Viva Guest House

We stayed here for one night while visiting Clacton and it was amazing. The location was perfect, right by the seafront and only a short walk down to the pier. Upon arrival we were greeted by Kirk who was very friendly and welcoming and gave a thorough tour of the property and all the information we needed for our stay. We couldn't fault the room, we had a large double bed and a single bed which were both so comfy. The room was very spacious and also had tea/coffee making facilities with biscuits which was a nice addition. The bathroom was nice and had a good size shower. Our room was on the top floor and had a lovely sea view. We were pleased to find the room also had a safe, although we didn't use it on this occasion it was a nice touch to have in the room. There was also parking available for free at the property, either on the driveway or the road outside which was handy. Breakfast was fantastic - a great choice of food, freshly cooked and served hot. A range of hot/cold drinks on offer and additions like cereal and toast also included. The host Kirk was also very knowledgeable about the local area and was able to answer any questions we had. The property is very nice and modern and a great place to stay while in the area - we would definitely return if we're in Clacton again. Thank you!

Fantastic guest house. Friendly people, spacious comfortable rooms which were absolutely spotless. Well equipped bathroom and homely communal areas. It was too wet to use the garden but it looked very welcoming. Fantastic breakfast - well cooked, great choice and, well, everything was perfect.

Absolutely amazing!!!!! Best guest house we have ever stayed at. The rooms were immaculate, En suite immaculate, bed very comfy and clean. The host was perfect, breakfast was absolutely stunning!!! Fresh water and biscuits in the room daily.

Very professional greeting on arrival, very friendly as well, not an easy balance to achieve but done very well. Absolutely spotless, great service, very friendly, excellent location. Loved all the little touches around the hotel. The hotel is located in a quite part of Clacton, so perfect for wife and I. If you do arrive early there is plenty of parking at the bottom of St Pauls road on Marine Parade E, more than long enough to last until check in. The room had everything that was required, plus nice little extras, Chilled water, Biscuits, plenty of tea coffee and milk, a couple of sweets. Lovely breakfast, with lots of choice available. Kirk is a great host, lots of advice about the area and recommendations of where to eat, very good company over breakfast as well. Special thanks for getting up early on our last day and providing an early breakfast, it was much appreciated!

What an absolute gem of a guest house, beautiful decor, light and fresh, interior decoration is second to non. We stayed for one night, room was on the ground floor, vey spacious with a beautiful wet room bathroom, very comfortable and again beautiful decor and quirky little touches everywhere you look. Kirk was an amazing host, very friendly and a great cook with a hearty beautifully cooked breakfast. We will definitely visit again soon, anyone wanting a getaway to Clacton on Sea, The Viva Guest is an absolute must 👍👍👍

We love this guest house. Recently had our second stay and it was absolutely brilliant. Everything within the property is perfect, beautifully decorated and spotless. It is is a perfect location, far enough away from the busy areas but close enough for a comfortable short walk. Breakfast is excellent and my picky eating needs were met with no problem at all. Kirk is the best host that you will find, very knowledgeable about the area and always with recommendations, and we have some great laughs. We will no doubt be returning next year.
