Absolutely dreadful. We were visiting a sick relative so got to the rooms at 9pm in the evening, so we had food in the restaurant. Although the waiter was very nice the food was over priced for what it was and the beer was all watered down within an inch of it's life. We had reserved a double room and... More

This hotel is OK for 1 night. Now looking expensive if compared to a travelodge type hotel. Would only stay here if location was convienient. Free Wi-fi that works well. Everything just looks old, but i didn't really expect anymore. buffet salad in restuarant was OK. More

My wife, me and our 18mth old stayed here one night in December 2011. It feels like a motel rather than a hotel - all the rooms open onto the carpark. We had a small twin room on the ground floor. It felt pretty old and rickety, but the TV, kettle and phone were all relatively new. The beds were... More

Although this hotel has a two star rating, you would of thought the rooms would be clean, you would feel safe and secure... BUT NO! The rooms were dusty, dim, dingy and smelt musky. The staff could barely speak English... even the English staff had trouble! There were bottles of drink left in the room from the visitors before, which... More

From the outside, the hotel looks very tired. However, the reception area was bright and fairly modern. Our room was quite small but as a place to stay either en route or visiting friends or relatives it was perfect. The room was very clean, warm and well placed, overlooking the car park there was no road noise. In fact, it... More

Stayed the Basildon Campanile and ate at their restaurant, which was a mistake. I had been working all day and just wanted a meal, a beer and a sleep. I had burger and chips. I should say I had a raw burger and a dozen overcooked chips. It was terrible. It was accompanied by a pint of Stella, drawn from... More

For the price of £55 I wasn't expecting the Ritz, but I wasn't expecting this either! The room was clean but basic. It was our misfortune to have young lads next door (?) who were up all night laughing and joking around. The walls are paper thin so you could hear every flush of the loo. Also, they were smoking...

I arrived at the Hotel early on a Friday morning, having just landed at Heathrow (From Jo'burg) and driven my hire hire car around the M25 to Basildon. The hotel was easy to find, and was just what I was looking for, somehwhere to get a decent nights sleep before travelling further east to visit friends and family. The hotel... More

I've stayed in this Campanile a few times when I am working in Basildon, as it is cheaper than the Premier Inns. It is a basic hotel, but I have never had any problems with the rooms I have stayed in. True, they are quite small and sparsely furnished, but I have never had a problem with cleanliness, and the...
