficult for amount of rooms but we got in and was happy. Staff all seem to do a bit of everything which was nice. Excellent size room with a sea view. Thanks for a lovely birthday trip.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Made me feel really welcome. Room was lovely, i would have stayed longer if i could. When i entered my room you could smell the cleanliness of it. I had a lovely sea view. Breakfast was large. And again had the sea view while eating breakfast. Overall i had a lovely stay.

Nice big room but no heating on at all in room we were frozen all night and no extra blankets in room to help . The bedside lamps had the bulbs taken out so very dangerous to get out during night as you had to feel for main switch . When I reported heating in morning their reply was its on a timer which is rubbish it had not been on at all in our room no 25 . Breakfast bacon overcooked toast still very white . Asked for 2 eggs on each portion and only received one . Not worth the £65 paid for one night . They were painting at night and the fumes from paint was bad .

We wanted a night away and chose this hotel. The reception was small but clean and welcoming. We were greeted by Charlie who was friendly and professional. The room was lovely. Very clean. Plenty of tea and coffee etc. unfortunately the fish and chip restaurant was closed but fair enough it’s out of season and a Monday. Ordered from deliveroo who found us easily. The breakfast was great. The restaurant was clean and bright and the food was lovely. Very good selection. The hotel is very close to the pier etc. The outside area was clean and well maintained. The rear of the hotel was very tired looking but we didn’t sit round there. The only negative points we found was we could have done with more pillows but guess that’s personal preference. The water could have been warmer for a shower and the green exit light by the door was distracting for hubby. Over all a great stay for a reasonable price. We will definitely return.

Room 15 was very large as was the ensuite with great sea views. The bed was uncomfortable and the cleanliness wasnt brilliant. The shower wasnt hot There were piles of bags in the corridor and a towel which was a bit off putting.. However, the staff were very helpful and friendly The breakfast was plentiful Ideal for clacton centre. This place has its own bar too

This hotel was lovely and right on the seafront. There was a lovely atmosphere we noticed when checking in. Great breakfast and so convenient for everything. Many thanks to Charli and all the lovely friendly staff. We will return. Councillor Greg Rattey SRH. LGBT+ and Human Rights Campaigner.
