Top Hythe Quay Hotel Reviews

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was clean and spacious. Twin in the separate wing. Food in the restaurant was awful at dinner and they’d be better serving basic English food rather than attempting foreign cuisine. It was adequate for my purpose of dropping off a teen at university. Parking was great although very full, WiFi good and location central. All being said I’d stay again when I visit the university."

Wivenhoe House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room, grounds and staff are amazing. We ordered a gift package for the room as a birthday celebration, cost of £9 for 2 chocolates is extortionate."
