Excellently situated on the high street. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room and facilities were ideal. My only criticism of the room is that the lighting could have been better. There were lots of lamps but they did not give enough light.

Good but could be better
The room was spotless and comfortable but cold. The evening staff were excellent and drinks reasonably priced. The fire alarms were off intermittently overnight, no staff were on reception and apparently the panel has been broken for a month. The morning staff looked exahausted and one woman offered our breakfasts by saying poached eggs instead of good morning which one of you ordered poached eggs - little things matter

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Nice hotel. No lift and most rooms on the second floor. Steep staircase. An accident waiting to happen. No air conditioning also. In 2024 at the prices for this hotel it is poor no to have a modern air conditioning units as standard.

Liked: Amenities
Didn’t have the greatest stay here. We upgraded to a suite and expected a bit more for what we had paid- it was a treat for us but didn’t really feel that special. We upgraded to a suite, which was great space, but was cold, felt unused and unloved. No shampoo/shower gel in the freezing cold bathroom. Understandably an old building- but the windows have no insulation or sound proofing and being on the high street this needs to be improved for warmth and noise pollution. So a noisy and cold room. Reception did try to improve the heat when we went out. Breakfast in the morning was dreadful. Service and standards were very poor. Tea and coffee but no cups, having to ask for cups, then milk, not given menus but asking what we wanted to order- then no cutlery and things missing off of the plate. Just all in all a very disappointing experience here- and not a cheap stay. Maybe staying at the back of the hotel would improve the noise early in the morning for future guests but it’s not somewhere I would recommend to friends

Very comfortable stay!
Always a lovely place to stay, place is clean, well kept and the staff are all brilliant, special thanks to the young man who took my luggage up for me! Food is excellent, service is excellent. They have refurbished since my last stay and it looks great. Thumbs up from me!

Hotel staff are great. I've stayed at both properties in Colchester several times and everyone is so helpful and kind. Rooms are adorable. Bed is super comfy. Breakfast is good. I love that they are right in the middle of High Street and close to everything. Highly recommend staying here!

Would stay again - old quirky hotel
Very pleasant stay - old quirky hotel right in centre of Colchester. Parking was fine just behind the hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. My only comment would be that the stairs are quite steep leading up to the top so request a room on first floor if steep flights of stairs may be a concern - but for me it was a great stay and would return next time in Colchester. Thank you

Beautiful hotel. The rooms have been upgraded to a very high standard. Very tasteful. Only negative is that the walls are very thin so we could hear conversations next door but because of the age of the building that’s to be expected.
