Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Esplanade Hotel offers guests bright and airy rooms, with some even boasting sea views and comfortable corner sofas. Many find the breakfast excellent and the food well-presented. Situated across from Clacton Beach, the hotel provides a great location, though some guests have noted that the bathroom shower can feel a bit small. For some, the unexpected Reggae event was a fun surprise, and it's appreciated that dogs are welcome in the bar.
