Colchester is a beautiful town with lots of historic beauty.
Colchester is a beautiful town with lots of historic beauty. We only had two nights here, but would definitely visit again for longer. The centre is great for shopping, with many pedestrianised streets, and a mix of well-known shops, street vendors and local independent businesses. It's really not that large, so it's easy to walk around. Our favourite locations were the Firstsite art gallery and cafe, the Curzon cinema (next door), the Minories art gallery and the castle park. We also easily found some great restaurants. There seemed to be loads of Italian restaurants, but we preferred the Vietnamese and Japanese places. Our favourite shops were Red Lion Books on the High Street and Bestdays Vintage on Eld Lane, for great coffee, vintage clothes and music chat with the staff.Guest review byBobUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Colchester is great for a short weekend trip; it's not a large city, so everything is close by and it's easy to explore Colchester on foot. There are a range of different restaurants and pubs, to suit all needs. Add in places of historical interest such as the castle, and nature such as High Woods Country Park, and there's enough variety to keep busy for a few days. A historical tour is worth doing and the city has a nice relaxed atmosphere to it overall.Guest review byMike ChagouriUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We really enjoyed the Colchester Castle and tour, as well as the historical sites around town , such as the water tower and Balkan Gate. The park was lovely and the Dutch quarter was interesting to see. Nearby, we had a great visit to Frinton where the beach is lovely. Also we travel.ed to Flatford Mill and had a smashing boat trip. It was easy to walk around the town. We ate at Wetherspoons ( The Playhouse) which was a novel venue and Wei's kitchen where the food and the host were great.Guest review byRobertUnited Kingdom - 8.0

Great shopping centre, great for history, locals not really friendly, I travel alot and first time I've ever seen unfriendly locals...it was very strange. We stayed at Grorge Hotel to park at the back of hotel, it tells you at traffic lights you cars can't turn right, hotel said you could, we were worried in case we got a fine, this needs to be clearer, disappointed the museum was closedGuest review byTerri Lee ONEILLUnited Kingdom - 6.0
Colchester doesn't really have a lot going for it.
Colchester doesn't really have a lot going for it. The castle is really worth a visit. There weren't the Roman remains that my husband was hoping for as a lot has been built on. It's very much a working town. But maybe we didn't do enough research to get the best out of it. Bus service is good and saves trying to drive and park through the town.Guest review byAndrinaUnited Kingdom - 6.0

The centre of Colchester is just like many other towns and cities that have had the guts ripped out of them and a new shopping centre built in there place. Same shops but just in a different configuration. Fenwicks is a good shop and the George pub which dates back to 1400 has a lot of history to it. The castle museum and grounds are a must see which takes you back through the history of Colchester and the castle. We found the best place to park was the Brittania long stay car park as it's not multi story with stupid small spaces. You can pay by phone or card in hourly increments just over £1 an hour.Guest review byYorkieBoyUnited Kingdom

- From $178.37 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.5Good - What previous guests thought, 1,188 reviewsThe location was the real selling point and the rates were reasonable. There was parking behind the George Hotel at £9.50 for 24hrs which was a good rate. The place was clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a base camp to come back to and you want to be in Central Colchester it's great.Guest review byLouisaUnited Kingdom
