The toom was small and tired. The shower was very small and the sink was tiny.

The reception was good and the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Bathroom was a little tired with black marks in the sealant around the bath and trim missing from floor areas. Car park is useful but has a very limited number of spaces.

Nice room and a good breakfast cooked to order. Perfect location for the town center. Friendly and helpful staff.

Reception was slow on arrival. The problem was simple - too few staff, all of whom seemed to be very hard working. No comfortable chair in bedroom. Lighting variable, and insufficient around the TV area. There were no wardrobe or drawers. There were two double electricity sockets in the bedroom, but only one socket in each actually worked, leaving insufficient sockets for recharging items. It left me wondering how safe the electrics were. Light over the mirror in the bathroom didn't work. For breakfast it was a very basic menu, with no fish option, and only instant coffee was available/offered. The restaurant offered a fairly basic pub menu, with a few 'specials' in the evening. The biggest problem was that the number of dishes available was extremely limited, and I got to my fourth or fifth choice before I hit lucky. Apparently they had had a very busy day (it was a bank holiday Monday), but one would have thought that they would have stocked up appropriately. I gave the restaurant a miss on my second evening, and went to a very pleasant Thai restaurant in the main street. Parking was available, but barely adequate for the number of guests (restaurant and residents) - no alternative practical parking, as far as I could see, was easily available.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful, but sometimes too few of them. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was clean, and had a bathtub with shower over (my preference). Breakfast was very reasonable, but nothing stood out as special.

Evening bar music too loud. No escape from the loud party under my room. Parking for local pickup very awkward. People not knowing local shops or buses or places of historic interest. Need some filter coffee in the morning.

The building beautiful. The location. Staff were friendly and responded to requests as best they could. One little lady Kuoi, helped me with case and trip up stairs to room. Meal evening very good.

The room was very small and was woke by the Dray lorry making a beer and barrel delivery right outside window at 8:30am. Can't be helped as probs needed top up after Easter weekend, but pre warning would have been better.

Staff very helpful and bedding clean and tidy

The toilet system was not functioning properly, there wasn’t a shower certain when had a shower so water was spilled everywhere on the bathroom floor. Let the receptionist know at the checkout and she’ll let the maintenance guy know.

Good location

Toilet seat wouldn’t stand up on it’s owner

Bathroom was up steps and rather cramped have had better rooms at same hotel in the past

The parking is a bit of a pain as there is only one way in and the same way out so you have to reverse into a busy road

The food was really good and the staff were very helpful

The shower room was in a poor state and needed a good clean and refresh. Signs of mould and decay on floor and ceiling. There was no soap dispenser in shower, seemed to be an indication of how the room was prepared. Window onto the high street wouldn't close properly. Could do with a cupboard/ shelf to put thing on.

Quirky room in a pub, without a straight line in the place. Not the biggest but big enough. Most things were OK. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Food options were good especially for vegetarian. Good beer

We had 3 room two of which were very tired, damp in bathrooms, poor decoration, needs updating

The staff were brilliant and really looked after us

The room was tired with respect to its decor. The only chair provided was dirty and stained! The bathroom/toilet was in need of a good renovation or replacement and was extremely tight for space. The room was noisy until 11pm either caused by patrons of the pub or by other residents.

Its location, which was central to Halstead
