Colchester is a brilliant town to visit, you have the old...
Colchester is a brilliant town to visit, you have the old and new part to walk round ranging from a good collection of shops and food outlets to browse and walking round the various churches, castle, monastery ruins and lovely parks. The town is within walking distance of both train stations, taxis are plenty also. Take a good pair of comfy walking attire for feet as you will be walking up and down gradients!! A great place to visit on the local bus is Manningtree where there is a antiques emporium to walk round with a great cafe in the high street for food. If visiting Colchester for the first time I recommend staying at least a minimum of 4 days as their is a lot to see of interest. Lots of charity shops too!! For families do visit Colchester Zoo which is a great day out, this can be reached by bus also if you do not drive.lynetteUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Great weekend destination.
Great weekend destination. Loads of big and little shops, cafes, restaurants and craft ales bars. Great atmosphere in town. On top of this the most amazing castle and wobbly medieval houses and Roman walls something for everyone!! Town centre easy to walk round and explore and topped off with a fabulous meal at China Chef!

You have to be fit as there is a lot of walking The hotel was half way up the hill and the nearest bus stops at the top or bottom. There are many buses which basicly end up at Osbourne road bus station There are numerous scooters for hire with i phone but i didnt see a main point of distribution just abonded scooters hear and there .

Colchester is a gem.
Colchester is a gem. Lovely architecture and sights, good cafes and pubs, shopping and eateries. It's not at all dog friendly, though, which is a big drawback if you ask me. Come on, Colchester, Britain loves its pets!

Colchester castle was a good part it was interesting to see Colchester's history. The castle Park is a great place to go and sit and relax take a picnic and have a stroll around. I only stayed for 2 nights but would of liked to stay longer to take a proper look around

- From $137.34 per night6.4Scored 6.4PleasantRated pleasant· 331 reviewsThe rooms where comfy and decorated with a homely feel. The location and car park was very convenient. Not many hotels are a walking distance to town and have free parking. Staff are friendly. I personally think the bad reviews were not to do with the service but discrimination. This hotel definitely has potential and I feel like the staff are working hard to make it Better. I think the improvements that need to be made are reflected in the price a it’s very cheap compared to other hotels in the area.jessicaUnited Kingdom
- From $111.25 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,736 reviewsBeautiful old building, we booked to stay here as we were in Colchester for a gig. The four poster bed room was really worth the price. Comfy bed, lovely hotel bar and friendly staff. My partner had a ghostly experience around 6am someone pulled the cover up over him to tuck him in but I was fast asleep. A friendly ghost though. Would definitely book and stay again. 20 min walk from town. This hotel is definitely gonna be a lovely memory with my partner 😌
