Hotels in Basildon

"This boutique hotel has a lot of cute trinkets, unique paintings, and thoughtful design touches that gave it a lot of character. It definitely has a warm, artistic vibe that stands out from typical chain hotels. My room was located on the 4th floor, but be aware that the elevator only goes up to the 3rd. I had to carry my luggage up another floor from stairs, which can be a bit of a hassle if you have large suitcases. I’d recommend requesting a room on a lower floor if mobility or luggage is your concern. The location is great, very convenient for sightseeing. It’s close to the Tube and C2C train station, with a bus stop just around the corner. I also felt safe walking around the area even in the evening, which is a big plus. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only thing I was not happy about was the weak Wi-Fi signal in my room. It made staying connected a bit frustrating, especially when trying to plan activities or check travel details. Overall, it’s a lovely, cozy place with lots of personality, just make sure you pack light or plan accordingly if you're not on one of the lower floors. "

"My girlfriend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at DoubleTree by Hilton for one night in a standard room, booked to celebrate her 30th birthday. Prior to our arrival, I discreetly emailed the hotel to mention the special occasion, and to my absolute delight, we were greeted at check-in with the incredible news that we had been upgraded to a deluxe suite overlooking the stunning London skyline! The room itself was absolutely excellent – very modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. It truly made the occasion feel even more special. The thoughtful touches didn't stop there; we were also welcomed with two complimentary cookies, two free drinks, and two bottles of water. To top it all off, our car park fee was waived, and we received a 15% meal voucher (though we didn't get a chance to use it this time!). A massive shout-out and heartfelt thank you must go to Irene who orchestrated this fantastic surprise for us. Her attention to detail and generosity made our stay truly memorable. The hotel itself is very modern and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness throughout. For those looking to explore, transport to central London is incredibly convenient, with tube stations readily available and a journey time of around 20-30 minutes. As an EV owner, I particularly appreciated the hotel's EV charging facilities. Taking advantage of the waived parking fee, I was able to recharge my car at a very reasonable 59p per kWh, costing only around £18 overall. Would come again"

"Great little hotel, great location. Simple but nice. Very good value for money. Lovely staff "

"A great place to stay - fantastically presented and great location. Just need to up the game on GF for breakfast - lazy cheffing as GF sausages and hash browns easy to do ; keep saying this over years but they do not learn However - still a great place to stay."

"The staff at this property were amazing. Especially receptionist Mara she made our stay so stress free and nothing was too much for her. She allowed us to check in early due to our long journey and our kids. She even sorted out car parking for us. Mara really is a great person and a credit to the hotel. "

"The breakfast was phenomenal!"

"My room was small, but very clean and comfortable. Short walk to underground station made this a great base for exploring the city. The area is quiet, but always has enough activity to feel safe. As a single traveler, I was perfectly comfortable walking after dark. Friendly staff made it a great place."

"I stayed here with my daughter when we went to a concert at the O2. It was so easy to get to and from O2 and felt like a safe area and just across the road from the tube station, ideal for us coming back really late. Check in was easy. I liked the vibe when walking into the hotel, felt more like a bar than a hotel lobby. Our room was upgraded which meant it was slightly bigger and had some better refreshments etc. The room was clean, comfortable and really quiet. Will absolutely stay again for future O2 concerts "

"Lovely hotel and great location! "
