The worst hotel experience I have ever had, I was in Southend for a family wedding checked in about 4 pm git to the room tv remote was barely working, went out for a late lunch, came back for a shower no hot water available, so due to time constrictions just got changed and went to the reception got back at 1am hotel locked took 20 minutes until the night porter arrived to let us in settled in for the night got up this morning again absolutely no hot water available for either a bath or shower packed went to check out talking to other guests in the way downstairs all found the same no hot water and absolutely no explanation got to reception no sign of any staff apart from a dining waitress who told us breakfast wouldn’t be available and she had no idea where the receptionist was myself and other guests just left our room keys on reception desk and left absolutely disgusted never again.

A Nightmare

A disaster. Had booked for 2 nights. But moved to another hotel for the second night. The Muthu hotel should not have been open. They knew they had a plumbing problem,which meant there was no hot water. The room was old and needed renovation. The double bed had a thin sprung mattress that must have been so old that the springs moved in all directions. The so called clothes closet, which also acted as a storage cupboard only had three coat hangers for a family room. The upstairs corridors and stairs had obviously not been vacuumed the day we were there. The reception area and downstairs lounge were very clean and bright. They had obviously been renovated, but the upstairs Disasterous.

My experience at this hotel was unfortunately disappointing, especially given that I had booked a suite three months in advance. Upon checking in at 8:45pm, I was given a room that was clearly not the suite I had paid for. When I went back down to query it, I was told that due to a wedding, they had prioritised giving the suite to someone else. No prior warning, no communication — just an apology and a downgrade to an “executive room”, which was a lower standard. While the hotel staff said they would refund the difference, what was most frustrating is that had I known in advance, I could have booked a suite elsewhere. The room itself was spacious and had sea view windows, but they were so dirty that it completely ruined the view. The bathroom was far from ‘executive’ — the shower unit was tiny, though there was a jet bath (a nice touch), but the overall décor was dated and worn. Also, do not pay extra for breakfast — it was really poor. Coffee came from an urn and was almost undrinkable, and the rest of the food was very basic and budget-quality. Eat elsewhere if you can. However, I must say Expedia were amazing — they listened to my complaint and offered a small but reasonable credit refund, which was excellent service and very much appreciated. Overall, this was a hotel experience I’d rather forget. If you do stay here, keep your expectations low — or you’re likely to be disappointed.

I’d probably give it a swerve

The experience at this hotel wasn’t great. The staff were friendly but our room didn’t have any toiletries or iron/ironing board in it despite pamphlets to the contrary. I phoned down to reception and the toiletries were provided, the hot water in the shower didn’t seem to work, another call to reception and we were told to keep the hot tap in the sink and the shower running at the same time for 10 minutes before it gets hot, which worked but it such an awful waste of water during this drought of a summer. By the time I noticed the iron was missing I lacked the motivation to make another call to reception. The sheets had some rather nasty looking stains on them, as did the sofa in receptions. There was loud music coming from somewhere in the hotel until about 3.30am which made for a terrible nights sleep, not to mention the noisy pigeon population that had made the dingy courtyard our frosted windows looked out upon, another source of unwanted sound. Floorboards above very creaky and thin walls meant it was very easy to hear doors slamming shut in the morning.

Great staff make up for a lacklustre stay

The hotel appears to have a long standing issue with the hot water, so much so that there was a notice on the toilet cistern saying so. Both the shower and hot watertap must be run at the same time. If we knew we wouldn't have booked. The walls are thin, we could hear other residents in the wee small hours, and there was a persistent and intermittent scratching through the night which I suspect was a rodent. The last time I looked at the clock it was 3am. I have never had to write a review like this before, however it's fair to say you get what you pay for.

Issue with hot water. Sometimes had to wait a long time before water heated up. Once when showering, the water went cold in the middle of the shower. Also sink wasn't very broad; each time I washed my face, water dripped from my chin on to the floor which I then had to clean up

Our room looked literally NOTHING like the charming photo - we had a single and a double bed in a quite old fashioned room. No air con. Heat blasting in the windows. Which opened, so that's good! Still nice though. Very old fashioned and charming. Oh god and the elevator is VERY small, so if you dislike small spaces... but the bar and bar staff rock! And front desk guy was lovely.

The hotel overal was okey, nice family room, good location for shopping, walkable to the sea site. The minus was the hot water which you have to wait like 10 mins and you have to constantly run water to get warm/hot, which in mine opinion its waste of the water and the boiler should be change at that stage. At the front of the reception we have slight struggle to get hold as was no one at the desk and no ring bell or anything to be able get attention. By the way we didn't hear when we check out from the receptionist words " I hope we see you again", instead we heard " okey, bye" which put us off more to the hotel.
