I didn't have breakfast. Probably my own fault but as the hotel backed on to the river I assumed somewhere outside would have river access to sit which it didn't. It did have seating at the front, but view was of industrial buildings. The staff were excellent, very helpful and my room although a little small was very comfortable and clean.

I stayed Tuesday and Wednesday, unfortunately the restaurant didn't open on Tuesdays and the bar closed at 9pm, however they did tell me the night person would have got a drink if I needed one later but not the same as sitting somewhere pleasant reading my book with a glass of wine. Its not a complaint really just it would have been nice......

I would like to send out a personal thank you to Claire who helped us with everything from check-in to check-out. We arrived quite early but she showed us around the hotel and looked after our luggage, and even took it up to our room for us whilst we were out. The room was of a good size and the decor was pretty. There were 2 electric fans which was much appreciated given the hot weather. We had a lovely stay! Would definitely stay there again next time we are in Maldon.

We don't have any specific negatives. The only unfortunate aspect, which obviously cannot be helped given the building structure, was that the window was very small, but we had the fans so it was fine!

I had stayed at Le Bouchon Brasserie & Hotel as a female travelling alone for a friends wedding for 1 night and couldn't have had a better experience. The hotel was perfect, ideal location, clean and boutique style rooms, free parking, and the breakfast was great and had alot of options! Worth every penny. What made it for me was the staff. From the night porter, to the receptionist and manager, everyone was incredibly kind to me and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you to all staff there! If I were to visit Essex again I would make sure to stay here.

Wonderful staff, gorgeous breakfast, beautiful presentation of hotel. Loved the top up station for room drinks etc. gorgeous duvet and very comfortable bed. One of our rooms was upgraded so that we could be near each other as they noticed the rooms had the same surname. Thank you for your care.

The room was cold, but whilst the radiator didn’t work there was a warm air fan to use. There was no surface in the bathroom to put wash bags or any clothing. There was no full length hanging rail for skirts , coats or dresses.

Upon entering the hotel and checking in, another customer came to reception and said how much they enjoyed their stay and said overall it was 10 out 10. Which was great to hear before i even paid for our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and the staff were very friendly. And helpful...i lost my ankle bracelet in the room somewhere and within the hour of leaving they found my bracelet and send they would kindly send it to me in the post. Me and my husband have said we would love to come again but have a meal as well.

The style and decor of the hotel The staff and how friendly and super efficient they were The food This hotel is an absolute gem. From the exceptionally warm and friendly greeting on our arrival (you have a real star in Claire - she is fantastic 🤩) to all of the friendly, super efficient staff (must mention Amy too - another credit to you) Our room was beautiful and very comfortable (No.8) I booked the restaurant for a celebration meal in the evening and although the whole place was very busy, the quality of the food, service and attention to detail was perfect. Great atmosphere too!

I cannot find one thing that I didn't like about this little gem 😊

Beautifully presented, excellent staff, well-judged food offerings, quality bathroom fittings and bedding, and wonderfully over-the-top non-tacky Christmas decorations!

The standard double room was too small for two people; the bed was up against the wall, there was only one chair and one bedside locker and light and the clothes hanging had no-where for a dress to hang. It was acceptable for one night but I will pick a classic room next time.

We stayed the night as my daughter had a celebrant wedding service with 24 guests and meal after. It was the first time Le Bouchon had offered this service and the whole day was perfect. The staff from the day of booking and on the day were all excellent, thank you to Claire, James and Henry for making a special day even more special. Thanks also to the chefs who prepared a superb three course meal which was first class.

Nothing everything was great

Really Great staff. Lovely food and atmosphere. Clean and tidy.

We had a deluxe room that had tea and coffee facilities on the dresser where the plugs were. The mirror was on another chest of drawers with no plugs. This meant I had to swop everything around for my partner to do her hair etc, not well thought out at all. Then swop it back to make tea and then swop it back for her again to get ready in the morning. Just not very “Deluxe”

Such lovely and attentive staff. Lovely boutique hotel and beautiful rooms .We stayed and attended a wedding at vaulty Manor. We were phoned a few days prior to check in to ask if we required a dinner reservation at the brasserie, which i thought was really nice.Dropped our car off at 3 pm. and checked in , and the receptionist had been trying to arrange for a cab to return for the night. When they all said they were busy.. the restaurant manager Antonio insisted on taking us to the venue himself.The hotel couldn't do more for you. Will definitely be returning .

If I had to be super picky. The room was a little hot.A fan was provided, but it was a very tiny stand-up fan, which was broken, so it would constantly be set to swivel.
