"Stayed here for a wedding in a nearby town. The hotel check in was really easy. As I was staying in the annex which isn't attached to the property I had to pay a small deposit for my room key. I was able to pay in cash for this but aside from this the hotel is card only. The room was clean and a decent size and the shower was excellent. I was traveling to London the next day for work and it's very easy to get to the train station."

From rock and roll at the V Festival to the rolling hills of the nearby Chilterns, there's plenty to enjoy when you stay at Premier Inn Hotel Chelmsford Boreham. We're in London's commuter belt too, so this is a great place to do business as well as pleasure. See huge butterflies take flight at Tropical Wings or flutter about the shops at Freeport Fleetwood outlet village. Garden lovers flock to nearby RHS Garden Hyde Hall, and Colchester Zoo is a must-see for the children too. Great food at our restaurant awaits you back at the hotel, as well as a lovely comfy bed.
