Great Staff

Small room but had everything I needed and was only for one night. Is very central and about 20 minutes walk from both train stations. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat.

4/10 Fair

Noise even at the back in the annexe so couldn’t sleep. Cold water in shower in the morning.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great. Very clean. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel is on the main road, so can be quite loud outside at times but they provide ear plugs (I travel with my own and with an eye mask in case places are loud and bright). I was worried about the bed as I'd read a review that said they were super soft, but apart from being a little softer than I'd personally choose it was fine and I slept well.

8/10 Very good

Location is great. Rooms at the front of property are noisy, traffic and late night passersby. Manager very helpful and friendly. Yes, I would stay there again but would request a Room on the back as I am a light sleeper.

Basic single room was ok

Stayed in the basic single and that's what it was. No complaints, but be aware that the main Northern road into town is right by the front rooms of the hotel

Well located, good breakfast, good room.
Ingeborg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice comfortable hotel an easy walking distance from everything in Colchester. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good quality. I liked the fact that breakfast is 'a la carte', as that reduces wastage. Cleanliness is good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
