The Royal - Thurrock

I recently stayed at the hotel and had a wonderful experience. The staff were lovely, the room was clean and smelled fresh. The food, especially the breakfast, was delicious. It was great value for money. A big thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome.

"I arrived at the restaurant with a group of 7 friends for lunch and we were warmly welcomed by the staff and locals. I had made a reservation for a table with a fantastic view of the River Thames. The food was delicious and served in generous portions. All the dishes arrived at the same time and we all left with empty plates. We also enjoyed scrumptious desserts. We were lucky to be there during a beautiful sunset and captured an amazing view. I am very grateful to the staff for their wonderful hospitality and we will definitely be returning soon."

I’m not sure what to say. Arrived at the destination. The place is out dated and extremely run down the rooms are disgusting. I was placed in the Village and the room was not worth the price I paid I wouldn’t even pay 20.00. I could see the receptionist wanted to help and so upgraded me to their deluxe. Which wasn't that much better there was a looked door in my room which kinda creeped me out. The bed was disgusting. It’s a shame the staff are lovely but the state of the rooms let them down. I will not be returning and I refused to eat their because of the state of the rooms I was wondering if standards were across the board. I actually ate at the premier Inn near by. I did actually try to book with them but it was too expensive.Creepy doorAnd deluxe bed.

This hotel is ideal for contractors or people travelling on a budget. The rooms are basic but comfortable. The hotel is in a quiet area overlooking the Thames but away from all the hustle and bustle you normally get with hotels in the London area. Plenty of parking for cars and vans. Prices are much cheaper than other hotels in the area. Food is also reasonably priced even if the menu is a little bit basic, not a great deal of options but fine for a few nights. The decor and bathrooms in the rooms are a little tired in places but this is more than reflected in the room rates

Overall a good hotel which suited our needs. It's in need of modernisation decorating. The staff are friendly and welcoming
