Everyone of the staff were very pleasant, friendly and very helpful. Quite exeptional !
Our family room was fantastic. Sharing like that provides us with so much more time together and it can be difficult finding somewhere suitable. This room was perfect.

Colchester has much to offer especially to those interested in British history. Apart from the well known castle and museum there are several walking routes to follow. The Roman Circus museum and exhibition is worth finding as it demonstrated that Roman finds are still being discovered. The nearby village of Copford and the church of St Michael and All Angels with its splendid and rare wall paintings is well the trip out. Colchester is also a good base for discovering some of the quieter areas of the NE Essex countryside, coast and estuaries.

Colchester is hell on earth.
Colchester is hell on earth.
Dirty, fighting, the whole city centre drunk full of absolute idiots.
Dirty streets full of sick.
Every thing we bought from the shops was out of date when we brought back to room.
Bees Indian in the town centre, made us all ill. Serving curry with squirty cream and glacier cherry.
The people are very very rude! Absolute hell hole.

We didn’t see the sights of Colchester this time as we were visiting friends, but we will next time we visit. Driving through the town was relatively simple, the only downside being lots of traffic lights, but it’s the same anywhere these days. It’s a beautiful town with plenty of things to do, some very old properties which are beautiful to look at, especially if you are a a history buff.. I would definitely recommend Colchester. It was out very first visit but definitely won’t be our last.

Visit Colchester, you will not be disappointed!

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Colchester
The hotel was ideally placed for us, being equidistant between the two family groups we were in Colchester to visit.
It was competitively priced, the room and bathroom were clean, the shower was decent and the beds were very comfortable for us. Also, the quality of the breakfast was quite good and at £10 per person, represented good value. And finally, all the members of staff we had contact with were very friendly and helpful.
The apartment was very spacious and very clean. Can not fault the place. The host was in contact right up to and after we stayed. The area was right by the river and was so peaceful, especially after a busy day in the town centre. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in staying in Colchester, and I would definitely go back in the future.
