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!

You have to be fit as there is a lot of walking 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 .

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 £72 per night6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 1,309 reviewsAs you can see from the photos on their website, the actual hotel is an amazing building right in the middle of Colchester. The common areas (reception, lounges, dining room) are lovely, really oldy-worldy, with beams and nooky rooms with a large wooden staircase. The staff did an excellent job making us feel welcome and tried really hard to do the best they could. There definitely weren't enough staff as the lady on reception was also helping behind the bar serving drinks and later became our waitress (as we stayed for dinner).
GregUnited Kingdom - From £110 per night6.4Scored 6.4PleasantRated pleasant· 331 reviewsThe rooms where comfy and decorated with a homely feel. The location and car park was very convenient. Not many hotels are a walking distance to town and have free parking. Staff are friendly. I personally think the bad reviews were not to do with the service but discrimination. This hotel definitely has potential and I feel like the staff are working hard to make it Better. I think the improvements that need to be made are reflected in the price a it’s very cheap compared to other hotels in the area.jessicaUnited Kingdom

The hotel was so comfortable and the staff looked after us very well. We would happily stay here again if we ever return to Colchester. A particular special mention for the black guy ( sorry we didn't get your name ) who was very welcoming and made our stay that little bit more special - Thank you. :) Highly recommended Hotel to all visitors to Colchester.ElizabethUnited Kingdom
- From £71.30 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 693 reviewsThe 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 JayneUnited Kingdom - 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 47 reviewsCharming, Victorian cottage in a quirky village. Equiped with everything we needed and extra touches such as Cava and treats. Enjoyed walking around the village looking at all the different architectural styles. Very convenient to be able to walk along the river path into Colchester and catch bus/train back. Loved the Castle Museum. Train to the coast was great too. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine at the end of the day.
LorraineUnited Kingdom - From £98 per night6.7Scored 6.7PleasantRated pleasant· 1,985 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.
DavidUnited Kingdom - From £89.10 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 2,164 reviews1. Location is at the heart of Colchester. We arrived by National Express bus and the stop is just 3 mins walk to the hotel. 2. Room is modern and comfortable. Bathroom with shower and modern too. 3. This hotel has a lift so really love it as I was travelling with heavy luggages. 4. My room comes with hot bfast at The George. Simple but delicious bfast with amazing atmosphere of The George.
ArishahakimMalaysia - 7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 3,277 reviewsWith the hot weather we wanted a Colchester pool break hotel - this find was a rarity in the locale. There’s nothing wrong with the hotel, it’s clean, functional, large, a great breakfast caters for all, but of course a little short on character. Location so convenient for area. Definitely the perfect overnight travelling stay, but we’d look for something in the countryside for longer stay.IainUnited Kingdom
