In a quiet village setting, just off the A12, outside the ancient Roman town of Colchester, this modern hotel offers great value with free parking and an indoor pool.

Staff were generally polite and friendly, and the hotel itself was nice. Options at breakfast were good, however the hot food was very greasy. Slept well apart from people thinking it's ok to let their kids run up and down corridors screaming at 7am on a Sunday!

We like Colchester for its character, its history and the many places around the area to visit. Some parts are a bit run down (where isn't?) and we hope this will improve over time. It's a great city and worth looking after.

Castle, good cinemas and theatres, Aqua Springs and Leisure World and First Site Gallery are all recommended.
Busy in shops and cafes as near Christmas but great Christmas lights on the High Street and in the town centre.

Colchester has much to offer especially to those interested in British history. Apart from the well known castle and museum there are several walking routes to follow. The Roman Circus museum and exhibition is worth finding as it demonstrated that Roman finds are still being discovered. The nearby village of Copford and the church of St Michael and All Angels with its splendid and rare wall paintings is well the trip out. Colchester is also a good base for discovering some of the quieter areas of the NE Essex countryside, coast and estuaries.

Colchester is hell on earth.
Colchester is hell on earth.
Dirty, fighting, the whole city centre drunk full of absolute idiots.
Dirty streets full of sick.
Every thing we bought from the shops was out of date when we brought back to room.
Bees Indian in the town centre, made us all ill. Serving curry with squirty cream and glacier cherry.
The people are very very rude! Absolute hell hole.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Colchester
The hotel's location is great for a city break to Colchester to explore the historic town. The area has some good restaurants, independent cafes and retail therapy e.g. Fenwick upmarket department store. The hotel staff were professional and very helpful, being able to provide local knowledge, and practicalities like closing a stuck bedroom window. The continental breakfast was good with a fair amount of choice. Free and secure on-site parking was a big plus too, with the solid entrance gates being shut from 9pm nightly.
The hotel is in a very convenient location just 5mins walk to the centre of town and a couple of minutes to Firstsite visual arts centre. There's a beautiful park nearby and Colchester Castle. The hotel is beautifully decorated and the rooms spacious with comfortable beds. Bathrooms are especially lovely with marble tiles and great showers.
The hotel is a historical landmark in the heart of Colchester. Expect a maze of corridors with black wooden beams and creaky floors. The room was likewise in style, with a comfortable bed. The breakfast in the historical dining room (once used to house a session of the parliament in ancient times) was excellent.
We wanted to stay in Colchester so the location was great. We booked a disabled room as I'm disabled and it couldn't have been better, very clean, spacious, great wet room and comfortable bed. The staff and restaurant in The George Hotel were very pleasant. Will definitely book again.
The hotel itself is great, I travel for work to colchester and frequently stay at this Holiday Inn. Always a great stay, great parking and brilliant location.
