I loved the hotel and would definitely stay there again when visiting Colchester! Very good value for money. The room was huge, with a double bed and a sofa. The bathroom was nice as well, the shower room was huge and it had shampoo, shower gel and soap for the hands. The room was very clean and had a kettle and everything to have a tea in the room. The staff was very friendly! You can ask for a comb, toothbrush or shaving kit for free in the reception. I had dinner in the restaurant, tried different food and it was delicious and very tasty, also affordable.

We stayed here to attend my nieces wedding a few miles away, there was plenty of parking at the venue and if you drive electric, there are charging points available. Check in was slick and professional, the young man on reception was very pleasant and professional. The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed, the bedding was very comfortable and there were ample electrical points available, WIFI is available but we didn't make use of it as we had ample data on our phones. Breakfast is the best I've seen in a long time at the many hotels I've stayed at over recent years, the best full English anywhere so far, there was also an excellent selection of cereals fruits, cheeses, jams and hot drinks as well as juices. In a nutshell, based on my experience you wont go wrong if you stay here. less than a minute from the A12 just outside Colchester.

We liked the hotel! We have stayed there for three times. The check-in procedure was smooth and accessing an on-site parking was easy. The beautifully designed hotel is situated in a historic building. The hotel is conveniently located between the city centre and the University. Spacious rooms were equipped with all the necessary facilities. We especially liked the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon for our breakfast, which we ordered additionally from the menu. We also tried the delicious fish and chips at the hotel's restaurant. We are very grateful to the friendly staff who helped us with our queries!
