3-Star Hotels in Essex, United Kingdom

Just a few points of feedback: I paid for breakfast up front - which was meant to be open from 7am. However, what really happened was that breakfast (prepared by the Receptionist - who was very helpful) started to be prepared from 7am-ish. Coffee, microwave toastie, juice etc duly handed over in a paper bag (I was not the only one waiting) - but this was not ready 'till ~7.20am. Makes a difference if you need to eat and get on your way. Also, £2.50 for the car-park - why? It's not the money - just the impression given. The restaurant is Indian cooking - which I enjoyed. Waiter was pleasant and efficient. Room was basic. Clean but a few cobwebs in the cupboards. No AC.

Booked a night to make travel stress-free and it didn’t disappoint. The room was spacious and quiet, the bed very comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Aircon worked well without being intrusive. Breakfast was excellent — wide selection and, in my opinion, better than what’s available inside the terminal. Perfect for early flights; I’ll definitely stay again. Highly recommended.

Very surprised by this hotel as my partner had stayed here a few years back and wasn’ti pressed… but this time, from start to finish, a really pleasant stay. Lady on reception (early evening of 10th April) was an absolute delight. So helpful and so friendly. We had two dogs with us and she told us all the areas the dogs could go and that they could even have breakfast with us if we sat in a certain place. It’s not often you get treated like that when you have dogs… more so seen as a hindrance. The room was very clean and bright. Pillows a bit hard but that’s down to preference. Shower was great, very powerful with shampoo, conditioner and show gel complimentary! Breakfast was fantastic. A lot of choice and good quality. All in all, a great stay.

The 4sisters Inn (not advertised as this on arrival) is located offside a road and it is likened to a U.S motel style layout. Upon arrival we were greeted and shown to our room. The room was described as a superior twin with garden view. The room was large and had 2 beds which were bigger than a standard size singles. There is a kettle with cups and drinking glasses, tea & coffee sachets, milk. Flat screen tv on wall. There is a wall fan and a wall heater, also 2 hairdryers. A small closed room with coat hangers in for coats. The so called garden view was just a bit of land with trees overgrown area which was littered with glass bottles & rubbish. There was a wetroom/toilet. The decor had 1 wall with brown/ cream tiles and 3 walls with grey/silver plastic tongue & groove it was odd and was very mismatched. There were no hooks or rail to hang towels/ clothes in the room. The water drainage grate was broken. 2 bath towels and hand towels were provided. We booked this place as it was a convenient location to east 15 drama school, there isn't much around the area. There is a Miller & Carter restaurant 2 mins away and onside a small animal visitor centre and an MMA boxing club. On reflection this place needs a complete decor renovation and a deep clean but it was comfortable and was OK for the price.

Easy to get to from airport free breakfast was included with a good variety of stuff. Could of been more games to play with in games rooms as there was only two and was more for older children/adults. Staff was friendly and helpful especially a staff member called fern who was very helpful & understanding. Also The Hotel is Located near a BP n shop which was really helpful to.

Overall, I had a decent stay. The room itself was nice and felt very safe—you enter a secure code to get into the building, followed by a single key to access your room, which gave great peace of mind. A huge kudos to the team for letting me store my luggage after checkout until 3:00 p.m. It was quite hot during my stay and there wasn't a fan in the room initially, but the staff managed to find me one on the second day, which I really appreciated. The windows in my room were broken so I had to leave them propped open, but it wasn't too big of an issue for me. The room was fine overall and stocked with plenty of tissue, plus tea and coffee (though I didn't end up using those). My main critique is the shower—it was a bit dirty, and you could see some mold/fungus build-up on the shower head. Other than the shower cleanliness, everything was all right for a short stay!

The hotel is not bad, clean, good service attitude

The bed is comfortable. We stayed for one night to catch a morning flight. The location is good, just a 15-minute drive to the airport. Parking is free, and a complimentary breakfast is also provided. It is near the Braintree outlet village. I recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation close to the airport.

Following the Trip.com's recommendation of contacting the hotel before arrival the OYO number wasn't helpful as they claimed I needed to pay more for the trip and the Trip.com booking reference number was invalid. I managed to get the direct telephone number to the hotel and the lady was helpful. We got to the hotel early but the rooms weren't ready, so we were able to leave our luggage. We were late allocated room 22. The room is big but could do with TLC. No tables or chairs to sit at. Bathroom clean but the shower made funny noises when turning on like it was a helicopter taking off. TV didn't receive any channels but WiFi was good. Staff were really helpful as we didn't have enough towels and they were apologetic, they even lent us a hairdryer upon request. It's a cheap stay so can't really ask for much.

Friendly helpful staff, large rooms, beautiful decor, amazing value for money
