    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!

    Nicely located on Colchester High Street within walking distance of most nearby amenities. Bed decently comfortable, plug sockets by the bed, and of course free Wi-Fi. Staff were very polite and friendly, and the service was very efficient. I slept very well and was easily able to walk to Castle Park, local restaurants and shops, and Colchester Town train station from the hotel. I wouldn't bother with the breakfast, as you have many options on the High Street and nearby, within spitting distance, for much cheaper.

    The hotel is in an excellent location, quiet but within walking distance of the town and the castle. The free on-site parking was great. The room was lovely; comfortable bed, great shower, great WiFi and the fridge was a bonus. The best thing however, was the people there. They were so friendly and helpful. It makes all the difference. This is where we stay when we visit family in Colchester. Thank you to everyone at Star Anglia for making our wedding anniversary so special.

    With the hot weather we wanted a Colchester pool break hotel - this find was a rarity in the locale. There’s nothing wrong with the hotel, it’s clean, functional, large, a great breakfast caters for all, but of course a little short on character. Location so convenient for area. Definitely the perfect overnight travelling stay, but we’d look for something in the countryside for longer stay.

    Lovely small hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Very well situated for exploring the city. Compact rooms in historic building. Nicely restored but a bit on the tight side given the structural limitations.

    Clean, good size bathroom, comfortable bed. Shame this hotel is where it is because it's the area that lets it down. Soundproof the windows and this would be so so much better.
