The Thurrock Hotel is located in the town of Aveley, a part of Essex to the east of London. Whilst not in the centre of London and therefore perhaps less ideal for those whose sole concern is to visit all the main London attractions, the hotel offers easy access to the business district of the Docklands, with Fenchurch Street train station a short distance away. The local town centre has plenty of shops, cafés and bars to explore, with the nearby towns of Thurrock, Grays, Tilbury and Dartford a short drive away. Nearby things to do include Lakeside and Bluewater shopping centres, the seaside town of Southend, racing circuits Brands Hatch and Arena Essex and the historic Audley End House or Hylands House. The hotel is best recommended to those who will have use of a car.
The hotel is an ideal conference venue due to its proximity to central London, with 10 variously sized meeting rooms that can be adapted to suite different events. The largest can accommodate up to 300 delegates, and all rooms benefit from free WiFi access, faxing and photocopying facilities and conference staff. WiFi is available throughout the hotel building for all hotel residents. The 24 hour reception can also organise laundry and dry cleaning services upon demand, and there is a pretty patio and courtyard garden to unwind in at the close of the day.
Free parking is available on-site for all hotel guests.
The Thurrock Hotel Aveley is composed of 70 ensuite bedrooms, available as double, twin or family occupancy. Each room shares a comfortable and modern aesthetic, with homely furnishings, a simple colour scheme and a range of practical amenities to make your stay as pleasurable as possible. Facilities included in each room include satellite television, free WiFi access, complimentary toiletries, telephone and tea and coffee maker. All rooms are extremely spacious and far exceed the sizes you can expect from a 3 star hotel in central London.
The Thurrock Hotel Aveley has its own restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The venue is a cosy and traditional eatery serving hearty and delicious British cuisine in an informal atmosphere, with local produce being used where possible. There is a good value Sunday lunch carvery to end the week in style. Alternatively, there are dining and drinking options in the local town centre and beyond.
