Wonderful Stay
Amazing wonderful stay in Colchester once again. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times before. On the plus side we were given a free upgrade to a wonderful room with the balcony. Hotel is part of the George Hotel which I strongly recommend for a Sunday lunch. All staff at hotel were amazing

The hotel is in a very busy part of town, consequently it was noisy late into the morning. Car parking is very difficult to find near by, and the one way system is a pain if you miss your turning.

Honest
Hotel in a central position, which has positives in that it's easy to get to, but the drawback is that you hear people as they leave the pubs, bars, clubs etc. I still think it's worth it though. Especially with their connection to The George Hotel

Checked in okay and the people at the front desk were lovely. The main building looked very nice and was done up well. I was in the part across the road which didn’t look as nice at all. Getting in was all fine but when I entered the room, there were bright green stains all over the floor, marks all over the walls, the toilet seat had a stain the whole way around it and there was hair EVERYWHERE…the more you looked, the more you found

Great location. Terrific value.
City-centre location excellent though ear plugs essential on a Saturday night! TV remote control needs replacing as some essential buttons didn’t work. A mattress topper would have helped the comfort level. Lovely firm mattress and super-king bed but with a king duvet inside a super-king cover, which was annoying.

Good hotel.
Quick and smooth checkin, room as one would expect, clean, tidy with simple amenities, comfortable bed. Noisy revellers if facing the high street on a weekend if there is to be one fault.

We have stayed here before for the location which is perfectly situated near all the shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and warm and has everything needed like an iron, hairdryer, kettle, tea/coffee etc. A mini fridge in the room would make the stay extra special. The staff are always pleasant and professional and helpful. The breakfast which is at the sister hotel The George, has a lovely choice and delicious food. The only negative's is that we were 2 adults and an infant and were provided with a disabled wet room, with no bath. The staff offered to change this the 2nd night but we'd settled by this point with the cot. Next time we'll make a note to request a bath in a family room. Also no allocated parking reservation, just a first come basis parking which is located behind The George which is convenient. But would still recommend this place and would definitely stay again.
