Myself and around 8 friends stayed at this hotel the weekend just gone for my friend's 21st birthday. My friend booked the hotel and I must admit when he said Holiday Inn I did think 'ergh could have booked a Premier Inn' - slightly biased as I used to work for Premier Inn. However I have to say that I... More

We stayed a night after a late flight into Southend airport - turn right out of the terminal and the hotel is less than a 5-minute walk away. The night receptionist was efficient and very thorough. Our room was a decent size with all mod cons, complimentary biscuits and multifarious lighting options. We stayed on a room-only deal but there's... More

Stayed here for a very early flight the next day, literally a 4 minute walk. Staff were nice and friendly. The bar and restaurant at the top of the hotel have good views over the airfield. I ate at the restaurant which was good and there were some cheaper options as well as being able to push the boat out,... More

Stayed at this hotel last night. Upon check in there was no reservation for me which then took another 15 mins to sort out. I had booked the room with in-house reservations. The receptionist said they would put back the sofa bed in my room which was made up even though I was a single traveller. They never did put... More

This hotel was good value for money: airport parking was going to be £40 for 4 days and a room for 4 of us was £99. The staff were great, the common areas were nice and the children loved the view of the airport (which wasn't noisy at all). Parking is right in front of the hotel and it is... More

Chances are that the only way you are getting to Southend is if your Easyjet flight comes here. If it does, don't try and hop the late train to London, stay at this Holiday Inn instead. Walk out the front doors of the sirport, turn right and there it is, only 100 meters away. right across from McDonalds, if you... More

After a particularly awful stay at the Hilton in Croydon, the Holiday inn Southend felt like a welcome break! Soft bed and choice of soft or firm pillows as is the case with all holiday inns. With this hotel being pretty new (7 months according to one of the receptionists) there isn't anything to complain about in terms of the... More

Was pretty dissapointed with my stay at the hoilday inn, Considering the price.... After paying for an executive room i didnt find it partically great. Im not sure the difference between a standard and executive apart from the price!!? There was a mini bar you had to pay extra for ( £4.50 for a beer, £2.50 for a can of... More

I have stayed a number of times since this hotel opened and is my first choice when visiting the area. Staff are friendly and the service good - although, as I have family in the area, I very rarely eat anything other than breakfast at the hotel but on the odd occasion that I have eaten (snack or dinner) the...
