About this hotel
Camelia Hotel Southend carries a 9.4 out of 10 rating built on cozy rooms, some with genuine sea views, and beach access that puts the sand within easy reach rather than a taxi ride away. The pet-friendly policy is a real option for travellers bringing an animal along, and room service covers evenings that run late after a delayed flight. Breakfast is available as a paid extra rather than included, and the on-site bar and restaurant handle other meals without needing to travel. Camelia Restaurant itself is a minute away on foot, and Adventure Island is a four-minute taxi ride for families with time to fill. The property is smoke-free throughout.

Our take
Beach access, sea-view rooms and a 9.4 score from more than 1,100 reviews make the Camelia Hotel Southend a standout three-star near London Southend Airport. The restaurant and room service keep evenings simple, pets are accepted, and Adventure Island is four minutes away by taxi. I recommend it for families and pet owners who want a relaxed seaside stop rather than a functional airport room.
- Request a sea-view room specifically when booking, not every room in the property faces that side.
- Factor in the cost of breakfast when comparing rates, it is a paid extra here rather than included.
- Mention any pets when booking so the hotel can allocate an appropriate room in advance.

Why guests love itI like the Camelia Hotel Southend for families who want a seaside night before a London Southend flight. The hotel has beach access, and some of the cosy rooms have sea views, which children tend to remember. Adventure Island is four minutes away by taxi, a good plan for an afternoon. There is a restaurant and room service, and pets are welcome. The 9.4 score from more than 1,100 reviews is a strong sign for a three-star hotel.
