Went to a function here and stayed over night. The function rooms were good but the Annex where most of guests stay was very basic and actually felt very grubby needs a good lick of paint and some carpet cleaning. The shower I gave up on as only a trickle of water appeared !. I have stayed in many basic... More

Sorry to have to say this is not a hotel to recommend, yet my opinion is made from first impressions, as I did not stay in the end. We booked (via a newspaper offer) and prepaid for the hotel in advance, which was non refundable. We pulled up at The Royal Purfleet and immediately was not impressed. Two burly bouncers... More

I needed somewhere for a one night stopover near Grays and opted for this place on price. Thank goodness I was not expecting much because it didn't exceed expectations. The room was cold ( no central heating - just two oil filled electric heaters which we quickly plugged in and left on all night), dark, and dingy, with damp stained... More

Stayed for one night and there were good and bad points. It was basic but relatively good value and would stay again but only if for the odd night. Good: the view was great; the room was spacious; the bed was extremely comfortable and bedding was clean; shower was hot and with power; heated towel rails so warm towels; heater... More

I've visited the Royal Hotel over many years. It's always been a place that has a faded charm. It really is a contractors hotel (just look at the number of vans in the car park at night) The present owners are gradually trying to refurbish it. Since moving up North my wife and I often stay at the Royal when... More

I knew what to expect before I arrived. I wasn't expecting much and that's exactly what I got. When I arrived, the room was ice cold so I switched on the small electric heater in the corner. (No central heating). Had a bad back so was considering having a nice hot bath on arrival but I saw the bath and... More

Could not stay in my room when I got there as no central heating, a small plug in radiator that did very little. Went to the bar, which was better and decor not bad. When I did get to sleep (with layers of clothing on) I was awoken by contractors / drivers leaving at 5am banging doors etc. Pathetic shower... More

We booked this for a 2-night break to attend a 50th Wedding anniversary party nearby. However, having read that it had recently been refurbished we wondered where! The website, at best, is optimistic! We assumed that the annex had been done, but obviously not by the tenor of some reviews. We stayed on the top floor of the main buiding,... More

Spent 4 nights here with 2 colleagues and found it an ok place to stay. Rooms nice and comfy with king size bed. Food average but not expensive. 2 bars in hotel open to locals. Popular hotel with contractors. Sadly no wifi in the annex More
