116 High Street, Colchester, CO1 1TD, United Kingdom –

Clean, fresh, modern and comfortable. Access and security excellent.

Paul, United States of America

Location fine, although not in The George proper, so had to cross High Street with luggage.

Nick, United Kingdom

Great location They sent us to a new hotel St. Nicholas which is run by The George Hotel. It is clean, new. Way better than the George actually.

Kağan, Turkey

The staff were friendy and helpful. The room was clean and bright.

Paul, United Kingdom

Excellent location. Lovely English charm and character. Secure parking onsite.

Montana, Spain

The room was modern and spotless, Very comfortable

Cristina, United Kingdom

Great location. Fantastic atmosphere at the hotel. We loved the lounge area in the bar where people could meet and relax with a drink. Steeped in history. Beautiful old building.

Mirna, Saudi Arabia

The extra 10 UK pound per day for parking nearby is not obvious in the literature. This raises the cost. WiFi is supposed to exist but fails to reach guest accommodation (as told to me by a staff member when I could not connect for my room). We did have one pleasant meal but the service was erratic and we appeared to have been forgotten at one point. There was no fan in the room (and of course no ac) causing a most uncomfortable stay. It is a very old place and neighboring noise and squeaking floor boards during night made sleep difficult, The slope in the floor was disturbing and unnatural. All in all I would say this it the worse hotel I have stayed in in over 40 years of travel. I/We will never be back and I/w would never recommend it to anyone

Robert, United States of America

It is a nice old building with a lot of character. The staff was helpful and served in the lounge really nice coffee. Although the bath looked somewhat old the shower in it was excellent.

Martha, Netherlands

The room was fine and the en suite facilities. There was no lift which would have been very helpful for us. The stairs were steep and our room was quite a long way to walk. The breakfast was goodish but the service was mixed.

It was in poor state of repair and seriously in need of its imminent refurbishment. The toilet bowl was cracked, the shower head badly discoloured the furniture was tired and worn and the carpet stained.
Interesting old building in a central location.

Not clear on booking that car parking was chargeable,this does make a difference to the overall cost of the hotel. Also via Booking.com it was not stated that the restaurant stops serving meals at 5:00 pm. I understand that the hotel is to undergo a refurb soon, and this mayaffect furture consideration to book, as th hotel is tired and in need of an update
The breakfast was good, and a good choice of options. Location of the hotel. Very central

Last time we stayed we were in the annex hotel over the road which was very much better, In the original building the rooms are in need of refurbishment they look very tired wallpaper peeling off the wall. Room furniture is scratched and old carpet very worn. Downstairs the lounge area looks very very tired carpets really badly worn the chairs are old well used and a mish mash. the outside needs painting and doesn't look inviting.
Liked the location. did not eat at the hotel, staff were friendly and helpfull. beds were comfortable.

Having to go over the road for breakfast. No character in the St Nicholas rooms so a bit of a shame of you were expecting an old, characterful room as per the booking.com listing would have you believe. The rooms are like every other generic Holiday Inn style hotel.
Our room was over the road in the St Nicholas building, so the room was spotless, brand new and right in the middle of town so a perfect location. Great shower, comfy bed, Good breakfast with lots of choice (continental buffet, Full English, veggie fry up, eggs benedict, scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon etc). Great value - does everything you need from a hotel room!
