A charming character building with good food

A really welcoming group of people and a quick check in. Typical character building with wonky creaky floors but loads of charm. A bit cold in the room at first but soon warmed up with the heater. Lovely amenities and a great bathroom too. Good pub food for dinner, breakfast was OK (hard boiled poached eggs will always get a point deducted I’m afraid). Will definitely stay again though.

Don’t go on Friday

Breakfast was great and room was fine but the noise was terrible. Incredibly loud music right underneath the room until gone 11pm. Expensive concert considering that but might be better if you avoid Friday nights.

A éviter absolument

A notre grande surprise, la chambre ne possède ni salle de bain ni wc privatifs ce qui n'est précisé nulle part dans l'offre de réservation. il y a une salle de bain "familiale" (avec produits de douche entamés) sur le palier. l'entrée de l'hôtel se fait par un pub et si celui-ci est fermé, l'accès et la sortie de l'hôtel se fait par la porte de secours!!! la chambre est plutôt vieillotte avec une moquette abîmée. Le soir (et ce tous les soirs de la semaine a priori), un groupe de rock se prduit dans le pub, la scène étant sous les chambres. notre lit vibrait au son de la musique!!! Pour terminer, heureusement que nous sommes en bonne santé et que nous avions payé d'avance car le matin, nous étions enfermés dans l'hotel. nous avons du laisser la cléf sur la porte de la chambre, sortir par la sortie de secours et enjamber une barrière car tous les accès vers l'exétieur étaients fermés!

Past its best and poor value

I didn't know places like this existed outside the 1960s. Shabby, neglected and well below the standards travellers expect in modern Britain. Cramped room equipped with broken items of furniture. Lighting to fire escape landing, which also served as an alternative access route, not working - fluorescent tubes missing from fitting. Shared bathroom/loo inadequate for no of rooms - and no hot water in loo washbasin. Might have been less to complain about if rate about half of what we paid for triple room for the night, but rate charges was conspicuously poor value. Well located in town centre so could be perfectly good, but requires major investment -- including double glazing to street so occupants not woken every hour by bell in clock tower opposite.

You need to understand that this isn't a notel

The White Horse is actually a pub that has some rooms it rents out. Pub itself is very tired and 1980s style, although it clearly has its regulars and it is these to whom the pub caters. Landlord is very friendly and helpful, but bar staff is uninterested in non-regulars. There was no 2 pin socket in the room and when I asked the barman if an adaptor could be located he said "They won't have one". I requested that he ask the landlord, who produced one immediately. The room was very tatty, and there was no back to wardrobe, which made it sway precariously. TV plug had a PAT testing date of 2007. Towels in bathroom had holes in and the Bathmats were stained. The room was clean, however, and relatively cheap. Perhaps this shouldn't be advertised as a hotel, though?

A disappointing visit

I turned up to book in at 1500hrs and asked were to park as the booking specified free parking, I was told that the hotel did not have a car park and to use the public car park which was only free between 1800hrs and 0800hrs, so I ended up paying for parking. Next I asked about breakfast, again the booking stated breakfast cost an extra £7.00, I was told that the hotel did not do breakfast!!! Rooms were not clean and in dire need of redecoration

Welcome back to the seventies!

We only booked for the night as we were having our office party in Maldon. We were surprised how poor and shabby looking the room was. To be told the heating wasn't working in the room but they plugged in an electric radiator. We had to walk across the corridor past other rooms for the bathroom. We both thought these days hotel rooms would be ensuite, never imagined they wouldn't be! The shower kept going cold, so all in all not impressed at all.

Single and up for party, yes go there

This hotel is on top of a pub. There is loud music until 12am in the morning. So unable to sleep. No comsideration for occupants in the hotel. If you are single and up for party, that is the spot. Good point is near a high street. Bad point , parking is difficult to find

blacklisted by Maldon tourist information!

Lousy furniture (obtained from roadside mostly) , painful mattress, no ventilation except window by very noisy roadside. We left one day early - no refund -, and it took us two days to recover. We tried to discuss the situation with the boss, but he appears to be in it for the money only. Shameless guy. We suggest Expedia to consult local tourist information before admitting hotels like this to their list, because this harms your reputation!!!
