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.

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!

Really nice hotel - cozy comfortable room. However, the website says sea views, outdoor pool, spa, mini bar and dressing gowns. Not sure where they were hiding but didn’t find any of them.

It was like the walls were made with paper. I could hear people in other rooms, walking down the corridor and even someone being sick. The noise from the road was also let in by the very old windows. I get that it is probably a listed building, but in terms of a good rest, it failed to deliver.

Seeing a 9.2 rating on Expedia set a very improper expectation (Ritz and Hilton level quality) as the reality was much different. Staff were friendly and location was good but that’s about where the positives end. The single rooms are INCREDIBLY small, even for European standards (expect something like a dorm or hostel). Heat was intermittent. Busy street so it quite loud through the evening. No real desk or work station. Backpacking across the UK? This is likely fine Travelling for Business? No way

The hotel was well-situated close to town. Staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. However, the weather was very cold, and the heater didn't seem to work - I should have asked. The worst drawback, was that the front entry system was very difficult to access, and needs upgrading asap.
