Bull Hotel By Greene King Inns Halstead , Halstead (Essex)

The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Halstead, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms, despite being cramped and lacking natural ventilation with a non-functional extraction system, had amenities like ample towels and toiletries. The service was rushed due to busy staff, but the evening team provided adequate customer service. The dining options were varied with a wide selection at the help-yourself bar. My stay was marred by a strange smell pervading the upper floors, possibly from downstairs public areas. The location felt safe and quiet, close to the theater and ideal for attending events like weddings at Gosfield Hall.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location in the town center, not far from Colchester Zoo. The rooms, though small, are full of character but may be noisy as they are above the bar. The service is friendly, with some delays in attending to requests. Dining options are varied but could be better in terms of cleanliness and toast service. Overall, it offers a good value for the price with a historical charm but in need of a deep clean in certain areas.

The hotel had a good location with off-street parking being a bonus. The rooms were in a dire need of refurbishment, and the decor was not to my taste. The service was a bit inconsistent with attentive moments but also some delays. The dining experience was good, and the staff were accommodating. Some areas required deep cleaning, affecting the overall cleanliness of the property.
