Mike at reception and Caroline at breakfast were simply amazing and made me feel incredibly welcome. Please ensure that they recieve my sincere thanks for their warm welcome and amazing service! Mike knew i had to get up and out early to catch the ferry, so breakfast would need to be fast, he relayed this onto Caroline who prioritised me and this kind of service is what makes a hotel stand out from the rest! Thank you very much Mike and Caroline.
The breakfast was very tasty, i wished i had more time to enjoy it, so please thank the chef too.

We arrived on a wet cold November afternoon. The heating was on. It is a lovely, clean, high spec property. We stayed in one evening because the living room was so nice.

There is a range of attractions to suit all tastes.
There is a range of attractions to suit all tastes. If you like history, there are self guided audio trails, museums devoted to the naval history and military signficance of the napoleonic and first and second world war. I came for the photographic opportunities, with massive container ships, sailing boats and the potential for glorious sunrises over the ocean. It does look a bit run down in places and I was a bit apprehensive, but everyone was very friendly, and I would sum it up as an unspoilt gem, from an earlier, more relaxed era.

Some lovely old buildings surrounded by industrial complexes. Every horizon you can’t avoid the super tank loading cranes and other industries.
If your a real ale fan, unfortunately there is very little. The Hanover burnt down so the owners opened a pop up beer shop near by. It was the only decent pint I could find. The Alma bar and rooms had an excellent atmosphere and food, but the beer is dreadful and expensive.

I was pleasantly surprised by how lovely Harwich was, there was lots of history in the old town and pretty little streets. There was not much in the way of restaurants or coffee shops but what was there was good. I ate at the Alma Inn.

During the summer months Harwich has a great deal to offer as it is by the sea, near a lovely beach which stretches to Dovercourt, and has a long maritime history. It has a new museum, upgraded cafes and park.

I had no idea until we spent some time there yesterday what an interesting and historic place Harwich is. Was particularly moved by the sculpture of the "kindertransport" children by the halfpenny pier (Jewish children sent by their parents from the NL to the UK to save them from the concentration camps). Would like to explore further.
The hotel does not look great from outside but has all necessary facilities. The room we stayed in was specious and warm. The bed was comfy so we had a good night sleep. The breakfast was basic but good enough for its price. We travelled with our dog so the location was great since there was a park nearby. It takes less than 10 minutes by taxi to reach Harwich international which is another possitive. We would return or recommend it.
The rooms were very well laid out, lovely colour scheme, comfortable beds. The price is very good. You are also right above Wetherspoons, so can eat there if you want to. And - it's soundproofed in the hotel rooms, so you can't hear anything at all from the pub below, even on a Saturday night. Also, the staff are exceptionally pleasant, helpful and friendly, with no exceptions. I don't hesitate to recommend this place.
The house was beautifully decorated with some lovely period features, extremely clean & very well-appointed. It was also very well positioned, being just yards from the seafront and the rest of historic Harwich. Thanks must go to our host, who was extremely accommodating, even going as far as to ask how we wanted the bedrooms making up!
The staff was excellent and very friendly
We used the family room on top of the pub - it was surprisingly very quiet thanks to excellent sound-proofing - it was nicely decorated
The bathroom was clean and very big, but we had to go through the corridor to access it
The breakfast was very good
The location in Harwich was great
The owner, Jayne, is lovely and made sure we had a really nice stay in Harwich. From restaurant recommendations and umbrellas to extra milk for tea, nothing was too much trouble. the location between Harwich and Dovercourt is excellent, the en-suite twin room was ideal for our requirements, and breakfast was delicious.
I arrived at a point of transition for the pub, the ladies brand newly running the pub were excellent, even though the bar wasn't open for those difficult reasons. Nevertheless, loads of good pubs in Harwich, tha British Flag is excellently located, great value, clean and the service exemplary.
Loved it!
Position for Harwich excellent and easy parking. The room we had was really beautiful, much nicer than normal hotels. Staff were worried about my husband getting up stairs and could not have been more helpful. We are hoping to return to Harwich and certainly hope they have room for us.
Our pod was lovely and really comfortable. Great staff - very helpful when we couldn't see how to turn the heating on. We'd gone for the Harwich shanty festival and it was quite a walk to Harwich but locally there were some lovely places to walk the dog and drink coffee.
My stay at Driftwood cottage was excellent, great location and the old town of harwich was so historic. Lot's of lovely old pubs that all offer great food. The cottage was so cosy and we had the best sleep, would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
Amazing building, wonderful architecture and decor, rooms are hugely spacious and have a lot of character. The staff are very kind, friendly and the hotel is very convenient for Dovercourt & Harwich, Great value for money as well
The staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient in all parts of the hotel, breakfast was lovely. The position, just by the pier, was a perfect situation for Harwich
Hotel staff were all welcoming rooms were very clean and modern. There was a lot of choice in the restaurant and the food was amazing. Would definitely visit again.
Very cosy and warm. Lovely location as we were able to walk along the beach, plenty of places to visit and very interesting to learn more about Harwich.
