Home away from home

I haves stayed here regularly over the last 2yrs on business and the staff have made it feel like a second home. Andra and Yulia are brilliant. I tend not to leave reviews but this hotel is so good that I felt the need to let others know. If you are in Chelmsford overnight make this your go to hotel

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel and staff were excellent, room was clean. We stayed here because we were going to watch England ladies cricket team play the West Indies, the hotel was only 4 mins away from the cricket ground by car. My only disappointment was I payed £180 for the night and then they charge you £9 to park your car for the night.

tLovely bathroom and great shower, but the hotel room was very cold as the heating was quite complicated to use - added to this the heater plug shorted and there was a strong electrical smell in the room.

Overnight stay at County Hotel Chelmsford

The receptionist was very welcoming and explained the process. She left me with a packed breakfast to pick up in the morning when I realised I would miss breakfast because of where I needed to be before it was time for breakfast to be served. The bed in my room was comfortable and the tea making facilities were good
