The hotel and bar were lovely; the only thing to mention was the live music in the bar was incredibly loud from the bedroom but if you don’t need an early night on Friday or Saturday it’s a lovely place to stay. By chance, I only interacted with Lily on the staff all weekend and she was attentive, accommodating and very friendly throughout my stay. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the funky monk. It’s a very convenient location with good access to the central line. The staff were very friendly. This is our new place to stay when we are in Essex.

Lovely room decor and staff!

We asked hotel to confirm we could have a parking space, they confirmed by email but neglected to mention it would cost £15. Check on was great, friendly person and helpful. Room was nice but metal clothes rack by bed didn’t leave much room and I bashed my knee on drawer knob. Venue was not great for sleep, they had very loud music until 01:15 an we did not sleep well as road was also loud from quite early. Breakfast was ok but staff were everywhere still cleaning up, kept walking past with cleaning products and hoovering and mopping while we were eating which wasn't very nice. Person that served us was nice but manager was nowhere to be found and didn’t appear for check out so having to leave feedback here. Would not recommend staying here on a weekend. Shame as could have been lovely.

Was all good

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Offered us a welcome drink which was lovely and we could use our rooms to drop our items as they had already been cleaned which was very helpful as we were in the area for a wedding. The amenities and room were great and bed was very comfortable. We were told that there would be live music until 11.30 and drinks available downstairs in the bar until 1pm but weren’t made aware of the loud music that would be playing which did continue until 1:30pm - we were staying on a Saturday night so am sure this wouldn’t be the case if staying on other days. We arrived back late from the wedding anyway but I wish we had been aware of this prior to booking as I had to stay awake for a good hour until the music was turned off. I would recommend staying here but if you don’t want to be involved in the late night music, it would be best to stay here outside of Friday and Saturday night.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing stay at the Funky Monk Epping Hotel and Restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a complimentary welcome drink, which was a lovely touch. The room was absolutely amazing; comfortable, stylish, and spotless. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome the entire time. The restaurant was outstanding, the food was unreal and easily one of the highlights of our stay. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. We couldn’t fault a thing. Highly recommend the Funky Monk for both accommodation and dining. We’ll definitely be back!

Cost room and friendly staff. Good dinner and fun music on Saturday night

I arrived at the Funky Monk at 4.45pm and the manager was very pleasant and told me that they had some live music that night. I jokingly said I hoped they provided earplugs. Having had a night out with friends I arrived back at the hotel around 11.30pm to be greeted by music so loud that I could hear it on the street. When I got to my room the floor was vibrating with the noise and it was like there was the band were sharing my room. I put earplugs in and a pillow over my ears to try and deaden the sound but it had no effect. I looked at their website which says they do have live music that ends at 12, it said nothing about the decibels they allow. They had give me a number to ring out of hours but no one answered or got back to me. At 12.15am I went downstairs and they said they could continue until 12.30 - however it continued until12.55am. If they want to be a hotel they need to soundproof the rooms. What most people want when they book a hotel is to be able to sleep - this was impossible in the Funky Monk. If you also want this then DO NOT stay in this hotel. These are not cheap rooms, money has been spent on the decor rather than making it a place were you can actually sleep. I shall never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone else. There was no gas for breakfast on Monday morning!!

Amazing place ! Staff went above and beyond, highly recommend. Great welcome, felt really looked after, thank you so much. Will stay again ! Fab !

Great location .

This stay was

Took a while to check in. Took even longer to check out. Everywhere in the area closes very early and the only option if you’ve not preplanned

The rooms , service and food , as always are a funky delight !

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.

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

Absolutely beautiful boutique hotel , right in the heart of Epping. Couldn’t fault anything about it. The room was amazing staff were lovely , we really enjoyed our stay

Amazing stay!
