Terrible experience for the cost. The checkin for the hotel is in a different hotel across the road. No heating in the room. Very stark room designed for disabled users, noisy nightclub across the road.

Was not told that there was on-going maintenance works. It started at 07:30 am in the morning which completely ruined the stay. I would not recommend this hotel. Made a complaint through Expedia and apparently the hotel didn’t even respond.

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

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.
