Top Chelmsford Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were absolutely amazing. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short due to my autistic grandson having a meltdown. The staff were very professional and kind in handling the situation"

Holiday Inn Express London Chingford by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so kind and helpful. For example, I’m American, so I didn’t understand why the switches weren’t working, so they explained the little card slot to me. They were also super kind and made me a pizza even though the kitchen was closed for dinner, since I got lost trying getting back in time. The breakfast was pretty good (i miss my pancakes lol), the room was clean, and it was very close by to a couple bus stations so not too far a walk. With the grocery store right behind it was easy to get anything I needed that I had forgotten. :)<3"
