“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 receptionist was cute and obliging! the room was super clean with a good sized TV and French windows. I liked having a table and chairs in the garden. We enjoyed a fabulous Indian meal in the on sight Indian restaurant.
The curtains let in far too much light. though the emergency light inside the room stayed on all night.

The location allows great access to London via the nearby station. The restaurant provided basic food. Staff were friendly and polite, and the rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels provided.
The hotel seemed a bit dated in the unrenovated rooms.
