Devine Beach Hotel, Westcliff Southend-on-Sea

Truly awful stay, paper thin walls could hear next room breathing, body hair on teaspoon so didn’t dare use tea making facilities, unstable and uncomfortable bed that desperately needs replacing

The picture on the advert is nothing like the room we had, bed frame was too small for the matress so it hung over the sides, the toilet was noisy and the door was made of old cupboard door panels, unlockable, the walls were paper thin and we could hear the neighbours conversation and snoring, cold water tap was hard to turn off, parking was a joke and no one at reception, we were booked for a week but only managed 3 days then we just left, not a hotel just a hovel, avoid like the plague, if it were possible i would give it minus 10 out of 10.

Don’t take your wife Shabby accommodation, not the cleanest as per the pics. But at least the bed sheets were clean. Offered no breakfast options. But met the duty manager and she seemed nice. TV and hairdryer out of order too.. Need a code to enter the building and your room so make sure you save this or you will struggle to enter.

Basically expensive below par accommodation Booking in via web at front door took forever due to limited phone signal. No staff on site. Only 1 tea and 1 coffee in room. Shower cubicle so small I wasn't able to use due to back issues. Basic but expensive for the standard of room

Absolutely awful! This is the worst hotel I have ever been in. The light in the cupboard is about to fall off the wall, and doesn't even work. The shower doesn't even get hot. Dust everywhere! Bed is falling apart as lots of screws are either loose or missing. Doors about to fall off of cupboard. Desk is in awful condition. Screw hanging out of wall for no reason at all. Shower system is not even finished, it's hanging out of the wall and silicone splattered all around it. All skirting around top and bottom of wall looks like it's about to break. The coffee smells awful. Dirty tissues on top of bathroom ceiling. The TV is almost ancient and doesn't work, signal is Awful! WiFi doesn't even connect. Hairs/pubic hairs in beds and shower cubicle. I would be fully expecting a full refund for the condition of this room! Will not be returning!

get what you pay for This hotel is a great location for exploring the areas around Southend. It is basic and you get what you pay for. The only annoying thing was that the shower was either too hot or too cold - which meant that we were not able to shower properly during our 2 day trip
