The room had no window ,lucky we got upgraded and had a en-suite that had a window we could leave ajar for some air.  Will never stay again.  Bar had little to drink other than beer.
The area bring the beer garden that we had to walk through was disgusting with rubbish everywhere and bins overflowing.  We only stayed as needed to get early ferry.  Car also had to be parked on road.

Would not stay again

One of the two guys on the staff was really rude and unhelpful. I slept in a single room which had no bedside table, no wardrobe and no hangers. The impression was really bad. For someone who travels by bike like me, the place they make available to you is not safe. I don't recommend it at all.

Bad experience at Fryatt Hotel and Bar.

We just been to Fryatt hotel and bar Harwich the confirmation says check in 2:30 we arrived 2:33 and bar manager went no come back it’s 3pm check in so my husband and I had to sit in car 30plus degrees heat and wait half hour, he had no people skill he could of said sorry we don’t do check in till 3pm but your welcome to stay in bar area and have a drink while you wait,
Our room was disgusting never cleaned or hoovered in ages the bathroom was filthy never cleaned in ages there was no toilet roll my husband went to ask and found store room open and took toilet roll, you couldn’t see out shower screens as they were filthy as of shower so we didn’t use shower the sink filthy they had small bin in toilet that wasn’t emptied, the kettle had water marks all over it and dust we didn’t even use it as filthy and no bin in room to put your rubbish in, there was dust and bits rubbish all over the carpet where it’s had never been hovered the sheets and pillow had dust on them I have never seen such a dirty room it says free Wi-Fi but was no Wi-Fi code written down in room or given to us my husband had to go down to bar and ask for code, I wanted to leave but my husband was to tired to drive back home I couldn’t wait for the morning we left at 7:30am

Worst place I’ve ever stayed in

I cannot understand how this place has any good reviews after what I have just experienced. I was only booked in to stay one night but I couldn’t even manage that. 

As soon as I got to my room I was greeted by an awful smell like old food and sweat and then it didn’t take long for me to see that the room has clearly never had a good clean. There were crumbs and food inside the bed and on the floor, crushed dead insects and thick layers of dust everywhere but this wasn’t even the worst of it. The bathroom was absolutely horrendous. The toilet was disgusting inside and out with urine stains running down it. Again, there was a thick layer of dust over everything and there were blobs of what could have been soap (I hope) on the floor with pubic hair in it. Then the shower… wow… it was yellowed and covered in more hair and thick layers of dust and grime and was just absolutely rancid. Not a hope in hell I was going to stay there so I had to make alternative arrangements which was really frustrating. DO NOT STAY HERE! 

DO NO STAY HERE!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID! this is the worst place ever! we booked ground floor, no steps or stairs, even ground floor had steps! this is managed by just one young man, who is not very well trained, we could not get any help with anything, if this is a pub, where is the drink? not even a glass off white wine for me! my room was very clean and was obviously very new, they have turned the function room into rooms, so my room was next door to the pub, with a boarded up door, which used to be straight through to the pub, so no sleep for us! at 8 am, having had not much sleep, on came the loud music again, we tried to find a member of staff, but he was no where to be found! there is no chairs in the rooms, and no where to sit to do make up or hair, no shelves in the bathroom, and the blinds dont open for light! this place is owned by SYRYA, they need to be sorting this out! we packed and left, there is no where to leave your room key, we were told to leave it in the room! they have no food facilities here either. when we left, there was another couple, who were very angry, they didnt get any sleep either! they left, as they could not find anyone to deal with their complaint. Dreadful place
DO NOT WSTE YOUR MONEY! GO ELSEWHERE

DO NOT PART WITH YOUR MONEY

Like the last person to review, I got bitten by bed bugs!! The hotel obviously knows about this problem, but chooses not to act!! I’m pretty sure they could fumigate & eradicate the problem in 1 day!
I went despite the review I’d seen because honestly was hoping it wasn’t true & knew the stay was non refundable.
I’m really very upset & putting in a complaint with booking.com
Avoid at all costs!!

Bed bugs!!

Stayed four nights. The bed was made well but the room was not cleaned. Carpet needed hoovering, skid marks in the toilet and dirty floors and shelves. Got feasted on by Bed Bugs over the stay and am now trying not to scratch various areas, although the shower was good. The Breakfast was dysfunctional and you were lucky if there was any coffee left let alone a working kettle to make the tea or water to refill. Finding a member of staff is very hit and miss although when we did they were polite but slightly detached from the situation. Although in fairness they were probably there just to clean..our room must have been off the rota. We were actually locked out on our last day so had to keep banging on the doors and windows until a fellow guest let us in. I enjoyed Harwich and the surrounding area but would not recommend staying here unless you're not bothered about cleanliness and just staying overnight while travelling.

Sleep tight and the Bed Bugs did bite

We had a great family stay. Booked into Cottage 2. Really clean and comfortable, upstairs room is really nice. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small lounge. We had a very nice continental breakfast in the bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Could not fault our stay. Very good value for money.

Great nights stay

We booked a ''Superior Cottage" at the Fryatt Hotel for a one night stay for 4 adults to give us a short break on the coast and this did the job very well. The Cottage has an airy and spacious upstairs en-suite bedroom with a double bed, a good sized twin bedroom downstairs with a very narrow 'living area' containing a sofa, TV and tea\coffee making facilities and with a second bathroom adjoining. Booking in was very easy and staff were all very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was very clean and well presented. I had one slight concern that the cottage door opens out into a patio area where there are tables for pub customers to drink outside and potentially there might be some noise, but while we were there the area was not heavily used and no-one was out there in the evening. (I think it is just the one cottage that is located in this way).  When we visited in July 2021 the continental breakfast was served inside the pub. It was perfectly fine as a basic breakfast (toast, croissants, tea, coffee, etc). Parking is located behind the pub. Location wise, it is about a 10-15minute walk from a couple of supermarkets and fast food options. We wanted to spend time in Dovercourt and the centre of Harwich (Quay area) which would have been about a 45minute walk, but for our short stay we tended to drive and park closer to those places. For the price we paid for four adults to stay there in July it was very good value. I would happily stay there again in the future. 

Good value and comfortable stay

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in within the UK. Barman to check me in was friendly but that’s the only positive. Room was classed as superior cottage and if that’s the case I hate to think what the standard rooms would be like, cold, smelt damp, grubby, mismatched furniture, overlooking back yard that was open to anyone. Woken up before 6am by noise from yard behind. This corner of Harwich was not nice, think a TV production could recreate 1970s Britain with very little staging! 

Suggest you avoid.
