Inn Brook Red Lion Hotel
High Street, Colchester, CO1 1DJ, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Travelling for work this was a very conveniently located place to stay.

Lovely decor and atmosphere Friendly helpful staff . Very helpful at breakfast with providing gluten free items.

Great location. Perfect for a work meet up without having to drive home. Would consider going back for a night out again.

An historic building with comfortable rooms. The food is excellent and the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Out standing and I would highly recommend plus the breakfast was top notch 👍

The Staff were excellent and helpful. The location of the hotel was central in the high street. It was close to all shopping outlets. Well done. Keep up the good work.

The feel of it. Old heritage building bang in Central Colchester. Shame restaurant wasn't open due to covid

Location is great. My room is towards the quieter side so I’m happy

The hotel is direct in city center , very clean and confortable , quiet for sleep and nice sataff ,

I really liked that my room had a bay window overlooking the main street. I enjoyed just watching the world go by. If you want a super quiet room, room 2 is not for you, but I loved it. The staff were super helpful.
