It’s been 7 years since our last visit and it’s just as wonderful as I remembered. We stay in the front room with balcony and we’re blessed with a sunny clear morning to enjoy our coffee. Great breakfast with fantastic views definitely the best place to stay in Southend.

The Hope Hotel

The Hope Hotel is situated on the seafront, right across the road from the beach, the world's longest pier and theme park "Adventure Island". It is 5 minutes from the High Street and shopping centre with plenty of carparks. The Hope Hotel's rooms offer beautiful sea views with home cooked breakfast included in the price. The restaurant is open all day and closes over the winter months. We also offer 10 en suite bedrooms in two guest houses in the next road only three minutes away. Most of these rooms have a fridge, wi fi and Sky TV all included in the booking price. These rooms do not have a sea view but offer a quiet peaceful setting.

Bit overpriced

Reviewed By mermaid747

I didn't realise that our £100- a-night twin room did not have ensuite facilities, which was my fault. The shower block and 2 bathrooms were on the floor below us, and the toilet was down the corridor. Both shower and bath facilities were enclosed without windows, and it was obvious from the smell that the showers had been used as a urinal. Our beds were comfortable, and our room had a pleasant sea & pier view. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendy and helpful. There is no lift in this building.

Southend Airport Bed & Breakfast

We are situated under 1 mile away from Southend airport. We have 2 medium sized beautifully decorated very comfortable double rooms with a large shared bathroom between these 2 rooms. The bathroom has toilet, wash bowl, rain shower and bidet. Both rooms look directly across Southend airport where you can watch planes land and take-off. To some this is ultimately exciting, to others not so. The plane service starts at 6:45am and finishes at 11:45pm (if no delays.) and although both rooms are double glazed there will be some noise. Our B & B is only a 20 minute easy walk directly to the airport terminal. We have free adequate room for parking by 'pre arrangement', a charge apply for cars left for more than 2 night stays. We provide a tasty eat-as-much-as-you-like cold buffet style breakfast between 7am and 9:30 am in our airy breakfast and communal room serving Filter coffee Various breakfast and fruit teas Fresh juice Cereal choices Choices of fresh breads Croissants Brioche rolls Biscuits This room can be used in the evening for social chitchats and games. This is a strictly NO SMOKING house anywhere in or around the property and no facilities are made for smokers.

Absolutely fine if you are happy with no ensuite

Reviewed By TauntonBob

We had to book this last minute, as we had a family emergency necessitating us staying over. We were warmly welcomed by Christine, who showed us to our room which was nicely decorated and very clean and tidy. There did not appear to be anybody else staying that night, so we did actually have the bathroom to ourselves. There was a bag of goodies in our room for breakfast and all Covid precautions were being observed. It is also conveniently situated just across the road from the Anne Boleyn pub if you need a meal. Providing you are happy with accommodation without ensuite facilities, this place is a good choice.

Last minute stay!

Reviewed By Sfordham1229

I booked this last minute, we stayed in the top family room with a balcony. Room 12 Had a very warm welcome from the owner on arrival. Our room was very clean and felt homely. Beds where comfortable to sleep in. Although a few things could do with an update or more of a deeper clean. Plug sockets and kettle on the top of the list. Only negative comment was that the balcony hadn’t been cleaned or tidied before we came. Which would of been a shame if it was nicer weather as we would of definitely used it. Would come back again.
