What a great place to stay. Clean, friendly, welcoming, a lovely breakfast. Stayed in a single room, but was cosy and nice.

The room was clean enough but there was a large crack in the toilet bowl and the bathroom sink did not drain. I'm glad we have only a small car as the the alley into the car park was very narrow but it was handy that there was an entrance straight from the car park into the hotel. The bed was a 300 year old four poster bed. It was beautiful but the mattress was long overdue needing to be replaced. There was a mattress topper but the old mattress just sank into the middle. I appreciate it's an old bed but it could be maintained and the mattress replaced to provide a comfortable night's sleep. The breakfast was continental style, lots of options including fresh fruit and pastries. Unfortunately the other guests had taken multiple plates piled high with food that we had to ask for a plate. The staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly. I'd recommend the hotel as the location was excellent and the price was very reasonable, just don't stay in the four poster room if you want a good sleep.

Absolutely amazing. Staff friendly. The room was so comfortable. Parking was easy and safe. A very short walk to high street. We loved it. Thank you x

Parking access is tricky but available so that is an advantage

Romm was great & comfortable bed. Good hot shower also. Do prefer a cooked breakfast but can't fault choice with the continental.

Loved the room. Great bay window and curtains. Breakfast was very good too.

Very comfortable, clean and friendly staff. With the added bonus of a top class Indian restaurant on site. Plenty of choice on offer for breakfast.

Lovely one night stay. Friendly staff, clean room and good breakfast.

The Hotel staff were very friendly on arrival, Danny made us very welcome. The room was clean, very cosy and well equipped. We enjoyed our continental breakfast with lots of choice. We also booked a meal at the Basca Indian restaurant next door on recommendation and the food was delicious! The hotel is situated right in the middle of Colchester so the shops were in easy walking distance, as was the castle and art galleries. We really enjoyed our short stay and will be back for another visit in the future!

overnight stay for a charity back tie ball, very good room, nice and quiet, good quality continental breakfast

Quirky little hotel. My room was a little run down and ideally would have done well to have a desk to work at. Staff were decent but the room Brian restaurant was quality. Really good. Brekkie was continental and that was spot on also.

The room has an old radiator that has been broken for months. The staff mentioned that the owner is usually available to fix it during weekdays, which means that this has been an ongoing problem that he refuses to pay to fix properly. He was not available that weekend and we were left with a shoddy portable radiator.

Informative check in. Cosy well laid out bedroom with a good shower. Clean, warm and comfortable.

Nice surprise very nice room a little small but very very good nice decor

Nice friendly place to stay with excellent value for the city center

Excellent small hotel. Very attentive staff. Updated bathroom. Vintage features. Easy walking distance to High Street and City Centre.

The room and the food and it’s woz a safe place

Excellent customer service. Comfortable and clean

I was very well looked after on a one night stay. The bed was comfortable, the staff were very kind and I enjoyed a delicious indian meal in their restaurant.

It was a lovely place to stay very quiet but there was a small problem couple above us was a bit noisy,also you could hear when they using the shower and flushing the toilet apart from that we had a good 2 day stay
