There was nothing to like, I wasn't given the password, I arrived and stayed outside for more than half an hour, he asked me for my Edi as soon as I gave him my Ed, he saw that I was Brazilian, he already said that I I couldn't receive men and he didn't even know if I was going to receive people, what was I doing in the city? He didn't give me the password. I climbed more than six stairs with my suitcases when I got there, my knee was injured. I asked him to cancel it. He didn't cancel and never gave me the password, so like losing, I lost my money,

    Chelmsford has good shops and restaurants. When we travel down by train we have easy access around places using the bus service. Train and bus stations or taxis are easy to get to. One of our favorite places to eat was the indian restaurant in Moulsham street.

    Chelmsford is a lovely, friendly city with a great atmosphere. Shopping is a dream here and the old buildings in it give it character and charm. It is also clean and tidy. Can't wait to go back. Public transport is very good.

    Great fun for the hen do! The best taxi firm in Essex we found, after a lot of hassle from others, was ‘Your Cabbie’. Graham was our driver and was our knight in shining taxi! 01245 354040, highly recommend!

    Having lived in Chelmsford since 1960 i have seen lots of changes, i have now moved away but still go back to visit family, it is a lovely town with lots of nice shops and plenty of places to eat. There is a Cathedral in the centre of town which is worth going to see.Not much more to say except that it is a good place to visit if you are in nearby Colchester and the coastal towns of Clacton Walton and Frinton.

    This property is beautifully located by the River Chelmer in an upmarket development a few minutes walk just outside of Chelmsford city centre. The apartment is in a brand new development with modern furnishings, comfortable beds and sofa. Everything was exquisitely clean with adequate toilet roll etc. The host was very helpful and approachable and a pleasure to deal with. All pictures matched the apartment and was not dated or innacurate. Highly recommended!

    The property was in an ideal location right in the centre of Chelmsford and an ideal distance for our party which was in Writtle nearby. The breakfast was lovely with a good selection of pastries, juices and hot food. We liked that the room came with a fan, iron and hairdryer. A big thanks to Yulia who responded to all my messages prior to our stay, and all the staff on arrival were helpful.

    Lovely little touches.. nice decor, nice wall art, vibrant and modern, perfectly clean and well maintained. We appreciated the kindness of the owner, leaving bread, cereal milk etc for us. Lovely little garden, v close to center of Chelmsford where there is great shopping and other amenities. Quick and easy to access the property after hours via the key safe box.

    Spotlessly clean. Great staff. Amazing room in terms of decor and history of the building. Great facilities in the room that you would need to relax and for a business trip. Dulco coffee machine. You will be at the back of the building for all rooms, so not noisy that way. Massive rooms.
