Best Western The Bell Hotel in Epping

The most diabolically uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in! Bathroom poorly equipped - shower curtain far too short so that water inevitably spilt onto the floor outside the bath. Friendly & helpful reception Good breakfast

Friendly, personable staff and clean room

Nice hotel in lovely surroundings, and easy access to London. I would reccommend this hotel and stay there again myself.

old fashion motel-style hotel. reception is clean and staff were friendly enough. good location for access to M25 and Epping appears to be a nice area. the description below will make me sound like a right moaner but it really is quite a poor hotel. it reminds you of the tv programme Crossroads and was probably last decorated when the series started […] in 1964. accomodation block is separate from reception/dining area/bar. the decor is very tired, the corridors are dirty and very cold. no secure access to the accommodation block as it can be accessed from the street and doors are not locked. i was in the "executive" room block. it was just ok. god help the other residents in standard rooms. an electricity pylon stands directly over the hotel, this buzzes and crackles constantly. the window in my room was buckled and didnt close. it was cold. it was snowing outside and the heating was on a master timer that went off during the day. i asked reception to put it on as i work from my room during the day and no controls in the the rooms, receptionist didnt know how to. i had to move rooms. new room was better in that the window closed but still cold inside. every day, either my work colleague or i (or both sometimes) had to get our room key re scanned. it became a running joke who would have to go back through the snow to reception to get the key recharged. in my room, the troused press had been pulled off the wall and tossed in the cupboard. tv had about 8 standard channels some of which had a very poor reception so unwatchable. due to work, we often never got back to the hotel until 1 or 2am. the bar area would be in darkness and we could only get a bottle of beer from a reluctant night receptionist wearing a fleece jacket and drink it it in the cold reception area. breakfast was quite nice and cheap at 2 breakfasts for £10. i would only stay here again if i really really had to and only for 1 night until i found somewhere else. ive stayed in many different levels of hotel Lees meer

Cheap and cheerful, some evidence of modernisation but peeling paint throughout and some suspicious looking black mould in the shower area. TV didn't work properly, so we used our laptop and watched i-player instead. Full buffet breakfast was cheap at 6 quid, but sausages and bacon were undercooked, and juices/yoghurts were cheapo brands and unbelievably […] sweet and sickly, couldn't finish the glass of apple juice! Unlimited free coffee helped considerably, and I guess they were very busy that morning hence undercooked meats. For the price we paid (around 30% under their published rates thanks to this website), I would stay here again if I had to, but would think twice about the breakfast. I have stayed in much worse places, so I'll give them overall 4 out of 5 as it was so cheap, and the surrounding area is gorgeous. Lees meer

upon arriving I had to wait to check in. room service was pretty unsatisfying, and the cleanliness was substandard. There was something splattered on the walls of the bathroom. The toilet paper holder was falling apart. But the worst part was the bed. It appeared as though it was from the 1970's and felt horrible. My husband and I both woke up with […] backaches. We wont be back and would recommend it. Lees meer

The staff were not very helpful at all. The room that was booked (a double for two people) only had one towel in the bathroom. When we asked for room service we were told that it had to be ordered from the bar. When it arrived it was cold and I had to pay for it in cash there and then. I couldn't put it on the bill for the room. Have you ever heard […] of that before ! At breakfast the following morning, we were moved from a table near the window because it sat four people and they were busy (there were three other tables in use out of 15). The waiter was a bit too keen to clear the table. I like to relax whilst having breakfast, not being chased up. Needless to say, when we go back to that part of Essex, we shall not be staying at the Bell Hotel. Lees meer

Koselig hotell i rolige omgivelser. Savnet aercond., , men ellers var alt OK. Rimelig overnatting. God frokost.
