Location was good
both beds were so uncomfortably ( springs coming through ) all had very bad sleep.
Clean and welcoming. Staff work hard. And helped out with requests
Needs some thought and TLC in the room I was in. lack of draw space. No where to put your clothes when staying longer than a day or two. So living out the suitcase. Coat hangers to put hanging clothes up. That’s it, was no bedside table but on request was brought from another room, draws on this need liners. God knows what people use draws for. Shower was hot. Needs a non slip mat. Very slippery. Defo needs update in that particular room. Carpets could do with shampoo on heavy foot areas. All this has been mentioned to Becky so hopefully going forward. Some miner things. Would make that difference. This to me is honest and constructive.
Everything, apart from noise.
Noise from club over the road. Gulls early in the morning. Didn't get much sleep.
The owners were lovely. The bedding and pillows so comfortable!
Staff are very accommodating
Everything was great
Close to the beach.
I was given 2 rooms that I had not booked: a family room (my room wasn't ready for the 1st day) then a double room the next day that I stayed in for the rest of the time. I checked Booking.com and saw the room looked completely different to the photos. I had booked the bridal suite room which is significantly bigger with an outside area. The manager confirmed that the room photos and the room names are mixed up on Booking.com and Expedia.com This is a known issue that guests should be informed about before they book. I have found a review about the same issue (26 August 2023 by Ross) so this seems to have been going on for many years. Instead of enjoying my holiday, I was left disappointed about the false advertising. Photos of rooms that are not available shouldn't be listed. I told the manager I expected some kind of discount and they did not offer one. I contacted OYO about the situation and received zero response.
All good they looked after us
Absolutely cannot praise this hotel enough, they went above and beyond for our needs, everything was absolutely brilliant 👏 highly recommended and will definitely stay again! 😁😍
The staff were helpful and friendly, had a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. They kept our bags for us as we arrived early and wouldn’t be back until later, they put them in our room for us ready for our return. The room was clean and spacious, it had what we needed for our stay. It was was quiet and comfortable in a good location.
It was just right for our visit.
Close to beach host was lovely bedding was nice and smelt amazing
Just outside a build burnt down bed small room small shower small
Comfortable room - good size for four adults
Ceiling a bit low above the end of the bunk beds but we coped
Room one was a double room - very clean in general, kettle was filty, bathroom shower door was hanging off and toilet roll holder fell off. Room two was a family room consisting of x2 rooms one for children with bunk bed (wooden and rattling) and toddler bed, main room had a double bed and sofa bed. Kettle needed to be plugged in half way across the room to where the tea and coffee station was, shower door did not close and mould around the Mastic. Otherwise very clean. Breakfast is not included in the price but does have breakfast and dinner options The team onsite at this hotel are very warm and welcoming. No onsite parking. Karaoke bar directly opposite the hotel open and very loud until at least 1am Very close to see front and local amminities.
The location of the property is very close to the seafront and main attractions. The property is really lovely, the staff were wonderful and the room was luxury! Myself and my children immediately felt comfortable and loved how everything was set up, with comfy beds, use of our own kitchen and lovely outdoor area. We had a great stay and would recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.
The staff were super helpful, the beds and bathrooms were very clean and relatively comfortable. The hotel is in a great location for the Clacton Air Show and the Pier/beach.
The average price per room booked was over £108 per night for our 2 night stay in 2 rooms on a room only basis. In consideration that in both rooms the showers were barely lukewarm, the carpets were dirty and unpleasant to walk on in bare feet, and the TV's didn't work because the WiFi was so intermittent (we gave up trying to use both the TV's and WiFi) we felt that it was poor value for money.
Staff went above and beyond.
No hairdryer.
The place was a few yards from the beach and it was lovely and clean, the beds were comfy, had a TV, kettle etc to.
Only thing that was a little awkward was the parking nearby and being disabled. Could only park close by for 3 hours on double yellow lines also due to short stay parking also in the streets so we had to park in a carpark in the next street for 12.00 a day... I will say it wasn't a deal breaker just frustrating.
Location
Generator kept me awake Bed super uncomfortable
Obsługa bardzo miła ,pokój Ala apartament wszystko prawie czego potrzeba po za suszarką do włosów,blisko wszystko na wyciągnięcie ręki.
The room was huge and very clean. Staff were very helpful. There was a problem with the TV and they couldn't do enough to help. Was good that they had a room to fit 5, this is so hard to find and usually means booking 2 rooms.
Nothing- we were very pleased with our stay.
Spotlessly clean,great staff ,good bar chat aswell
Surrounding properties in poor states of dis repair,but thats no fault of the Pier Hotell,which was very ppleasant
It was very near to the centre, the beach and most amenities
It’s a lovely hotel. Such a shame that the property nearby is cordoned off, unsightly and run down, and the one across the road is also a burnt out building, also cordoned off. As adults we overlook this but our young Grandson found it a bit overwhelming and scary.
Lovely staff,clean room
Staff were very friendly and kind plus helpful, room.ws amazing very spacious with kitchen and outdoor bit great for big family didn't feel cramped.
All was great highly recommend
Close to activities and beach. Bus station also within a few minutes walk. Staff lovely
A little bit noisy outside at times but it all quietened down by about 11.30 pm noise was from other local hotels and was not from the pier hotel
Great staff and budget hotel
The staff ( Becky & Michelle ) were brilliant couldn't have been more helpful despite being busy running the hotel.
Nothing.
Was really wonderful stay absolutely loved the bedsheets. Beds were very comfortable very friendly and got the impression of go out of their way to help you.
Nothing
We loved how they had made the kids room a seaside theme! The girls LOVED the bunk beds.
The only thing that let it down was the loud music from karaoke bar late at night. It can't be helped, it's just tricky for parents with young kids like ours.
Property had a good location and was nicely decorated inside and had good facilities
Was left over rubbish under bed and a drink left in the side drawers Aswell as sand in the bath room , staff was also abit miserable
Close to the sea front, lovely staff will definitely will visit again
The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was super.
The karaoke bar,opposite pumping out very loud music until the small hours
Very friendly owner, always on hand if needed. Room were spotless with very comfy beds and everything you need for your stay. Great location for shops, beach and food and drink. The pier hotel made our stay so much more comfortable and pleasurable than the other places we have stayed in Clacton. Will definitely be our place to stay from now on.
Convenient location. Clean. Generally quiet. Spacious family room
Bunk bed mattresses are worn and springs can be felt. Toilet seat needs replacing as it was cracked. Towel rail about to fall off wall in bathroom
Good location. Clean. Lovely staff. Very helpful and accommodating
Really nice place. staff were lovely and friendly. Bed was so comfy and excellent pillows. nice and clean
No parking which is a turn off if you have little ones with you, my room was on top floor which was hard to get little one up there with suitcases and although you can add the wifi it just doesnt work in the room or any where in the property. the window next to one of the kids beds open wide with no security catch on it yet the window by the double bed you couldnt really open it wide as it has child security lock on it. Tv didnt work either so hard to occupy the kids in the evening.
Lovely that we were all able to have one room as there so many of us x
Breakfast was great. Made our orders exactly as we asked and even went out if their way to go to the shops to get an item that was requested that they did not have in stock.

No tenía aire acondicionado
Loved the staff very friendly, very clean, and an amazing location close to Calton pier
Beds where slightly to hard for me. But im sure the older generations would appreciate them
The location
The parking but the parking for all of clacton is bad
Excellent location
Room was on top floor
Lovely big clean rooms

The proximity to the beach and shops and easy parking.
Nothing
All staff were nice and polite, the room was immaculate, all round a very nice experience, would definitely recommend
We spent four lovely days staying at the hotel. The room was spotlessly clean, spacious and bright, even though (and this was my mistake when booking) it was on the top floor! The only slight drawback was that I found the toilet bowl wasn’t perfectly clean, but I sorted it out myself with some disinfectant. Otherwise, we had a brilliant time; the breakfasts were fantastic – a joy for the eyes and for… the tummy! Last but not least, the kindness and helpfulness of Becky and all the staff! The Pier Hotel is a little gem, decorated in a sailing style, and I particularly loved the beautiful mirrors! I highly recommend this hotel and we’ll definitely be back in the future!
Nothing in particular, but I’d advise the room cleaning staff to take more care when cleaning the toilets (it’s just my professional perspective).
Location Comfy Bed & bedding, Staff were helpful even making space for 1 motorcycle & 1 scooter, Location is best near pier town & Wetherspoons
N/a
I recommend this hotel. It’s a great hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. It is close to the sea, the pier, and restaurants.
The staff were pleasant and it was quiet and friendly.
Guest room had no headboard on the bed, no bedside table - turned an empty waste paper basket upside down and used that. The room smelt musty and felt so sorry for them due to the road looking like a war zone. Hotel next door had broken windows boarded up and the hotel opposite was burnt out. I was a little in shock turning into the road because obviously this was not in pictures. Thankfully I had a sea view which made my stay less of a shock. I would have hoped for more warning.
Good location, clean & nice room. Not a comfortable mattress on bed.
Excellent perfect.
Perfect.
Really close to the seafront and town
When we arrived they said they’d cancelled our room but not called to tell us. They then had another room which was more expensive.
Bed was comfortable
We paid the same money as our friends who had the honeymoon suite for a small room with no bath, we were sold the breakfast as the best in Clacton and it was inedible, really poor quality ingredients, bottomless drinks included only if you can manage to force the first one down! Absolutely awful, pleasant stay but more about who we were with than the accommodation
Great location, great hotel. Becky the hotel manager was amazing, nothing is too much trouble
Nothing to not like
It was very quit and clean.
I like everything about the property I would love to go again
Manager really helpful, property very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay with kids. Fridge, freezer, cutlery etc.
Needed a hairdryer although didnt ask and they may have had one.
Great staff and clean accommodation (parking available out font).
Perfect location and staff very friendly and helpful
Very hot in our room and as we had to have the windows open, it was also very noisy.
Staff very polite nice and clean quite area very close to beach
That i didn't stay longer
The room was clean and cozy. The staff was amazingly nice.
Not applicable
There really was nothing I didn't like about the hotel but unfortunately there was a burnt out hotel opposite which spoilt the road
Close to beach
So many stars to get to room and no bath
Property was good facilities were great close to beach front and shops but a rough area
The area
We didn’t get the breakfast, we read that you have to order it by 8p.m the night before but there are lots of places only a few minutes walk from the hotel so it was fine . It’s 2 minutes from the pier so the location is great if you don’t want to be driving. We stayed midweek so it was quiet in the night. Clean spacious room with all the amenities, lovely beach theme, kitchen with fridge, freezer etc. in the family room which was great . It’s only a few minutes from the beach and the centre of town. Wetherspoons around the corner is very good value for food ! We would definitely stay again .
Location was amazing
Bathroom bin was not emptied, shower temperature was temperamental, only one milk pot for tea and coffee tray.
Location was very good close to all amenities staff lovely
Nothing found it all good
We had a fantastic time, the staff were wonderful people. Especially Backie, who was very kind the whole time. We could count on him for everything. We will come again!
Clean, tidy. The lady that meet me was lovely. Bed was very comfy. It's right next to the seafront to. I will definitely stay again.
Very clean and spacious
Nothing
We have stayed there for a night with my twins. Rooms are very clean. Becky and the staff is extremely kind and friendly. Would highly recommend this Hotel when you visit Clacton.🥰🥰
None
The place was clean, comfortable we stayed in a room all together (5 people) and we all slept comfortably. Very good place. Thank you.
Just by the beach ⛱️ 😎 and close to the shops good food on the beach makes a nice change from the hustle and bustle of London
Nothing to dislike
The kids room off the family room was cute and my son loved it; but the room and carpets felt very dirty
SO noisy, lively bar opposite and it’s hot so couldn’t not have the windows open. Next to that is a burnt down building with a burnt van. Really run down and didn’t feel very safe.
Lovely we room
Nothing
Location and staff and price
Close to beach, restaurants and nightlife. Hotel clean, staff friendly and room comfortable, though very small. Perfectly situated. Breakfast available if you pre-book it the night before.
Double rooms are a bit of a squeeze and no air con in bedrooms which makes it difficult to sleep in high heat. The bar only sells cans of beer not on the pump so didn't bother with the bar but didn't need to. Only one parking space so had to find parking elsewhere and walk round with our luggage.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere and how friendly everyone was, when we walked in we instantly felt at home and very comfortable and then when we sore our room we was amazed at how big it was! I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels around Clacton but this was the first time I’d brought my little boy for his 3rd birthday and it loved it aswell! Honestly the Pier Hotel is probably one of the best in Clacton and we can’t wait to come and stay again soon!
Nothing
The staff were nice and the pier was 5 minute walk
On the standard double room the description is large double bed which is why i chose this hotel but when i arrived the double bed was tiny and we could barely sleep on it. Easily one of the worst nights sleep ive ever had. Very very disappointed.
Bardzo dobra lokalizacja. Przyjechałam wcześniej, a mimo to otrzymałam klucz do pokoju. Mogłam również zaparkować na jedynym dostępnym miejscu parkingowym. Bardzo miła obsługa.
Brak nocnej szafki w pokoju
Near the beach Clean with no bad smells
?
You still haven't refund me I have contacted you but still no refund
You haven't refunded me ,im still waiting for my refund.i have been lied to i am disabled but still haven't had my refund
A nice hotel staff friendly will definitely be booking again
Very good location, very clean and modern. We were upgraded to the wedding suite which was a lovely surprise, with a big balcony and very big bathroom. Plenty of tea and coffee.
I can say there is nothing I didn’t like about this hotel!
Everything was fine.
The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained throughout. Although the exterior gave a different first impression, the inside was welcoming, modern, and much more spacious than expected. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and were even upgraded to the bridal suite, which was a lovely surprise. The room was exactly as described, beautifully presented, and very comfortable. The bed was extremely comfy, and the bedding was soft and of excellent quality, making for a great night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and overall the property offered excellent value and a very enjoyable stay.
We had a wonderful stay. The room was beautiful, very comfortable, and the bed was especially comfortable. Becky was a fantastic host and provided excellent service throughout our stay. We were very happy with everything and would definitely return here!
The landlady was very friendly and accommodating Very close to the sea and the pier
Not much parking but we were lucky as we were able to use the 1 parking space available - there are carparks in the area though. The building next door was derelict which gave a negative 1st impression but the hotel and rooms were very clean and comfortable
Rooms were very spacious and clean, Becky was lovely, very friendly and the breakfast was amazing 👌
Absolutely nothing
I have stayed here before. Simple facilities but very helpful staff and a great location
Clean tidy nice staff. Felt very relaxed. It was perfect for we wanted. Definitely be back.
The fact its right by the pier and seafront, the bed was amazingly comfortable the staff was lovely my little girl loved the mermaid on the wall
The flooring in the bathroom felt like it dipped and i nearly slipped over but thats all.
Good location! Beach, shops, cafes... Friendly and helpful workers. Amazing 2 night in Pier hotel. The owner is amazing woman! Thank you 😊
All was lovely Becky is a fantastic hostess
That we had to leave So comfy and peaceful stay and never want to leave
