Premier Inn Southend On Sea (Eastern Esplanade)

Absolutely beautiful viewing,good food,comfy room, parking place,friendly staff. Really enjoyed and absolutely amazing place. Near to the beach and not far away from the Walking Pier, which is the main attraction. They are plenty of shops around and souvenirs .

Jobsworth upon check in. Made to wait for 10 minutes in a queue until exactly 3pm. Room ok but had a lovely sea view. Meal in restaurant in the evening very sub standard but breakfast the next day one of the best we have eaten at a premier inn. Overall hit and miss. We have stayed in much better premier inns with much better service but I do have to say that the breakfast staff were very nice.

This hotel is very run down the windows all need cleaning internal and external. The breakfast is woeful and the restaurant toilets and bar area is old and dirty all mirrors and glass filthy This is a very bad example for a hotel and the chef looks like he needs a wash

We paid £66 for twin room with breakfast as there was a deal on, clean room and them most amazingly friendly staff. Breakfast was great value, so don’t moan about this place, it’s a great little gem 👌, it’s not the Langham but then for £66 you literally cannot go wrong. Thanks especially to the reception staff in the evening and the fab lady on breakfast duty .

We have used this Premier Inn for short breaks over many years, and overall the staff have been great, we always request particular sea view rooms, and if not busy, we always get our choice or similar. The building is now showing it's age, and could do with a refurb, the sofa in the lounge area of the bar is years old, and the furniture is dated in the restaurant, however, the room and bathroom were clean, warm and the bed really comfortable. Not sure the decision to close the (now Premier Inn) restaurant to non residents is a good one, surely at lunch times in peak season Whitbread are missing out on huge sales from walk ins. One staff member did confide that there were developments/improvements coming soon, but we were told this last October also! Overall this is a great location, with on site parking and a short walk to the town and facilities.

The staff are all really helpful. The rooms were clean and pleasant. We paid extra for sea views and they were fantastic. Showers were hot and powerful. Restaurant food was good but hours a bit limited and couldn't cope with a rush of guests. About 15 mins walk to pier. Lots of parking when we arrived although it isn't a big car park. Overall an excellent stay.
