Wonderful stay.
Excellent room and meal in the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was extremely busy with Christmas parties which meant we weren’t able to find a seat for a drink. Apart from this, the hotel didn’t disappoint.

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.

CHING SUNG, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

Class and character
The place has real character and was a pleasure to stay in. Breakfast was very tasty and the staff we met were all very pleasant.

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.

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
Mark, 1-night trip

We had a great stay in this lovely old hotel.
I am from Suffolk met my sister from London here and we stayed overnight in this lovely old hotel. We had a lovely evening meal, breakfast and afternoon tea and the service was very good and the staff were all very nice and friendly. Thank you all. We will definitely return.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
