    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.

    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!

    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!

    The 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.

    Everything about this hotel was amazing. It was cheap without it feeling and looking cheap. The staff were really welcoming from the minute we set foot through the door. Special mention to Julie who was a real gem; so engaging and genuine. Theres a restaurant on site, breakfast was exceptional. The bar is well stocked and not excessively priced. Rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfy. Had a great night sleep. Location - central colchester, high street is a short walk away.

    The hotel was just outside Colchester off the A12. The hotel is being renovated, however we heard no construction noise during our stay. We were put in the new wing which has been beautifully renovated. We were first put into a double room and when we questioned it, the friendly receptionist changed us over to a twin. It had a huge TV and 2 comfortable 3 quarter size beds.

    Beautiful cottage with a unique character. The owner is very kind, friendly and accommodating. The room was charming and clean, and the bed had a lovely heated blanket (a first for me!:)). Had a great night's sleep. The breakfast was also delicious. The location is very close to the city center and Colchester Town train station. Had an absolutely wonderful time here.

    Location was perfect. Right near the high Street with pubs and restaurants. Chosen for its closeness to the Colchester Arts Centre where we attended a gig. Lovely hotel, quirky little room in the Stable block with a comfy bed. Very friendly welcoming staff. Continental breakfast with plenty of choice. We would stay again if we come back to Colchester.

    We used the hotel as a centre point for visiting the historic town of Colchester, and for this it was ideal. It had a very relaxed atmosphere, with very friendly and helpful staff. The bedrooms were very luxurious and comfortable. We only had breakfasts, but these were amazing. Would certainly recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Colchester.

    Student accommodation made available during the summer holidays, located on the Uni Campus. As such, it is a bit bare-bones but good value for the money. Essex Uni Campus is on the outskirts of Colchester, dorms well clear of busy traffic. Parking and public transport on site.

    The location is really good. 100m from the castle on the high street. The room was spacious and was really clean. The balcony was useful and had a good view over Colchester. The breakfast over the road in the George Hotel was tasty and there was plenty of selection.
