Good reasonable hotel in central Chelmsford

Hotel rather bland and a little tired.

Our room was small and overpriced.

Nice and clean. Decent breakfast. Would recommend for a short break.

My recent stay at the County Hotel was disappointing due to the room allocated to me upon arrival, the room was not in the main building but in a new block at the back of the hotel facing the car park, the room was clean etc; but the space and layout of the room was very small and electrical layout very poor and needs better planning, I probably will not return back again due to my experience this time.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious!!! 2nd time of saying and would stay again.

Tiny boiling hot room. £145 for one night including car park. No AC and windows would only open 2 inches. Avoid!

worn out

Very noisy .creaky floors.loud boiler workings up to 10pm (in room 67).bath water not hot enough.very noisy bathroom extractors. Tv program choices excellent.tea/ coffee facilities excellent.limited toiletries supplied. Would have expected complimentary overnight parking

I have stayed here many times. Thus time i was put in what the hotel call the cottages. No they are not cottages. Tgey back onto the main busy road into chelmsford. It was like sleeping on the M25. Worst night sleep ive had in a long time . The hotel now charge £9 to park at tge hotel for patrons and a £20 deposit for the room Key in the Cottage rooms . Check in was rather chaotic but that was because it was Friday night and staff were training . Would never want to stay in the "Cottages" part of hotel located at end of car park which is noisy and backs onto main road again it was awful . Prefer to sty in main part of hotel .

Nice enough. Generally pleasant.

The staff were incredibly helpful and greeted me with friendly, welcoming smiles that brightened my day. I highly recommend this venue.

All good

My hotel room turned out not to be in the hotel but in a converted semi detached house in the back of the hotel car park additional charges for breakfast and parking (£10 per night) seemed incredibly over the top, and breakfast was definitely not worth £15.

Liked the location i.e not far from the station, although i did drive. Didnt like the outer building where the room was.

As I have to have a hotel once a month due to work I thought I would make a change from the usual Premier Inn I have month in month out. As this hotel is only a five minute walk from the Train Station it seemed ideal. I cannot see how the price of £160 per night is justified. The room I had was rather small and the bed equally so. When compared the quality of bed at Premier Inn, I was beginning to think I had made a mistake to the tune of £60 Although breakfast was very good, even if charged at £20, that would make the room £140 and certainly never worth that much As for what ember of management thought it a good idea to allow the carpet fitters to start banging around before 09.00 on the Main stairs so no-one could get past, perhaps they may need to re-think their priorities. The only way to get access downstairs from what I could see was via the disabled access lift that wouldn't move without another person outside to hold the door shut. Would I stay here again, afraid not on this basis and rather disappointed in fact.

Room was very basic. It was hot outside but the radiator in the bathroom was constantly on and the corridor outside was ridiculously hot. There was a fan in the room but not big enough for a room of that size. Not being able to make the room any cooler was extremely uncomfortable

This hotel is very conveniently located in the centre of Chlemsford and it is only a short walk to the mainline train station, which has excellent and frequent Greater Anglia train services to London. The hotel staff, especially the reception ladies, are very friendly and pleasant, helpful and accommodating. The breakfast buffet has now been replaced by a freshly cooked to order offering, for which you need to allow extra time. My only gribble was the breakfast coffee was tepid.

Overall a good trip, all the staff are super friendly and the 2 issues I had with the room were sorted quickly. Bed was comfy and large, lots of space in room so didn't feel cramped in. Bath and shower both worked well. Only 2 negatives really, the sound proofing in the rooms is terrible, even though I was on the opersite side of the hotel to the main road I could hear road noise all the time. Not once in 4 mornings there was my breakfast order correct. One day I got extra items I didn't ask for, the other 3 I got the right items but the wrong quantities. I watched the server write down the correct order on the last 2 days so can only assume the kitchen were rushing and didn't read correctly. Small issue really I know. Overall though a nice stay and would come back

Nice clean staff friendly

New apartment clean an convenient for my educational training needs

Hotel is looking a little dated and could do with a lick of paint

was good clean and simple

Receptionist was excellent but the hotel had an overwhelming odour of old sea food. Old very creaky floors meant that sleep was difficult as the noise from elsewhere was constant. Very clean though although rooms are a bit tired.

Charming little hotel, friendly staff, rooms was cute and clean, no issues to report.

Had a fantastic nights stay at the country hotel room was great bed very comfy and room was spotless hotel staff very helpful would recommend this hotel to all .short walk to town overall will be staying here agsin when im in chelmsford .

Beyond the reception, bar and restaurant this hotel is awful. The room I had was incredibly tired, I would put this at a poor 2 star rating. Chelmsford is not blessed with hotels but I would never stay here again. Insufficient hot water, no soundproofing between floors or between the room ad corridor (the inch gap below the door doesn’t help that). Every time the room above moved you could hear them. I am sure they will put some response saying some rooms are due for upgrading or some such but the room i had is not fit to be sold. I stay in a lot of hotels and this was the worst i have stayed in for a while.

Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Good central location, modern facilities in the room including smart TV. Room quiet even though there was a Christmas party downstairs. Would definitely stay there again if I needed to stay in Chelmsford. Close to railway station so I didn't drive but there is car parking available.

A very warm welcome from the hotel - reception staff amazing! Hotel room was booked due to dinner/disco event - food fantastic and a great night! Sadly the room itself was a little tired but clean and very comfortable bed. Annoyed at lack of hot water in shower and having to "run" the water for approx 10 mins before tepid...However, the hotel staff noted my issue and agreed to investigate. Very accommodating.

Over priced and no hot water Parking is extra charge

Was not informed before hand that it is £9 a night to park. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed ive ever slept on
