For the price ..£78 and an extra £25 for early check in is a joke ...the quality was not good and the whole place needs refurbishment...2 tea bags and 2 tiny towels ...a lick of paint would cost nothing

Convenient, but with limitations.

Reception was friendly and check-in quick. The room itself was fine, although the bed sheets did have a strange aroma, almost like smoke! I stayed for 3 nights and the first two (Friday and Saturday) there was a lot of noise from neighbouring guests, going on until 3 in the morning! The location was convenient for the visits I needed to make, but you do need a car! Only food available was a nearby service station or delivered takeaway. Having said all that, I would probably use it again in the future.

This basic type hotel seems to be just starting up? I expect it will be much better in the future. Staff are very nice and seemed very enthusiastic Bathroom very nice in the room I was in, which was small but nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable. On the downside it was thick with building dust which I cleaned from the air as well as the surfaces before I could sleep there - this was back in March 2025. They seemed to welcome my suggestion that they next get a good cleaner. I hope they did. Paper thin walls.

Room was ok with a comfy bed and decent en-suite. Decor was not good and everything was very basic. As renovation work is under way it was a bit of a strange environment. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful but there were not many people around. No restaurant facilities at present.

Rivenhall in need of a lift

This hotel was just a two night wedding stay so didn't need to be great. Price suggested it wouldn't be. It is a bit run down trying to get back on its feet. Staff were as helpful as they could be. No restaurant so no breakfast. A lot of the rooms not in service it appears. Room wasn't serviced between days. So did it's job at the basic end, nothing more.
