Guesthouse The Railway Sleeper Lodge
Bergholt Road, Colchester, CO4 5AJ, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Great as a base for exploring. Room was clean and tidy. Tea and Coffee facilities provided, along with water and OJ in the small fridge. Short walk to the local pub for evening meals. Be warned, the rooms are small!
United KingdomThe room had everything you needed and was very clean
United KingdomComfortable, clean and fantastically priced accommodation. Our rooms had everything we needed, coffee making facilities, fruit juice, fridge, microwave, small table and chairs for breakfast, iron. Good shower. Quadruple suite was so convenient for our needs! Unfortunately couldn't get parking on site but there was no problems finding a bay to park on the road for our evening's stay. Would definitely stay again if back in this area.
United KingdomArrival anytime with door code works very well, theres a number in case of problems. Rooms immaculately clean. Although small they had an amazing number of facilities - microwave, fridge with free drinks, desk and torch, iron, wardrobe, many lamps and plug sockets. Room had adjustable thermostat and was very nicw and warm. Bed clean and comfy. Location great. Check out very easy. Will stay again. Fantastic value for money
United KingdomThe rooms had tea coffee facilities hairdryer tv etc fridge microwave.
United KingdomClean and well equipped room. Great idea with the fridge and microwave and most importantly being able to make a cuppa. Ironing board and iron and TV added bonuses along with a hairdryer and fan, on suite with towels and shampoos/soap. Having mobility issues we had the ground floor room which I was grateful of.
United KingdomBasic, small, but very clean, comfy bed, lovely new soft towels, quiet even with window open (we were at back of property). Pub serving food within walking distance. Free parking. With everything you need for an over night stay. Good value accommodation the short time we spent in there.
United Kingdomwould recommend this hotel every thing you need tidy and very clean bathroom and shower was great will book again
United KingdomThe location and proximity to transport and shopping facilities is a great asset. A short walk to the local Pub called The Bricklayers Arms that serves great beer and food. The accommodation is clean and adequate for short stays. Parking available. Accommodation in on a budget; brilliant.
United KingdomGood communication and easy check in process which was smooth running. It it dog friendly and you have everything you need for a stay. Fridge is topped with water and juice which is a bonus. Comfy night sleep. Yes it's not the biggest but provides everything you need for a stay. I will definitely book in again when visiting family. I like you can check in at any time after 3 due to contactless check in.
