“Roydon Marina Village Hotel provides a surprisingly tranquil escape, set against the backdrop of a working marina. The accommodation is modern, clean, and well-equipped, making it a comfortable base. The on-site Indian restaurant tempts, though service can be variable, and the Boathouse offers good value, but with occasional service hiccups, suggesting a charming, evolving experience.”

the staff were so friendly upon my arrival, i really appreciated that. all the facilities were very clean and tidy, a huge plus for me! my room was very bright and looked wonderful when i first opened the door, i was so happy!

unfortunately, the curtains let in too much light, it really affected my sleep! the emergency light stayed on all night inside the room, i found it very difficult to sleep. the bed really needs replacing, the springs had gone, it wasn't comfortable at all.
