Everyone of the staff were very pleasant, friendly and very helpful. Quite exeptional ! Our family room was fantastic. Sharing like that provides us with so much more time together and it can be difficult finding somewhere suitable. This room was perfect.

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 Every thing we bought from the shops was out of date when we brought back to room.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

    Reception were very welcoming. The room was nice and had everything we needed. We had been worried about noise from the fairly lively bar but it wasn't a problem. The location was central and great for wandering around the centre of Colchester. The hotel has parking at £9.50 for 24 hours although we were lucky to get the last space. Both the full English breakfast options were really nice and arrived quickly (although we were up quite early for a Sunday morning).

    The apartment was very spacious and very clean. Can not fault the place. The host was in contact right up to and after we stayed. The area was right by the river and was so peaceful, especially after a busy day in the town centre. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in staying in Colchester, and I would definitely go back in the future.
