Stayed at this hotel in 2006 whilst visiting my neice. Had a family which was large but was very dated and smelt of smoke. Uuuggh. When we checked out I left my watch ont op of the toilet. We went to the car and I realised what I had done. The room was already being cleaned but they claim there... more

After reading the below reviews we were a bit apprehensive of visiting the Bold Hotel, but was pleasantly suprised when we did. An Old Hotel with plenty of caracter and friendly staff. The room was very clean and well maintained allthough the decor was not to our taste. Unfortunaly our stay was only short and we could not try all... more

We stayed at this hotel for the Open Golf at Birkdale. The hotel was out dated, in a very noisy area at night, and the light entertainment laid on came straight from Blackpool's dives I think, a Tina Turner lookalike!! More importantly, 2 of our rooms were robbed while we were at the golf, by someone with a key as... more

The prices are way too high for what you get. The night we were there, there were people yelling in the hall and... more

Stayed at the Bold Hotel this weekend for two evenings. When we first arrived about 8.30pm Friday night (Bank Holiday Weekend) the bar area was packed, really vibrant with a good mix of people. We went upstairs to check into our room and although the floorboards were creaky and the decor in the hallways a bit dated we were plesently... more

We found it hard to find many hotels with parking in Southend and darted in to The Bold Hotel when we spied a place in the small car park at the back. £55 got us a double room with a view to the front onto the activity along the main street below. The rooms are above a pub/restaurant in a... more
