I wanted a room overlooking car, with my cherished car that my husband gave me just before he passed away. This car is VERY special to me, so I keep an eye on it when 'away'. Food good too. Quiet. Lovely staff- very helpful.

All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room beautifully appointed. Lots of attention to detail regarding what was provided ie 6 different types of tea! Huge towels! Nothing too much trouble, ie they were fully booked in the restaurant but still managed to fit us in. The food was superb. Altogether we had a wonderful stay.

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.lynetteUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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!

Colchester castle was a good part it was interesting to see Colchester's history. The castle Park is a great place to go and sit and relax take a picnic and have a stroll around. I only stayed for 2 nights but would of liked to stay longer to take a proper look around

- From £89.10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 2,172 reviewsThe room was a good size, very clean and had most of the facilities you would need including an iron and ironing board in the room. It was also very secure as you could only enter the hotel with your room key. The location of the hotel is very good, especially if you are visiting the city centre or going to Colchester Castle. Breakfast, which was served in The George pub opposite, was very good with a choice of buffet style continental breakfast or a cooked full English (a vegetarian cooked breakfast was also available).LouiseUnited Kingdom
- From £120 per night8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 960 reviewsThe room was nicely laid out and adequately furnished and the bed very comfortable. Being in an old hotel, in an old part of Colchester the floor retained the period property features! The staff were great, welcoming and friendly taking the time to find out about us and our reason for staying. The food however, passed our expectations and we can highly recommend The Green Room restaurant for the food and for the service, my steak was cooked to perfection and my wife enjoyed her fish too. The wine was excellent.AAndyUnited Kingdom
- From £89.10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 2,172 reviewsThe room was giant and the general feel to the Hotel was amazing! The location was perfect. The only thing I would say is to give more indication on where the George parking is, as the area seems to be a one way system which doesn’t lead you to the high street using google maps but other than that this is defo a spot to hit!!!! We loved it that much we booked a night to stay at the sister hotel for another night (the George hotel).
ElizabethUnited Kingdom - From £99 per night6.7Scored 6.7PleasantRated pleasant· 1,998 reviewsThe hotel was ideally placed for us, being equidistant between the two family groups we were in Colchester to visit. It was competitively priced, the room and bathroom were clean, the shower was decent and the beds were very comfortable for us. Also, the quality of the breakfast was quite good and at £10 per person, represented good value. And finally, all the members of staff we had contact with were very friendly and helpful.
