I stayed at the Pier for a couple of nights during a business meeting and was very glad with the quality of the accomodation and the location of the hotel. Breakfast was ok, not fantastic but reasonable (extra fee for cooked breakfast, you need to ask for cheese, ham and bread as these are not available in the buffet, the... More

Six of us (friends/couples) descended on the Pier to celebrate a birthday. It is the second time we have stayed, starting with lunch, ending with dinner and an overnight stay. On our first stay we were accommodated in the annexe and this time in the main building. In both buildings the standard of the rooms are as good as they... More

We have just returned from a great weekend stay at The Pier in Harwich. Travelling as a group of 7 people (including elderly grandparents and two children under 6 years of age) the hotel managed to cater for us all brilliantly. We stayed in The Mayflower Suite ( v. spacious, elegant room with wonderful views of the harbour) and rooms... More

Having stayed at The Pier a number of times in recent years I thought it was time to give it the praise it deserves, especially as recently there have been some staff changes including a new head chef; none of which have dented or detracted from it's well deserved reputation. The combination of comfortable rooms, a choice of two restaurants... More

...lovely room and very comfortable, great decor in public areas, room very warm in the depths of winter. The walls are a little bit thin so some disturbance from neighbouring guests and while the continental breakfast is good, the choice is a little limited. Bistro food is excellent, staff friendly and helpful and perfect location in town. Agree with previous... More

We ate here and I was very impressed with the food and wine. Lots of waiting staff ready to serve you, nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful venue and views. I will definitely return soon. More

I urgently had to get in touch with my husband who was staying at the hotel just for one night. It was close to midnight but there was no other way to contact him. The man who answered fumbled with the handset and sounded as if he had been sleeping. I was trying to ask to be put through to... More

My hubby and I went for a short romantic break here a few days ago. The hotel is full of character, very clean and had helpful staff. The linen and towels are big and fluffy, and the toiletries are good. The room was attractive and a good size. However, our room was right at the top of the building and... More

My husband and I have just spent the night at the Pier and it was a really fantastic experience. The welcome was very warm and the staff were attentive and friendly throughout our stay, both at reception and in the restaurant. We were staying on a DBB basis and ate in the Harbourside restaurant, where the food was first class.... More
