Little Downham Vacations from SAR2,439

It’s a good size room. It’s a good place to stay when you are working away. 13-15 minutes drive to Basildon city centre. In a nice quiet location. Hot shower very slow probably needs more pressure on hot water. Sometimes the cleaner make your bed up but don’t clean your coffee cups and not clean the bathroom haha. Sometimes no cleaning service and the rubbish you left outside your door in the morning it’s still be there when you come back at night lol. I’m not complaining but I hope my comment will help improve this hotel. Parking should be free for guests as it is out of town location. Bazaan restaurant, great food. No alcohol which is understandable in respect of religion but not serving tap water is disappointing. I ordered a mocktail but I want to drink a glass of water after the food and sweet cocktail but I was told they don’t serve tap water, you can only buy a small bottle of water for £2. I will be happy to book this hotel again but also hoping to see an improvement of there services.

Bar service was very slow but the food was lovely. It’s a nice place and would return.

I booked this for my elderly parents as they have stayed there in the past. It is mostly an older building so I doubt I will book again as my dad found the stairs particularly difficult (90 & has had a hip replacement). The room was used to sleep in & get ready the following day. My dad slept well having driven from north Norfolk & had no nap during the day. My mum did not get to sleep until after 2am due to the noise from the heating/plumbing pipework outside in the courtyard. Although the water had been hot on arrival, the following morning there was no hot water and no soap in the dispenser. The room was clean, tea & coffee provided, staff were professional.

Convenient, clean, welcoming.
