I found myself in a tricky situation towards the end of Covid lockdown, I checked in Marlvin lodge, 
The staff are worm and welcoming and very helpful 
The room was large and fitted with everything I needed 
I stayed for over a month with no problems 
Although if I had a problem, reception would sort it strait away.
The guest house is situated 1 min walk to the beach and 20 second walk to the train station 
If I ever needed a room again this would be my first port of call 
Many thanks to the guest house!

decor a little tired but all there for an overnight stay, on site parking and receptionist was polite and very helpful keeping an eye on my motorcycle which impressed me. 500m from the beach and an easy stroll along the seafront to the pier and town centre

cheap and cheerful

I found myself needing to stay the night when working in Southend. 
I booked through booking.com which had average reviews then I read the reviews here and thought I may have made a mistake. 
Ignore all of the above nonsense  - it's clearly been written by people who expect far more than they're going to get from a budget guest house.
My room was warm, the bedding was clean and the shower functioned fine.
I paid £30 for a room. Was given a double and was able to get to sleep fine. No noise, no smells and no filth. 
Probably not great if you are having a night away with your partner but if all you want is a basic room this more than meets the needs.
And it does have a car park.

I don't see what the fuss is about

The room was clean but room very dated furniture needs replacing and only 1 light bulb working in the ceiling light and to top it off went to make a cup of tea in the morning there was no sugar and no milk

Very dated

Where to start? In the last week alone, there is the usual crack addled crowd outside. One regular tenant is usually seen wandering outside alone, starting fights/arguments with imaginary people, and will also call out to the local residents demanding he gives them ‘just a couple of drags’ on their cigarette, and ‘not to worry about the coronavirus or none of that sh1t, just throw it over here before you’re done’. If you politely decline, he’ll repeatedly call you a see you next Tuesday and then continue fighting the people in his head.

Also this week, there has been one female resident who was calling everyone a see you next Tuesday whilst walking along the road, when someone objected to this behaviour through their front window, she continued to hurl abuse and goad them, at which point she decided to pour her can of nuclear strength lager over their car. Although it wasn’t their car, it was their neighbour’s car. When he complained about this, she maintained her torrent of abuse and repeatedly yelled at him to ‘forking hit me then you see you next Tuesday’. This woman then walked off towards the lodge, couldn’t get back in so decided to continue hurling abuse at anyone who goes past and then break the windows on the front door before staggering off. It’s also worth mentioning that this woman was also only wearing one shoe. 

And the piece de resistance, was this Wednesday 27th May. I’m still not overly sure what happened, although there were 7 police cars that came speeding to the building, stopped and quickly got out their cars. These were armed police. They had their battering ram (which they didn’t have to use) and sniffer dogs. They entered the building, dragged one woman out, cuffed her and took her away. If anyone thinks I’m exaggerating, I have video evidence of the whole event and will happily share if required.

So, you have been warned. You may think I’m just an angry guy on the internet, and choose to ignore me, and that’s fine. Just give this review a thumbs up when you find out about it after your stay.

Do not, under any circumstances, go here

Stayed here with my partner last night 19/02/2020 and will not stay again. Yes rooms very big bathroom so small for a family room. As for the beds yes comfortable but me and my partner got bitten to bits by bed bugs. Couldn’t speak to anyone as there was no one around this morning when we left. It’s a nice location but needs a lot of work doing to it. It could be a very nice hotel

Not great at all not worth the money

This is definitely NOT 3 star, our family room had sockets that didn't work, trailing wires hanging in front of the wardrobe, unable to move as wire too short. Shabby decor, dust coated surfaces. The walls must be made of plaster board they are so thin (see below). The sheets were clean we could tell as the had the washing line mark so unironed. The room across the corridor partied till 3am; the room upstairs argued at 3.30am then 'banged the headboard against the wall'  till 4am, their baby started screaming as loud as she did at 4am.  Just stay somewhere else!!!!

DONT STAY

No parking ! , looked very run down on outside, got in to our room, and was shocked, the double bed was broken, bedding dirty, on suite so small, mouldy and smelt, mouse in the room, moved single bed to find so much dirt and months of other people’s rubbish that had dust on it so been there months, the smell of smoke and drugs through out the night but yet no smoking !!!, no one on site to report to, so noisy, this place shouldn’t be aloud to trade let alone a crackhouse, will never return again, i ran out of there as fast as I can in the morning, pictures are nothing like it is now old dirty run down s*** whole, waste of money and nice weekend made in to a nightmare

Don’t stay here

Stayed here with some friends, after we left they took £100 from my bank accusing us of breaking a light in which we didn't.
It's an ongoing thing and If I were you reading this considering staying here because of the bargain price. Do not give a single penny to these conmen.

Thief. Do not stay here

We lasted an hour and then booked a Travelodge. The room was filthy, a dodgy deal happened outside our room, dirty socks in the room which stank and enough pubic hair to look like a mass shaving job had happened. 

Do not stay here.
