Return guest. Perfect for our needs, location spot on. Breakfast lovely, but Sunday was a little short on items, not up to usual standard. No plates available. so maybe a new staff member not used to breakfast service??? Room large, clean and comfy. In room drinks great, large cups, and if you run out go to restaurant and pick up more. No complaints. Bathroom standard fare, shower HOT and powerful, smallest gripe was temperature was tricky to select, small movement could have big change, but once set it was wonderful.

I’ve 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.

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 couldn’t find) but ended up in one with no hot water.

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.

Breakfast choice was abysmal. This was an experience not to be repeated.

The hotel entrance is lovely which belies the real state of the decor which is very outdated and carpets, particularly in the hallways really old and smell. Room was fine, fan provided which was welcome. The staff were welcoming, and hardworking. Continental breakfast was a disaster as there was nothing left when we went down at 9am Sunday morning. Not even a toaster . No croissants or yogurt or fruit. Staff were embarrassed but management should ensure there is enough food when breakfast has been paid for in advance. Its a beautiful setting and quiet . Bed was comfy and water hot so lots of positives too.
