Rooms are good but problems with noise and no hot water.
Staff did their best and moved my room because of noise ( the source of which they couldnât find) but ended up in one with no hot water.
Iâve stayed in several places in Colchester to access the university. This is by far the best. Easy free parking. Lovely and clean. Modest but plentiful breakfast. Comfortable clean beds. Large rooms and everything included. Iron and board. Hairdryer. Toiletries and towels. Good deals on several sites. Always affordable with free breakfast.
Les points forts : Personnel et service et confort de la chambre
Does what it says on the tin for the money.
Location is tricky - miss the last turn off the main road and it's a long way back!
Food was not great - evening meal was basic and 'hot breakfast' was small - no eggs after 8.30!
Okay for the price but could be better.
Overall a good experience. Breakfast was buffet style with a good choice of cereals if you wanted. Evening meals were well cooked and realistically priced but not served on Sunday. The Crown Inn is within a few minutes walk though.
Staff were helpful and readily available during this stay. Rooms are a good size. Evenings were getting cool and manually adjustable radiators are fitted. The Hotel is handily placed for touring south suffolk as well as Essex. Flatford mill being just a few miles into Suffolk is a must see for art lovers!
Would definitely book again if I'm in the area.
Nice hotel on the outskirts of Colchester with easy access to the town and Ipswich. The room was nice but was very dusty on the curtains behind the chairs and lots of our spider webbing in the corners. Shower was hot and powerful enough and the breakfast was 4 out of 5.
It was a lot better than it looked in pictures tbh.
Our only issue was our shower, the cold tap did not work so very much a boiling hot shower! We told the staff the next day who wrote it down to have a look.
What an amazing, reasonably priced and idealistic hotel!
With breakfast included, it was worth returning again and we shall do.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Highly recommended.
There was nothing to like. the cleanliness of the common areas was well below par. the cleanliness of the bathroom left much to be desired and the carpets were not hoovered.The room was not serviced at all during our three night stay,.No dining available on Sunday evening, about which we were not aware. Breakfast choice was abysmal. This was an experience not to be repeated.
