Menzies Hotels London Chigwell -Prince Regent Reviews

Unfortunately our first room was as described in the title. However worse than that was the total lack of help from the receptionist when we tried to upgrade to a family room. she refused to help us and we're told to deal with Expedia directly. Eventually after elevation the issue to senior management we were given the option of a put up bed in a double room. Which was in the older part of the hotel. the room look tired smelt damp and then the toilet broke. When I asked for some reassurance from reception as to the toilet being fixed she said "I don't know I not a Plummer" I tried to get some assurance as we were about to go out but she kept repeating her pre programmed answer " I don't know I'm not a Plummer" ..... Then the taxi that reception ordered for us didn't arrive.... And so on and so on.... Really disappointing and frustrating experience at my expense!

Very nice and clean room. Was a twin bed for 2 people but the beds were pushed together so it looked like a double bed. Not suitable if you are sharing with siblings! Facilities well stocked so no need for additional supplies.

About a 20-25 minute walk, safe, from the Tube. One hour total to get into London. Enjoyable trip.

I would highly recommend this hotel. I was on my own so occupied a single room which was small but well equipped (flat screen TV, iron, safe, tea/coffee making), comfortable and very clean. The hotel specialises in functions but I was never disturbed by jollity or noise. The environs are beautiful, a lovely garden that I enjoyed wandering round. The breakfast is first rate - there is a hot buffet that is really hot with some items cooked to order and a good cold selection - and the restaurant in the evening which I availed of twice is excellent. However the main bonus is the quality of the staff. They are genuinely warm, friendly and helpful, from the management to the receptionists, the restaurant and bar staff and housekeeping they all made my stay a positive pleasure. If I am in the area again I would not stay anywhere else.

Was lovely clean hotel good value for money

Comfortable, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Only marked down because there didn't appear to be any way of controlling room temperature. Hot or cold, no in-between.

An excellent stay and well looked after...

Have stayed here many times , am always pleased with the overall experience The hotel has had a make over and looked very welcoming but the breakfast area is now much smaller and I thought had a little less choice Staff were very friendly and helpful

Horrible room. Smelly corridors. Dead leaves in stairwells. Sink didn't drain. Fungus on inner windows. Hearing fan very loud so you can't sleep. Rude staff, unhelpful. Horrible breakfast mixing meat with vegetarian. My car was damaged in car park.
