Had an amazing stay at The Courthouse. The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommended a stay here. The breakfast was absolutely delicious as was our meal in the restaurant. The rooms were immaculate and the amenities were of a high quality. We would definitely stay here again.

    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 Every thing we bought from the shops was out of date when we brought back to room.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.

    Due to the train strike by Greater Anglier (30 Sep 2023 to 04 Oct 2023), I had to stay in Colchester for a few nights for work purpose. When I checked in, I was greeted by Roland (the hotel manager). He helped me settle down in my lovely ensuite bedroom and enriched me with the history of Colchester. He provided excellent customer service for all the guests of the hotel. This hotel is highly recommended, and I hope everyone who goes to Colchester Boutique Hotel will feel comfortable and delighted.

    Beautiful hotel right in the center of Colchester with very convenient parking right behind the hotel. The hotel was so comfortable and the staff looked after us very well. We would happily stay here again if we ever return to Colchester. A particular special mention for the black guy ( sorry we didn't get your name ) who was very welcoming and made our stay that little bit more special - Thank you. :) Highly recommended Hotel to all visitors to Colchester.

    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.
