I had a business trip in Basildon for 1 day. After reading horrible reviews at the Travelodge, I thought about staying at the Holiday Inn. However, I found Campanile. The last review was a year ago so I thought I’d give it a try. Also, there was a huge price difference between Campanile and the Holiday Inn; over 100 Pounds!... more

I travel to the area at least once a month, and decided that the hotel I had been using for the past few months was getting a bit boring, so a change was needed. The Campanile was a lot cheaper than I usally pay but it looked OK on the web. When I finally found it (not the hotels fault... more

We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who made sure the room was in the right location for our needs. The room was, as always, very clean and tidy, the bed comfortable and all you would need for an overnight stay. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and all in all a nice experience. We will always return to this hotel... more

I stayed at the Campanile for 1 night as I was passing through. Room was very basic, but suited my needs, I heard no traffic?? I had a lovely meal at the resturant (Steak, Chips and a salad) the drinks were abit expensive but there is a 24 hour Asda across the street. I had breakfast in the morning, full... more

Staff unhelpful and spoke very poor english. The breakfast waiter was downright rude. My plate was literally thrown on to my table! Rooms are clean but dark and basic. Bar/Restaurant shuts at 11pm - you are then thrown out. We ended up finishing our drinks outside, whilst the staff continued drinking and watching TV in the bar!! Reasonably priced, but... more

I had two nights reserved here by the company I work for before I read the reviews on here. Not detered, I actually arrived a day early and they were able to accomodate me. I had a ground floor, end room which was clean, a comfortable double bed, ensuite facilities, bath and shower, TV and telephone (room 75) The staff... more

I travel to Basildon on a weekly basis from the North of England for work purposes and have stayed in quite a few hotels down here... and this place is award winningly bad. I was booked in for 3 nights and arrived about 9pm. The carpet in the room was badly stained, the room itself smelt a bit musty and... more

Mmm some reviews have mentioned traffic noise? Luckily enough I found that this was not excessively loud or disturbing in my room. However I found that the room was tiny, and not really welcoming. I would not recommend it for a leisure user or for someone staying more than 1 night. However I would also point out that I got... more

DO NOT stay at this hotel.We made 3 telephone calls to directory enquires and got charged £23.40.We said we are not paying that for 3 calls that are only 50 pence each but the next day my partner got charged on his credit card without our authorisation. The rooms are very basic and staff are very rude!! more
