Clean, Huge Room

Lovely clean room and it was huge! Had everything we needed for.our stay. Building felt safe and was in a really convenient spot on the high street. Even though it was a saturday night, the noise was not an issue. Only criticism is that the room was really really warm! It was snowing outside but the room was still too warm, id be a little worried about staying in the warmer weather as ive noticed from other reviews that this is a problem all year round.

We have stayed here before for the location which is perfectly situated near all the shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and warm and has everything needed like an iron, hairdryer, kettle, tea/coffee etc. A mini fridge in the room would make the stay extra special. The staff are always pleasant and professional and helpful. The breakfast which is at the sister hotel The George, has a lovely choice and delicious food. The only negative's is that we were 2 adults and an infant and were provided with a disabled wet room, with no bath. The staff offered to change this the 2nd night but we'd settled by this point with the cot. Next time we'll make a note to request a bath in a family room. Also no allocated parking reservation, just a first come basis parking which is located behind The George which is convenient. But would still recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

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

The hotel is in a very busy part of town, consequently it was noisy late into the morning. Car parking is very difficult to find near by, and the one way system is a pain if you miss your turning.

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
