Best Western London Ilford Hotel

Best Western London Ilford Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"If you are okay with a short train ride to central London. This hotel is for you. Pro close to the train station. Shopping mall and restaurants near by. Con no air conditioner, but they provide a fan. If you are travelling in the fall or winter. This hotel would make a great choice."

DoubleTree by Hilton Dartford Bridge

8/10 Good
"Check-in experience good and room nice and clean, pool area and changing rooms quite tired and not particularly clean in areas. Staff very helpful, and overall a good hotel stay, would stay again. Would just recommend being mindful of pool times as I went on Sunday evening and it was incredibly busy with children jumping in and out of the pool and hot tub all the way up until closing, so unless you are there during the adult-only times, you may have a bit of disruption."

What is a historic hotel like in Chelmsford?

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These terms are similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the physical building and architecture. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. In Chelmsford, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
