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 KingdomWe use this Hotel regularly and have never found fault this is because there is nothing to fault. Very clean. Very comfy. Everything you need is provided. We cannot comment on the staff as it is a no contact Hotel that runs very efficiently.
United KingdomComfortable. Easy check in. Good location for the railway station.
United KingdomThis property provides you with the basics needed for your stay. From in house tea & coffee, mini fridge & microwave along with TV, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, your room is great for an over night stay or an extended stay. We were lucky to be on the ground floor, which included an en-suite too. Ideal location for the station, just a 5 minute walk from the lodgings, with great links to London. Not far from the town, but also a 15 minute walk to Asda & small retail park in one direction & co-op in the other. Lovely little park for dog walking & bonus that the property allows well behaved dogs in the room too is a bonus. Highly recommended. Have used before & will continue to use when needed.
United KingdomHad everything I wished for couldn't fault it felt like I was visiting aunties house didn't get my head around it at first but when I got to my apartment understood what its about clean tidy only thing missing is your personal butler can not fault the place doesn't charge enough
United KingdomVery lovely and clean. No physical contact with anyone. Check in was simple and straight forward.
United KingdomIt was very local to the train station and easy to find. The check in is easy to follow and the room is very clean equipped with everything needed.
