"Nice hotel in a great area for getting about.our room was ok the bed was comfortable.the staff were all very nice,Breakfast was good and the bar area was great with plenty of other rooms to sit while having a drink.only thing I can complain about is the pidgeons noise from sitting on the windowsills early morning.but other than that we had a lovely time at the falstaffe hotel "

"Good choice if you need to go to Southend. Location is great. Friendly and professional staff. Small but nice bar. Recommended "

"We had a wonderful time, John was very polite and welcoming, he gave us great advice, we get a family room it was clean and very nice. Breakfast was great. I think John is a fantastic staff. Highly recommend this hotel. On my next trip to Canterbury i will be staying at this hotel "

"Seemed pet friendly - saw a few dogs - we didnt have ours. Close to family - which is why we stayed. The room was large and bed very comfortable "

"My son has a duck feather allergy. We asked at front reception if we can use some hypoallergenic hollow Fiber pillows to which their reply why house keeping is gone and we don’t know where they store them. My son ended up getting a full on body rash and couldn’t sleep all night. "

"Ideal location and room configuration for our needs. Friendly staff and a quiet, relaxed setting."

"Perfect"

"Nice hotel, going through a refurbishment, so quite noisy early morning, unfortunately we had an issue with the heating system in the room, they did provide an electric heater but we didn’t use….everything seemed nice and clean but there were tea marks on the carpet next to the bin, the duvet didn’t fit the cover, it was too long head to toe but too small from left to right, I just think whoever made the bed, didn’t fit the duvet to the cover properly…..the staff seemed pleasant enough, not to much interaction…I would recommend but after the refurbishment was completed.."

"Tired looking hotel, could do with an update. Breakfast was a disappointment, no bacon or eggs and seemed to be no hurry to replenish items. Didn’t use pool or spa but looked nice enough. Extremely helpful member of staff helped us pull some tables together for a meal in the bar one night as we couldn’t get into the restaurant and needed to be sat at a regular table. Bar prices were very expensive- £32 for 2 glasses of wine! Also tried to charge us £10 for car parking even though we had travelled by train. This was quickly rectified. Rooms were dated but had toiletries in the bathroom - only 1 hand towel - and there was plenty of teabags, milk, coffee etc "
