Bed was comfortable, team were amazing and clean rooms. New restaurant is really lovely and the team really do care about the customers. Not enough people working to keep up with everyone wanting something but they tried their best! Definitely stay again.

Very good. Helpful, friendly staff. Comfortable ( if a bit dated) rooms. Could do with a few more plant based food options but overall I enjoyed my stay. Excellent location for Chelmsford shops and restaurants. Close to the train station which is also a plus.

The 2 Good things about this hotel are it's location - City Centre (2 minutes from the Station) and comfy bed.||But, however well-meaning some staff may be, they appear to have no support whatsoever should any snags arise. …

Room not ready on arrival. Corridors overheated with a nasty smell. Room also smelt bad - not helped by shower curtain that was extremely musty. Didn’t feel inclined to use the bath. Skirting boards in bathroom broken and dirty. …

Overall the staffing was shocking. When I got there I couldn't use the self sign-in so had to ask a member of staff. They do not have a reception. …

I wanted to try a mattress as I am considering buying one from premier inn. I found the hotel to be very good, with helpful staff, a great breakfast and yes, a very comfortable bed. Mattress ordered. I found the location to be very convenient to the railway station.

Was notified of no dining facilities a few days prior to our trip. The corridor was absolutely filthy and stank. We were disturbed at 2am with fighting from other rooms. …

Rooms not cleaned to any standard at all. Bed made that’s all you get. ||Bathroom disgusting pee stains on wall at toilet. No toilet brush. Tiles covered in black mould. Hairs behind the bathroom door. No extractor fan working. Horrible hotel. No management to oversee these major issues.

Visiting with work. The location is excellent given it is near to the train station and 10 minutes away from the centre.The staff are really friendly and helpful.The rooms in comparison to the ones at Bromley premier inn are a lot more dated. They are all too warm (three out of three) with the air con going off on a timer so it is too warm all the time.There aren’t enough sockets in the room, especially next to the bed.
