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

Honest
Hotel in a central position, which has positives in that it's easy to get to, but the drawback is that you hear people as they leave the pubs, bars, clubs etc. I still think it's worth it though. Especially with their connection to The George Hotel

4/10 Fair

Checked in okay and the people at the front desk were lovely. The main building looked very nice and was done up well. I was in the part across the road which didn’t look as nice at all. Getting in was all fine but when I entered the room, there were bright green stains all over the floor, marks all over the walls, the toilet seat had a stain the whole way around it and there was hair EVERYWHERE…the more you looked, the more you found

Great location. Terrific value.
City-centre location excellent though ear plugs essential on a Saturday night! TV remote control needs replacing as some essential buttons didn’t work. A mattress topper would have helped the comfort level. Lovely firm mattress and super-king bed but with a king duvet inside a super-king cover, which was annoying.

6/10 Good

I was disappointed as this was a deluxe room and cost us more money, but wasn’t as nice or as spacious as the room I had, when I stayed there previously, and that was just a double room. Also had a large balcony but with broken slabs and no table and chairs to sit on Also the fire alarm went off and woke me up, and I didn’t really know what to do. It went off for about 5 minutes.

The facilities are old, and no air conditioning in the room. It’s muggy hot without air conditioning.

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.

Smart, clean, new hotel and good value for money. Conveniently located on the high street. We stayed on a Friday and the High Street is very very noisy until the wee small hours. The lads like to ride at speed on noisy motor bikes in groups along the High Street.
