- Diane (9/5): Great location, comfortable and staff very helpful - Very friendly owners, very fast WiFi, next to a great Indian restaurant, short walk to the castle and free, easily accessed parking. Rooms were tasteful & very clean and very comfortable bed
- SERGEJS (8/5): Очень хорошо, когда у вас есть свой мобильный интернет. - Отличное местоположение. Тихое место. Удобная парковка на территории отеля. Вежливый и ненавязчивый персонал. Очень плохой интернет. Скорость постоянно меняется и иногда просто отключается. Однако, в некоторых вариантах, он включен в стоимость номера как дополнительная услуга
- David (8/5): -
- Jim (8/5): Good and really good value - Friendly staff in a quiet location but only 10 mins walk from the city centre. The walk is uphill but there are frequent buses right outside the hotel. Nothing stands out
- Aprila72 (10/5): Great for a city pit stop - Nice comfortable and clean.
Staff were very friendly Nice and near to train station and city center.
- Karen (7/5): -

- Rachel (8/5): Decent for the price - Big comfy bed. Friendly staff. Room & hotel were unbearably hot. Had to turn radiator off and sleep with windows wide open as bathroom radiator was fixed on max too.
Broken lift buttons slightly concerning but it worked.
- Chelsea-berlin (10/5): -
- Paul (7/5): Lovely staff. Good parking. Central location - There was no breakfast which meant finding somewhere to eat every morning. The room was large with comfy bed and nice white linen. Tea making facilities and very warm room overlooking roof terrace. Plug missing in sink. Lift often didn’t work. The upstairs areas are far nicer than the ground floor which doesn’t appear to be used.

- Roger (6/5): - Reasonable price. Convenient desk with free wifi . Convenient for station No breakfast until 9.30. Twice disturbed by fire alarm. (a guest smoking in their ropm). Limited choice of nearby eating places. No room.housekeeping in a five night stay..Wash basin tap loose.
- Lesley (5/5): - Easy access to hotel as we were had an early start on first morning and a late return. I would only question the security of the second day side entrance with keypad as seemed to be permanently open.
Bed was comfortable and the room spacious. Too much light in the room due to fire exit light in room and external covered terrace with fairy lights outside.
Bathroom was function al and generally clean but could do with some TLC on the finishing around bath.and sealant.
- Kenneth (5/5): - Friendy staff No hot water or heating
- James (1/5): -
- Tim (2/5): -
- Juan Carlos (6/5): Pleasant but at the end was awful for the sound - The hotel is nice the issue is that there
Is a conference room (party room below) and it’s too loud and people can sleep when there are party’s below one night I couldn’t sleep I asked for a reimburse but they say no, please reimburse me that night The hotel and staff is good but again one night I couldn’t sleep due to the sound of a party that lasted til 3 am . I asked for a reimburse of that night but they said no
- Sinead (7/5): - Very warm welcome. Rooms were exceptionally clean. Corridor lightening was very dull. No staff member available on leaving premises.
- LOVETH (9/5): It was fantastic - Everything Nothing
- JULIA (8/5): - Close to Colchester Station Had trouble finding to start with. Reception not manned 24/7

- Ian (7/5): -
- Emma (7/5): -
- Ed (6/5): Promote Kumar, check all the rooms have their items all present and working. Once that is all done, you will have a good - Kumar.. a great member of staff.
Like really, just what you want from your staff.
Location… Colchester train station an easy 15 stroll away. We were heading to the radio 2 PITP event at Chelmsford, which took 25 mins or so, stopped at two other stations (I think Whitham was one of them..) and it cost £24 return for 2 adults on Saturday .. all in, so not £24 each.. FYI we used TrainPal (again..).
Free parking right behind the hotel.
Mini market next door, 24 hours (we believe) but quiet and very well stocked. Hotel - Broken entrance door, glass shattered.
Room - 202 - On the 1st floor.
Broken window opener .. for the only window that could be opened safely and securely. Which meant the room was very hot, no ventilation, and a tiny fan that was very noisy as well as blowing warm air.. so useless basically..
Broken room telephone. Had to call to report the above issues using our own mobile phone. Tried unplugging it, and plugging it back in, also looking for any buttons and or ‘ON/OFF’ switches, there were none on it.. it was just totally pointless.
No room safe.
Drawers in wardrobe do not open.
TV turns itself off, at random points.
We didn’t bother with photos this time, but as with all our reviews, it is 100% genuine, based on our own (objective & honestly held belief that it will help others and also advise the hotel owners).
Any questions.. DM us on here .. take care 😊

- mick (8/5): -
- paul (8/5): -
- Del (8/5): Great location, clean and tidy. - It took me a while to get in as the reception is not manned. The staff were very friendly and helpful allowing me to leave my bag in the room even though I wasn’t due to check in for another 3 hours. Nothing
- Lynne (3/5): Nice staff, poor hotel - The location of the hotel is great, it was just a ten minute walk from our event The hotel is in need of refurbishment. The decor is completed to a very poor standard. The bathroom was grotty and there was a bath mat on the floor that was very dirty. No air con in the room and we couldn’t have the windows open at night as someone could have climbed in from the other side as it backed on to a smoking area. We stumbled into the conference area by accident and there’s a beat up old couch that looked like something from Trainspotting.
- Elizabeth (7/5): - Great location Super hot room and noisy road
- Diane (5/5): Basic facilities, feel overpriced - Room was clean Location - arrived, bunch of people sitting on step outside front of hotel drinking cans of alcohol,
hotel locked up and nobody available to let us in for almost 1/2 hour.
When we got in, room was very basic, bedding clean but stains seen on radiator and windows.
- Lee (3/5): Weird - Hairdryer No staff on reception, staff barely spoke English,
Asian run hotel no English breakfast
Room not ready. Smokers outside bedroom window.

De verlichting boven het bed werkte niet.
- alison (6/5): Very basic , clean and in good location. - Location , free parking Window opened onto a corridor
- Shelly (3/5): Disappointed - Friendly man greeted us at reception and showed us to our room. Very expensive for a very basic room. No towels, shower didn’t work, rubbish on the floor, milk and cheese in fridge from previous guest and cleaner tried to enter the room twice in the morning-an hour before checkout time when we were still sleeping.
- Lindsay (5/5): -
- Danielle (10/5): Parking, staff can not enough for you. - The staff was very helpful and could not do enough. They gave us a king size bed and we had booked a double so this was such a lovely upgrade. The stay was really good value for money and we will definitely be back. The family, owners and all staff are so kind which makes the stay personal so much more comfortable. Highly recommend 👌 Liked everything. It was lovely and great value for money.
- Fraser (7/5): Nice hotel, enjoyed our stay - Staff were very friendly, room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee in the room. Decent shower. It's a bit old school, slight tobacco smell in the room
- Angie (9/5): -
- John (10/5): Perfect place to use as a base for exploring Colchester. - The hotel had clearly just been refurbished and was in excellent condition. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The location was excellent, too. Just 5 minutes walk away from Castle Park. The free parking was a wonderful bonus.. Honestly, there was nothing to dislike about this lovely little hotel.
