    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.

    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!

    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!

    Old hotel in the Centre of Colchester, great location, however our first room was next to a bar with (live?) music which was so loud it was like they played in our bedroom. We were offered a new room located on the main street which meant that we were woken throughout the night by screaming drunken people in need of a taxi. We were visiting my son but wont be staying there again next time. Also the hairdryer cd not be plugged in in the bathroom in front of a mirror which was rather odd and inconvenient to say the least.

    One has to be very picky to find fault with this hotel. It is immaculately clean. I stayed in The Helena room in the main house. It was a beautiful, big room. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I arrived a few hours before Check in, so I didn’t mind to wait. What I didn’t expect was that my luggage was already taken to my room when I checked in at 3pm. They also , kindly allowed a late check out at 5pm for a small extra fee. It is good value for money and highly recommended.

    The hotel is in an excellent location, quiet but within walking distance of the town and the castle. The free on-site parking was great. The room was lovely; comfortable bed, great shower, great WiFi and the fridge was a bonus. The best thing however, was the people there. They were so friendly and helpful. It makes all the difference. This is where we stay when we visit family in Colchester. Thank you to everyone at Star Anglia for making our wedding anniversary so special.

    With 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.

    The hotel was just outside Colchester off the A12. The hotel is being renovated, however we heard no construction noise during our stay. We were put in the new wing which has been beautifully renovated. We were first put into a double room and when we questioned it, the friendly receptionist changed us over to a twin. It had a huge TV and 2 comfortable 3 quarter size beds.

    The location is really good. 100m from the castle on the high street. The room was spacious and was really clean. The balcony was useful and had a good view over Colchester. The breakfast over the road in the George Hotel was tasty and there was plenty of selection.

    Friendly personnel. The hotel has a very good restaurant (also used for breakfast). Beds were good; clean room. Parking on public road is possible in front of the hotel if there is space (free of charge from 6pm-8am). Location is good to explore Colchester.

    The location of the place. Loved the building too and the beds and room, loved that we had out own door to the main road so we didn't have to walk to the reception as we were round the back of the hotel.
