9.0

The surroundings, it was a very nice University site. The lakes and the trees where nice, good walks. breakfast was ok and the dinner also. View of the terrace: astounding.

some roads wrew only for buses, our navigation got confused, t get out of the campus was a problem.

The whole place, it was immaculate.

In my opinion there was nothing to dislike

Prima verblijf!

7.0

Mooie ligging @campus Essex University. Gemiddeld genomen mooie kamers, met name de kamers in de nieuwbouw ‘annex’. De ‘klassieke’ kamers in de ‘oudbouw’ zijn m.i. kwalitatief iets minder

De ‘klassieke’ kamer in de ‘oudbouw’ is, helaas, vrij gehorig.

Nothing more to say.

Betty · MY · 2026-07-22

Was OK. Could be so much better without a lot of effort.

5.0

Fresh milk in room. Clean. Beds OK. Staff in dining room friendly.

Pillows were awful. Bedroom very hot despite fans. No Netflix in room. Staff uninformed re parking at EV points. Bit of a disconnect between the job and staff knowledge generally.

Lovely staff, comfortable rooms, good food.

10.0

The location was great for an event we were going to at the University of Essex. But once you were there it felt like you were in the countryside.

Nothing.
