Would return

Pleasant stay. Clean and modern. It is noisy until the pubs shut but it’s on a main high street so to be expected. Would stay again.
Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is an annex of the George hotel with nice rooms good showers and great location . We were in room 706 which being on the High Street side was noisy with the window open due to the warm temperatures and lack of AC. The TV was in danger of falling off the wall. That being said it was a good value stay although a walk over the road for breakfast was fine for us due to the great weather but would have been less desirable in the wet
Stephen, 1-night trip

Perfect for our needs

Situated right in the heart of Colchester. Our room was a family one so very spacious and comfortable. It was perfect for our needs as we were attending a concert in Chelmsford but if you wanted an early night I wouldn’t recommend the location as it was very noisy up until midnight. We also struggled to park as the one recommended at The George Hotel where you check in was rammed! This was our only real problem otherwise a great stay,

Wonderful Stay

Amazing wonderful stay in Colchester once again. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times before. On the plus side we were given a free upgrade to a wonderful room with the balcony. Hotel is part of the George Hotel which I strongly recommend for a Sunday lunch. All staff at hotel were amazing

Good hotel.

Quick and smooth checkin, room as one would expect, clean, tidy with simple amenities, comfortable bed. Noisy revellers if facing the high street on a weekend if there is to be one fault.
