The location was great for visiting my family. The continental breakfast was great. Plenty for me as a vegetarian to enjoy.

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.

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!
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.
I liked the location, the people working their are super nice, as well as the building and the old style. I liked the style of the hotel from the building itself to the furniture but you will like only if you like traditional old styles. I don't recommend it to someone who like fancy super stars hotel. not because it is not nice but because they will put bad reviews because it won't meet their expectations
Good location, very well maintained hotel, spotlessly clean. Nice staff and a fantastic breakfast too! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay close to Colchester town centre. NCP car par 2 mins walk away was reasonably priced for 24 hour rate too
The hotel is located in a beautiful area, whilst still being close to local amenities. Inside the room, it was very clean and was very pleased to see a bath. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying with you again on our next visit to Colchester Zoo.
The Evening Manager Paul was Great and very helpful. (carried our cases to our room) the location was amazing, first time in Colchester and i will return. The manager was friendly professional and great in the knowledge of the hotel and surrounding area.
The staff were so friendly and helpful! They upgraded our stay which was amazing!
The hotel it’s self is beautiful and clean. The food was to dye for!
Location is perfect, just right on the outskirts of town and right next to Colchester castle.
Very helpful staff. Helped to use the check in machine at the doors. As we were checking out early in the morning, they even cooked breakfast earlier than they supposed to. Breakfast was very delicious. Free parking for hotel guests.
The staff were very helpful, friendly, and polite, the food was cooked to a high standard, my room was comfortable and clean, I would definitely recommend the hotel, and would most certainly stay there again if I am in Colchester
I chose the location as I was missing Essex Campus. I loved the hotel and the stay, but the price could compete better with some of the good hotels in Town Centre. Staff were amazing!
Ideally situated in the centre of Colchester. Very comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff. Complimentary continental breakfast and lovely patio area at the back of the hotel
wonderful hotel. everyone was friendly and helpful. the room was lovely. the shower was excellent and a treat. we ate dinner in the bar, and it was quite good!
Great central location for Colchester. Excellent shower, comfortable room. The receptionist at the George Hotel was exceptional I wish I had asked for his name
