Overnight. It was comfortable. Entry is through the restaurant
Ian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great. Very clean. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel is on the main road, so can be quite loud outside at times but they provide ear plugs (I travel with my own and with an eye mask in case places are loud and bright). I was worried about the bed as I'd read a review that said they were super soft, but apart from being a little softer than I'd personally choose it was fine and I slept well.

Lovely friendly ataff
Karl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is great. Rooms at the front of property are noisy, traffic and late night passersby. Manager very helpful and friendly. Yes, I would stay there again but would request a Room on the back as I am a light sleeper.

Kathleen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice comfortable hotel an easy walking distance from everything in Colchester. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good quality. I liked the fact that breakfast is 'a la carte', as that reduces wastage. Cleanliness is good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant overnight stay.

Just had a one night stay to take a look round the City, perfect choice of Hotel, ciuld not have picked anywhere better. Just 5 minutes walk into the High street, 10 minutes to Station. Excellent staff, good breakfast and everywhere in the Hotel exceptionally clean would definately recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Delightful & comfortable town centre hotel

I liked the location; staff were friendly and helpful; breakfasts good and flexible in choice. Comfortable and clean hotel with charming dining area lined with bookcases filled with books. Only had occasional problem accessing WiFi. Really enjoyed my stay.
Yvonne, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

poor sleep, small rooms and basic.

I booked the single room and it was very small and felt like a school dorm.The wardrobe, tables and TV all felt very basic. The bathroom was ok, small again but the main issue I had with my stay was the noise from the corridor and the room above. The room was also hot. No aircon. I stayed in room 6. Any rooms above you will be potentially noisy, It is the nature of the building thats all. ( you hear everything) The bed was too soft and not a good comfy matress. Sadly it was not a great stay.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is not a place for people who need larger rooms. The hallways are narrow, too. The staff were quite friendly and very helpful. To reach it from the main train station, hire a cab unless you live in an area with steep hills.
Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good nights sleep

A comfortable hotel with friendly helpful staff and good food, very good breakfast choice with good service and seemingly cooked to order - not a hot buffet the large hotels favour. Easy access to NCP car park.
Derek, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff and downstairs are lovely. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment, the window frames were filthy!
RICHARD, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good service and room, convenient for centre

Friendly reception staff, room had all the essentials, bathroom with excellent shower, and great made-to-order breakfast. I only stayed for a night but would happily go back if in that area in the future. The only thing I think they should address is the lack of clarity as to how to get in -- via the Green Room entrance, not the one by the hotel sign (which was locked).
