This is a great place to stay for an overnight. Room was clean, well presented and we got a good night's sleep/

Ruth United Kingdom

The location was really useful for using the station to get into Colchester town during the day and a couple of stops along in the evening to Hythe for visiting friends. Saved a fortune on taxis and meant no driving after a long journey. Really comfy bed and excellent power shower. Useful amenities in the room fridge and microwave and good selection of drinks inc hot choc in addition to the usual tea/coffee. Bottles of water and cartons of juice too.

Sarah United Kingdom

I will recommend this property , good location & hoo value , will stay there again

Beauty United Kingdom

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!

Jonathan United Kingdom

The room had everything you needed and was very clean

Barry United Kingdom

Lots of thoughtful stuff like USB sockets as well as 3 pin plugs,the shower was nice and powerful,there was a microwave,a fridge with bonus water and orange juice. Check in was a painless key code and the parking space was wide which was great as I was in an Aston Martin so no danger of it having a door opened on it.

Michael United Kingdom

Small but you have everything you need. They even have free bottles of water in the fridge! Good for a short stay.

Chared Netherlands

So much thought had gone into the room contents. Everything you could need: proper mugs, iron and board, hairdryer, foldaway table etc

Brenda United Kingdom

Good location near to Colchester train station and bus routes into town. The mini fridge in the room with water and orange juice provided was a nice touch.

Chloe United Kingdom

The location at the back of the property was beautifully quiet. Comfortable bed. Light, sunny room.
