OYO The Rivenhall Hotel

Business Trip Perfect for a Business Trip, No Fuss, Friendly Staff, Parking, Wifi.

Closings down The room was like a furnace, the shower had a trickle of water, windows hardly opened

Very poor Hotel in total need of a update Room drab. Bed mattress you could feel all the springs, completely uncomfortable. Would definitely not recommend

Staff were very friendly & helpful. Although I would suggest they have more than 1 member of staff on at night time. Room, although outdated, was clean enough. Beds were uncomfortable and the noise of the doors opening/closing was a bit to much. But it’s a nice quirky little hidden gem.

Although this 'hotel' (more like a motel) is situated on the main A12 dual carriageway, the rooms are so peaceful and quiet. So relaxing. I have stayed here previously and it was the same then. You can park your car near to where your room is situated. My room was large, with a really comfortable double bed, two chairs, an easy to use TV and a very nice, modern shower room, all at a good price. What a pity they do not offer breakfast!

We had 5 double rooms at The Rivenhall Hotel for our family group to attend a wedding locally. We were a little disappointed to be informed by the hotel that the restaurant wouldn’t be open but they gave us plenty of notice. On checking out their website after we’d booked we were alarmed to read that the hotel was closing down completely. I called them and spoke to a very helpful receptionist who assured me that we had the ‘500’ rooms and these were the better rooms in the hotel. And so they were! They were comfortable, clean and had all we needed for our two night stay. Two rooms even had air conditioning. We were able to park our cars close to the rooms. Parking and WiFi were free of charge. It is true that the gardens are now somewhat overgrown and look a little uncared for but the staff were excellent and a credit to the hotel. Although the restaurant was closed there was a table in reception where plates and utensils were available for guests if they wanted to order a takeaway meal. With money spent to update some of the rooms I would have thought that the hotel could once again become a thriving enterprise.
