within easy reach of the town and casino. rooms are comfortable with a bath shower and hairdryer. also have tea and coffee making facilities, and a telly with a good reception. there is an internet facility in the main bar. all the staff are friendly and very accomodating
the only slight downside is that the rooms could do with a bit of redecoration. they are looking tired. 
The rooms I have been allocated have been clean and comfortable - side sea view and everything I required. Very adequate breakfast.
This is not a dislike but would have liked a few more tea bags!!!! 
Adequate and clean 
Attention to detail - ie Only 2 cups provided when there were three of us sharing the room. Only two sets of towels provided.
Comfortable, clean, large room, good views, large bathroom, good decor.
Nothing
The previous day I called to confirm my reservation and to request a sea-view room, if possible. Fortunately the staff kindly obliged and the view from our room was exquisite! Also, the breakfast buffet was very rich. 
I found it a bit difficult to operate the power shower (got burns at first and frost bites right after...!), but I finally figured it out and had a pleasant shower.
Warm, comfortable, well positioned 
sky tv in the rooms would be a nice bonus
The accomodation, was clean and tidy, and well maintained with refreshments. The hotel staff were very pleasant and efficient in their jobs of making sure all guests were comfortable and happy.
We were most impressed with the room which was bright, airy and very clean. For the price we paid we thought it was excellent value and will definitely use the Camelia hotel again the next time we're in Southend.
Breakfast was a little uninspiring.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel. I was attending my uncle's funeral and it was close to my relatives' house
The Westcliff Hotel has clean rooms, helpful staff, good order throughout, lift to all floors (although quite small). Tea making facilities in room and generous with helpings. Good lounge area to sit in the evenings. No car park only the road where cars park both sides so cars were not that safe, so parking in side roads is recommended. Very close to biggest casino in Southend, Westcliff Casino, 4 minutes walk and next to the biggest theatre and concerts show the Cliffs Pavillion. 
They let themselves down with the staffing of the bar at night with only one person serving and the bar was packed as there was a wedding there. Having said that I would recommend this hotel to my friends. 
Overall the second time I have stayed here and in both occassions the Hotel has been not only fully booked during my stay but for weeks ahead. this in its self has to say something for the Hotel and the fact I came back and would have re-booked had I been able to get in. The centre of Southend is only 5 minutes stroll along the coastal path with views across the estuary and pier. The surprise is that there are not many good eating places in Southend that I could find, but then maybe I did not look in the right places. It was also very quiet for a tourist town considering it was the end of June when I was there so was uncrowded and easy to get about.
Ilfracombe House Hotel - Southend on Sea
Overall the Ilfracombe House Hotel is an excellent hotel, clean & exactly as described on the website. Breakfast was excellent, you could help yourself to a cooked buffet breakfast & it was open for as long as you wanted basically, that did appeal to us. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone it was excellent & indeed value for money. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was near Southend seafront and within easy walking distance of the town centre. Room facilities were good. Nice comfortable bar area. For me this is the best hotel in Southend-on-Sea and I recommend it.
