Esplanade Hotel

The location of the hotel is fantastic-town centre, in front of the beach, sea view. Parking is alright, at the back yard. Staff is very friendly, nice and helpful, let us in 1 hour prior to official check in time. Soundproofing is good, didn’t hear our neighbours. Breakfast was lavish, fresh and tasty. In this property location sells itself. The building is tired, but luckily maintained. Curtains in the room are crying to be washed, dust is not wiped for days (if not weeks), tv was very stinky and not working, our bed was small and short for two of us (queen size I believe), water pressure in shower was too weak, carpets with all the possible stains, same as sofa, very unpleasant; waited for our breakfast for more than half an hour (though I received my vegetarian breakfast as I requested in my booking), coffee was only instant. I think, one night stay was too pricey for what it has, but overall impression is still rather good. Summary - if you want a good location with easy access to the Clacton city centre and the beach - here you go, just don’t expect a lot

Booked hotel for a quick getaway location perfect had everything we needed plus parking will stay again

Dirty room, shower was filthy and blocked with hair which made it over flow.Which resulted in not using it. Paint stripping off walls, dust behind TV, Cobwebs in the window. No TV remote in the room the signal was really bad. Breakfast was standard but believe it was heated up. Room was really small and faced a nasty dirty back area which was noisy from 6 am with tumble dryers on. The corridor stank of cigarettes and the bathroom you couldn't swing a cat in it. You have to pay £6 to park for the day. Will not be back

I had read the reports after I booked, was pretty worried but the place was amazing, staff so helpful, room overlooking sea was clean and tidy, bed so comfortable, I would recommend this hotel as one of the best in Clacton, and breakfast was amazing plus at night they do beautiful fish and chips plus goat curry is fabulous.

Great value, comfy bed. Shower tight and slow to warm up, but a good size room, excellent location, friendly and helpful staff.

Friendly staff, great location and reasonably priced. If I had to mention 1 negative, it's that the shower in the room I had was a bit small. Apart from that, highly recommend :)

I only stayed 1 night and it’s the best sleep I’ve had in a hotel since I can remember checking was easy and very friendly front of house through to the room being worth far more than I paid now I’m not someone who looks for faults and none came to light as even though we was on the ground floor and at the front we heard neither the outside world or the other guests the free breakfast was lovely and the lady in the dinking/room reception was very helpful upon checkout so much so we will be returning because I just can’t fault it we stayed 25/05/24-26/05/24 in room 32 and it was well worth it so we will be returning as long as rooms are available thank you guys for a great stay

This was a very pleasant experience, an older hotel well maintained and an excellent location across the street from the beach and minutes to the pier.

Really great view overlooking the sea and the pier was seen in the distance. Excellent choice for a bank holiday getaway from it all. Fab price.
