The breakfast was superb. You could have anything from the continental selection plus anything from the cooked choices, made fresh for you. The continental breakfast included a range of fresh fruits such as strawberries and bluberries, which is unusual. You could walk to the harbour from the hotel in one minute.
The Fryatt Hotel & Bar is located between Harwich International Port and Harwich Town Station, 1.5 miles from the town centre. It features its own pub serving classic ales.

Clean and comfy bedrooms, newly refurbished. (Bit of a fresh paint smell) Staff helpful and safe parking in the beer garden for bicycles and motorcycles. The public areas need a refurb with new furniture to improve the first impressions. The location is excellent for the ferry (2 minutes drive) if a little uninspiring on first view. We've stayed before so knew what to expect. A locals bar so expect some rowdy singing and banter.
Featuring free WiFi and a restaurant, Alma Inn & Dining Rooms offers pet-friendly accommodation adjacent to The Pier in Harwich, 400 metres from the town centre. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Breakfast is great, homemade marmalade a real treat. Rooms have no keys, just access codes. Really lovely quirky property. I had to go out to work at 5am (came back for breakfast) and there's special door to use. Nice biscuits!

Really liked the decor and layout of the bedroom. Felt very comfortable and didn't take us long to settle!
Felt we had everything we needed, home well equipped. Nice and quiet, we were able to relax. A lovely bottle of bubbly, some milk and fresh fruit was an added bonus! Ohh and fresh towels. Super comfy bed and bedding 😁

Lovely clean house, nicely decorated a lovely home from home. Three good size bedrooms all with TV, kettle and enough sockets. The house was near the sea front and the shops.

Once you find your way around there is plenty to keep you busy and entertained. The town is steeped in maritime and political history, which is well documented at the museum, where entrance is modestly priced. Harwich and the adjoining Dovercourt are accessible on foot. There is a park for children to play in and stretches of sand; plus a promenade for families and mobility scooter users to enjoy the sea air. Buses do exist but you need to check the timetable. Trains from Harwich Town station run regularly. Taxis are easily booked. Parking is good. Solo travellers feel safe. There are several hotels, cafes and take-aways for eating, though opening hours need to be checked. You can book sea trips from the harbour. I recommend the town for adults and children alike.

We found Harwich to be clean and litter free. Easy and close access to shops, station, harbour, pier and places of interest. People were very polite and friendly. Nowhere was crowded, quite the opposite.

A fascinating town full of history and compact enough to amble around in comfort. Great views at the hotel and quayside and pleasing open spaces near the lighthouses. A great mix of old world charm and modern industry on the waterfront. We enjoyed the various museums and the redout fortification.

There is a range of attractions to suit all tastes. If you like history, there are self guided audio trails, museums devoted to the naval history and military signficance of the napoleonic and first and second world war. I came for the photographic opportunities, with massive container ships, sailing boats and the potential for glorious sunrises over the ocean. It does look a bit run down in places and I was a bit apprehensive, but everyone was very friendly, and I would sum it up as an unspoilt gem, from an earlier, more relaxed era.

Some lovely old buildings surrounded by industrial complexes. Every horizon you can’t avoid the super tank loading cranes and other industries.
If your a real ale fan, unfortunately there is very little. The Hanover burnt down so the owners opened a pop up beer shop near by. It was the only decent pint I could find. The Alma bar and rooms had an excellent atmosphere and food, but the beer is dreadful and expensive.
Property is exactly as pictured and very clean and cozy. Absolutely love the hotel-quality bedding and towels, made the stay feel so luxurious and great value for money. Although located at the port where there might not be as many activities, it is reasonably close to many attractions like Clacton Pier and Essex. Everyone in my family kept saying they would miss the place once we left and honestly we do! The games available also made the nights we spent more fun for us! Would love to stay again! Definitely highly recommend it!
A comfortable and roomy well modernised Victorian home with everything we needed for our time in Harwich. Nice to be just two minutes walk from the seafront and the off-road car parking space is useful. The area was very peaceful too. Great courtyard garden.
Everything was very good, from arrival to departure,
All the staff were very helpful and friendly,
