No breakfast !
I’m had a single room and the bed was comfy . Unfortunately there seemed to be no soundproofing and I was kept awake by guy downstairs coughing and guy above pacing up and down all night . We were told that breakfast would be served between 07.30 and 10.30 am , so I and my son and his partner arrived in dinning hall at 09.30 am , after taking our order for a full English breakfast , the waiter returned minutes later to say that the chef had gone and that we were to late . Despite other guests also insisting that reception had given them same breakfast times as us the staff continued to blame us all for being late ! Such a shame as I’ve heard good reviews about the food , we all left feeling hungrey .

I had a really pleasant stay. The bed was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was lovely, and all the staff from housekeeping to the servers to the shift managers were delightful. The room was a bit tired, but I didn’t mind that. The only downside was unfortunately I was there during a heatwave. There’s no air on and my room was east facing so was roasting from dawn. I had a fan in the room, which helped, but it was quite uncomfortable and on a noisy road so couldn’t keep window open at night. If I’d stayed on any of the other 51 weeks of the year when it’s cold, it would have been absolutely fine.

Had to do a last minute booking and this hotel was one of the first results on a search. The hotel room was neat, clean and tidy. Staff polite and friendly. Would recommend North Hill hotel.

House keeping came in 3 times, 7.30, 9.30 and again at 10.30. On each occasion she was asked not to come back as not required. The last visit she didn’t even knock and came straight in. I wasn’t happy and she was getting me stressed as I was vacating at 11. Other than that my stay was lovely.

Legendary Shower and pleasant stay
Very professional and friendly welcome after a long conference day. Room was small but perfect for myself. Bed comfy. The shower was AMAZING, strong and hot. Slept well and the full English Breakfast was just what was needed. Very pleasant stay. Thank you!

The hotel is centrally located, with an NCP car park across the road, the rooms were smartly decorated, clean, with quality linen and towels. The staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was very tasty, with quality products. Highly recommended

Hotel was fine for a one night stay with good breakfast. Room was clean and reasonably comfortable, though rather small and I found it rather stuffy at night (though an electric fan was available in the room). Hotel is fairly central, convenient if arriving at Colchester Town Station and for town centre. It's not luxury but reasonable value for what I paid. Staff seemed quite welcoming too.

Top-drawer staff and quality
I took on board comments about lack of noise-proofing from other reporters Anna that is the only thing preventing a 5* review. Julie was so helpful and a star; Claire served up a top-drawer breakfast made with high quality ingredients, cooked so well by the kitchen. Lovely contemporary bar and restaurant area - it’s just a move place to be.

Good service and room, convenient for centre
Friendly reception staff, room had all the essentials, bathroom with excellent shower, and great made-to-order breakfast. I only stayed for a night but would happily go back if in that area in the future. The only thing I think they should address is the lack of clarity as to how to get in -- via the Green Room entrance, not the one by the hotel sign (which was locked).
