Campanile Hotel - Basildon - East of London

As I turned into the hotel complex, I could see the garden areas were well maintained and looked delightful. The 'welcome' at Reception was warm and informative. The room was extremely clean and tidy and had everything I required for an overnight stay, including tea, coffee and milk. There were plenty of parking spaces and even when I returned at 9:30pm, it was still easy to park not far from my room. It really is a well laid out complex and as elderly, single woman, I felt really safe. I had a great night’s sleep. Because of the motel type layout, there were no banging doors or people talking loudly in corridors, just a nice quite night. The bed was supportive but at the same time soft but not too soft, the pillows were slim and softish and very comfortable. At breakfast the next morning, the waitress explained what was on offer and took my order, then I relaxed with a great cup of tea while it was cooked. I didn't want a full 'English' so chose poached eggs on toast and bacon. The poached eggs were spot on, nicely rounded and exactly soft enough in the middle. They came with nice lean bacon that was fried. There was plenty of brown or white bread on offer, along with croissants, muffins and other delights. Oh joy! There were multiple real toasters available to toast the bread, far better than the conveyer type ones that are often used in other hotels. I have stayed in other hotels but this is the one I will be coming back to in Basildon, as I really enjoyed my stay.

Easy to get too. Convenient parking for my lwb van. Grounds tidy. Rooms lovely and clean bit continental lay out with battle scars. Good TV channels. Bathroom and bedroom good size. Staff nice and pleasant good breakfast choice off full English or yogurt fruit cereals toast cheese and jams plus honey and much more. Decent evening meals plus good bar for drinks plenty off drinks machines for soft drinks payable. Just round corner is asda and mc Donald's plus more big shops as industrial park room cleaned daily

Comfortable bed and pillows. Had all we needed. Staff very thoughtful and gave us a room away from the bar area. Once traffic died down it was very quiet. We both slept v well.

make no mistake this is a budget hotel, set out like a motel. but saying that the room is basic but exceptionally clean you have a hot shower tv tea making facilities and a lovely breakfast in the onsite facility, it has a bar and exceptional staff. It is just off the A127 three minutes to basildon by car, bus routes & a retail park just across the road. Our stay was uneventful & quiet. we will continue to use this hotel when we are in the area again

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I particularly rate the kitchen. I had an evening meal and breakfast there and the food was freshly cooked and good. When you stay at Campanile you know what you are going to get but the staff raised it above expectations. All the facilities worked as you’d expect as well.
