Very comfortable. Wonderful towels in the bathroom, big and fluffy and a good shower. Quality bedding and comfortable bed. Very pleasant bar and good wine selection. Food from the restaurant was good quality and reasonable price. However, the star of the whole stay was Julie. She went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Organised a cab to my next venue. As a solo traveller of a certain age I sometimes find I am invisible in hotels, not so here. Julie stopped to chat when her duties permitted. Every hotel should have a Julie!

Lovely hotel in well kept grounds, lots of parking and large rooms. Reception staff very friendly at a late hour when checking in. Didn't make it to breakfast, but the price for food and the room was very competitive!

I liked the town and its history. However, I found the prices in pubs to be excessive, regarding both food and drink. The portion I received in the George was very small, especially considering I'd paid twenty-four pounds for it. It consisted of a tiny piece of fish, three mussels, a little broccoli, and two very small pieces of potato. In the Castle, I paid eighteen ponds fifty for a pint, with pie and mash.The price of a pint in most pubs was what you might expect to pay in London.

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.

The hotel was half way up the hill and the nearest bus stops at the top or bottom.
There are many buses which basicly end up at Osbourne road bus station
There are numerous scooters for hire with i phone but i didnt see a main point of distribution just abonded scooters hear and there .
The 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.
Baye House is like a heaven and oasis for us. The room is spacious and comfortable. In the morning I enjoyed hearing the birds singing from the room “Tree.” The common area including the garden, the guest lounge, the bathroom and the shared kitchen is very well decorated and maintained. We had very good sleep and refreshed ourselves there. Thank you, Annie. If we have a chance to go back to Colchester, we will definitely stay at Baye House again.
Cosy, comfortable hotel with period features within walking distance of the historic centre Colchester. Well appointed rooms. All the staff were welcoming and provided very good levels of customer service. Bar open in the evening. The breakfast was delicious. Car park on site was a little tight in places, but there was always a space available. Would definitely visit again.
The hotel was just outside Colchester off the A12. The hotel is being renovated, however we heard no construction noise during our stay. We were put in the new wing which has been beautifully renovated. We were first put into a double room and when we questioned it, the friendly receptionist changed us over to a twin. It had a huge TV and 2 comfortable 3 quarter size beds.
MY WIFE AND i WERE ATTENDING A FUNERAL IN Colchester AND THE HOTEL AND ITS LOCATION WERE RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND. We were delighted with the location and facilities at the hotel and Roland and the staff were extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend the hotel to other potential visitors.
Needs electric ports.
The food in the bar was expensive considering there are loads of places near. We would have eaten at hotel if was cheaper.
Bar didn't have a good choice of beer/larger and again expensive.
The bar/breakfast area the wood was dusty with spider webs just needs a vac
We wanted to stay in Colchester so the location was great. We booked a disabled room as I'm disabled and it couldn't have been better, very clean, spacious, great wet room and comfortable bed. The staff and restaurant in The George Hotel were very pleasant. Will definitely book again.
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 very helpful and friendly. Check in was very straightforward. The decor was very tasteful. The best hotel breakfast I think I’ve ever had. Made to order and had gluten free options too. Even had air on in the rooms!
The location of the place.
Loved the building too
and the beds and room, loved that we had out own door to the main road so we didn't have to walk to the reception as we were round the back of the hotel.
Perfect location close to Colchester Town centre. Quiet at night.
Had adequate facilities. Very clean. Spacious living area with dining table. Would highly recommend and would book again.
what a wonderful hotel! great location, very welcoming, had delicious food, the room clean and comfortable. the staff was exceptionally nice. lots to do in colchester. highly recommended.
It was in a quiet area with a bus stop quite near for Colchester town Center. Also some trailing paths half an hour away on foot. Perfect if you have a car as lots of parking around.
Clean, good size bathroom, comfortable bed. Shame this hotel is where it is because it's the area that lets it down. Soundproof the windows and this would be so so much better.
Situated on the A12 just outside of Colchester.We stayed here as it was a short ride from our daughter's Colchester Zoo and on the route to Braintree Shopping Village.
