Holiday Inn Express Colchester  

Friendly, helpful staff

Room was very poorly lit and felt dull and dingy - mainly due to the colour scheme and the use of pathetic ceiling spot-lights. In the bathroom the lighting isn't suitable for doing makeup, and neither is it good enough in front of the mirror in the main room. Useless for getting ready for a wedding! Please make the rooms feel light and airy with a brighter colour scheme and better positioned lighting.

I loved the decor, fresh and crisp.

The view from the window backed onto a big farm shed!!

Modern, clean and worth it.

the hotel was clean, spacious and the staff were very pleasant. a good variety of food for breakfast.

nothing

the shower was lovely and fresh. room was modern with all necessary items!

Great value very comfortable.

Late check out

No signal in room. And only can get WiFi in the bar. Can't connect to WiFi in bedroom, bit of a let down

Very comfy rooms and gorgeous decor! Very very nice breakfast that was included! Plenty of me and the girlfriend time!

Nothing

Very comfy room and excellent breakfast facilities but most of all the value for money from a pensioners point of view!

Lack of storage facilities in room, but acceptable considering it is an Express outlet and not meant for long stays.

the hotel was almost everything we wanted, clean, friendly and excellent value for money.

The bed was so soft, we had gone to bed early (10.00pm) as we had an early start the next day, but at 12.20am we had not had any sleep due to the softness of the bed, we then rang the reception to ask for extra bedding in order for us to use the sofa bed!!

No wifi

The food was awful

I loved the friendleyness of the staff and the excellent breakfast provided within the room price. Shall definatly use Holiday Inn again.

Ripped sheet on one side of the bed.

Location Cleanliness Ease of use Newness

Cleanliness of the complex and friendliness of the staff. Everything we needed for a one night stay.

The view out of our room overlooking an engineering firm's yard.

The price and the location

Uncomfortable mattress and no gluten free breakfast available on the first morning despite being requested when we booked

Room was lovely and clean,lovely large shower,beds comfy,staff very polite and lovely breakfast

Breakfast plates could of been bigger they weren't a normal size dinner plate but a side plate couldn't get 2 pieces of toast on them

The location was quiet and the hotel looked as new. Very pleasent staff and a good price for the room.

The food left much to be desired, I wouldn't eat the hotel food again. Pricey for the quality of the meal.

Room good, comfortable generally. Spotless.

Staff not at desk on reception mid-afternoon (4pm approx); Bed had very soft mattress, and all felt weak and likely to collapse, wobbled badly - unacceptable

Everything, really good

No free wifi in the room

Rooms were very good and finished to a high standard, Bar area, Free wifi

Food could be better

disabled facilities were excellent.

A bit out of town. Breakfast could have been better

Excellent accom and good service standards. Very reasonably priced. Rural et close to town

Poor mobile connects in room and no free wifi.

Quality and comfort and cleanliness of room and building.

Location a little away from Colchester which is a shame as my family who do not drive would love this establishment.

Room was nice loved the bath room Staff helpful and friendly Thank you

Small moan-wish there was bacon for breakfast and hot food a bit hotter
