Lovely decor - mix of old and modern - and a great vibe in the bar and lounge. Couldn’t be more central. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and not madly priced. Our room was comfortable and well decorated. Shower was powerful. Slightly smelly drains, and having a room at the front on a Saturday night with single glazed windows meant we heard the delights of many couples rowing in the streets. Overall a great place at a reasonable price.

What a fantastic Hotel , with great decor , ideally positioned in the heart of Colchester , great staff and delicious breakfast .. only criticism was that I had a sleepless night , Due to an issue with the toilet in our room that meant the water was constantly noisily running into the toilet and couldn’t be used , I mentioned this to a staff member who said it was usually an easy fix by pressing the flusher a few times ( which would indicate it’s an ongoing issue with the toilets ) and when she tried this and it didn’t work I was told that maintenance would have to look at it on Monday .. not much use to me when I only stayed on the Saturday night ! So having a sleepless night took the shine off an otherwise great Hotel

Beautiful hotel room and the bar is stunning! But if you have a room overlooking the high street expect some noise especially on a Saturday night. This didn’t impact us as we were up late anyway.

The hotel was totally unsuitable. The pictures are far too flattering and hide a number of improtantbissues such as steep dangerous stairs.
