We have stayed in this Hotel several times over the last 25 years, the last time being about 10 years ago.
This resent visit proved to be the best by far, lots of renovation to a very good standard. It is a classic Victorian Hotel with lots "of the time" features. We were in room number 7 which is on the top floor, so lots of stairs to climb as there was not a lift, a lift would have been totally out of character, so if you can't do the stairs book a ground floor room.
The bed was comfortable, tea and coffee in the room, the view was ok and WiFi was there, The breakfast was good and nothing was too much trouble for Debi who managed the place.
The location was within walking distance of all the facilities you would ever want to use - what more can I say, our next stay in Southend will be here.
Parking is a bit of a pain but it's doable, you can park for free outside the hotel from 6pm to 9am so this is a plus.
Thanks to the staff.

A great two night stay!

My sister and I spent one night, Friday 31st August 2012. On entering there was a distinct musty smell. We were given our key and told where Room 2 (twin bedded room with a garden view) was. As we went into the room yet again the musty smell was terrible. The room was dirty, the curtains, not only dirty but with cigarette burns in them. The 'garden view' was only visible by standing on the bed and straining your neck to see a very small section of the garden. But the worst thing was the bathroom, the shower tray was covered in brown stains, the shower head was black, needless to say neither of us had a shower and had to make do with the tiny hand basin to wash ourselves. The staff were friendly, the breakfast ok and the bed linen clean, but if we hadn't paid upfront there is no way we would have stayed. Please, please don't make the same mistake as us!

Do not stay at the Terrace Hotel!

Went back again to the Terrace this year and took a friend, both our rooms were Nice, clean & comfortable and we had no problems at all with them.  I am very fussy about clean beds,  bathroom and toilets and found everything spotless.Very good breakfast nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who are friendly and helpfull, If going back to Southend next year i certainly would book into the Terrace again. Really enjoyed my break and with no problems with the accomodation it made it perfect.

Great value for money, couldnt have asked for more!

Great Break

I only stayed here one night in October 2011 having attended a wedding down the road near Rayleigh 

As 90% of my time here was sleeping, I can only be quite brief and say that my only criticism was the shower would not stay in its holder properly! Eventually I managed to balance it sufficiently to tolerate!

If these little foibles irritate you then guest houses maybe aren't the place for you to be staying. However, for a tired traveller to put his head down for the night (I had been on the road for much of the week but staying at friends or family all nights but this one) I could not complain at less than £30 on a Saturday night!

N.B. the parking outside seemed relatively secure and is free from around 8pm on Saturday until 11am on Sunday. 

I would consider the Terrace if and when in Southend again, but also look at Travelodges and Premier Inns nearby of which there seem to be several driving up the A127 from the M25

Great for a night, especially a Saturday night just after a wedding!

Stayed here 1 night, very good location , reasonably priced, staff friendly breakfast good, no complaints. The hotel does need updating, but nevertheless was clean and had no problems. Very quiet also.
