Parking is very limited. Rooms were dark and small and in need of renovation. The bathroom was freezing and extremely small. There was no hot water. The breakfast was nice and the staff were lovely.

This is a lovely boutique hotel with quirky rooms and decor situated in a lovely little town with some lovely little shops and cafes . We especially loved Gail’s bakery ! The staff were very friendly and helpful but be Prepared for loud music and parties into the early hours as it’s a popular weekend and Christmas venue ! Would definitely stay there again !

A beautiful old hotel in the heart of Epping. The decor is really nice and the staff are warm and friendly. The room has everything you need and the bed is comfortable. The food (breakfast and dinner options) is exceptional. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A funky place!

The hotel provides a lovely space to spend time. The service was excellent with great food served in the room. We particularly liked breakfast being served AFTER 0900 allowing for a sleep in and relaxing morning to check out. A rare treat

Funky Monk Epping

Really lovely looking hotel inside. The decor is really inviting. Chic and cool and a bit quirky. Absolutely love it. The bar restaurant is very roomy as well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The manager or owner even offered to carry my heavy bag out to the taxi after storing it for me after checkout. My room wasn’t big, but I only had the standard one. Beautifully decorated though in the same quirky and comfortable vibe. I would definitely try this hotel again next time. It’s brilliantly positioned for the heart of Epping which was great as I had no transport. The one problem I had (which is why I didn’t give 5 stars was with the door key which you have to use to let yourself into the building at night as well as into your room. Luckily my key worked that night but stopped again first thing but i was able to find a lady cleaning who let me in again. Apparently this was an unusual problem which I’m sure they have sorted out already If definitely stay here again. Lovely people very helpful and kind. Breakfast in the restaurant was lovely 😻 .

Mixed feelings about this property! My room and bed was very comfortable, the towels were big and fluffy. The staff were lovely... however, the kitchen closed so we had to go elsewhere for dinner, and no staff was on hand when I awoke the next morning and had to hand in my key to the cleaning staff.

Breakfast served too late

The accommodation was lovely and the staff were friendly. However, I've given 4 stars as breakfast isn't served until 9am - we used the hotel for business purposes so a late breakfast was unsuitable, given the cost breakfast should have been available.

Rooms are very well appointed, comfortable food is great and the welcome is genuine and professional. One issue is the noise from the road, as the room I was in looked out over the high street, the traffic is pretty constant until late in the evening and starts up again very early in the morning. I believe because it is a very old building they are not permitted to change the windows but perhaps secondary glazing might be an option.
