"Exceptional Stay with Stunning Views and Outstand
"We had an exceptional one-night stay at the Holiday Inn Southend. The room was incredibly comfortable, and the reception team genuinely cared about our comfort, even giving us a courtesy call shortly after check-in to ensure everything was perfect. The views of the airport were breathtaking, especially during breakfast on the 5th floor – a truly unique experience. I can't wait to return! A big thank you to the Holiday Inn team for making our stay so memorable."
I have to recommend The Holiday Inn Southend Airport. A modern clean and comfortable hotel. Give it a try. Special thanks to Yanet and Natasha on reception.
I booked 1 double bed since i was coming with my partner only to be given 2 single beds. Was told this was available or am free to cancel. How rude!
Requested takeaway breakfast staff did not have it ready at checkout unfortunately i forgot it. They did not make an effort to hand it to us or at least remind.
Da wir morgends mit der Fähre angekommen waren, waren wir bereits früh im Hotel und konnten auch schon früh einchecken. Das gesamte Personal ist sehr , sehr zuvorkommend, aufmerksam und nett!
Frühstück super, mit Blick auf den kleinen Flughafen. Die Bar abends ebenfalls klasse!

It would have been lovely to have some herbal tea as a option. There was black tea and coffee. Just a reminder that a increasing number of guests my prefer a camomile, lemon or green tea after a long journey.
I felt safe in the hotel and the area which as a parent it’s always a priority when booking a hotel.
Thank you for the lovely hospitality
Friendly and efficient staff. Room condition a high standard. Food quality very good. The hotel has a unique setting. Great view of the airport from the restaurant.
It was a good stay, albeit only for 1 night. There was no sound from planes and air-con was a bonus. Very clean and comfortable beds.
Plenty of options at breakfast.
Staff at Reception lovely and very helpful, especially when we had to call for someone to unlock the safe!
Good service. Took dietary requirements seriously at breakfast (Gluten). Although amount of hot food that was available for gluten free guests could be increased. Clean rooms with comfortable bed and pillow options. Only small issue was that we could hear the music playing in the function room late into Friday and Saturday night.
