With lovely views of the Thames Estuary, this Southend-on-Sea hotel offers free Wi-Fi, treatment rooms, and free parking. The Restaurant offers seafood specialities and classic British dishes with a contemporary twist. Guests can either dine in the Roslin Restaurant, the Bar and Lounge, or choose from one of the outdoor terraces, overlooking the Estuary.

The location is excellent, but more importantly, the customer service as as good as any five star hotel I have stayed at. Indeed, i’m now staying at the Mandarin Oriental in London and the Roslin service is comparable

    A good interior design but kitchen cupboard fittings were not fixed correctly. I was worried I was going to get charged for damage if I opened a door and it fell off hinges etc. Comfortable bed
