Guest Reviews
We wanted somewhere close to the castle, as we were attending a concert. It doesn't get much closer than this. The room was perfect, comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly too. Perfect stay
Nothing
Well maintained
The dining room was too dark , the room adjoining could have been lit to enhance the lighting
Room nice but on a very noisy road although I requested a quiet room, and had a junior suite and checked it would be quiet ahead of arriving.
Road noise meant no sleep for me. The robes are a strange polyester not like usual cotton hotel robes so a bit icky after bathing. Really disappointed that my letting the hotel know I left an item while also sending thanks was ignored. I followed up and am told for a considerable fee I can pay for it to be posted then the difference refunded. Hardly the kind of service of a five star hotel, it would cost about 3.50 to post. Colchester itself is in a poor state, shabby and aside from a few historic places just doesn't feel safe. It is not charming anymore.
Awesome hotel and very convenient for our stay
The hotel was spotless room exactly what we would expect. Breakfast perhaps not quite what I expected you could only have a cooked breakfast and nothing else or continental. However that did not worry us too much. The parking was great behind a gate. The position perfect right on the high street where everything was. They had a lovely courtyard with plenty of seating where you can get crink cocktails and food
Breakfast choice and quality was excellent.
Reception and bar staff were very good.
Secure Car Parking with no additional charges.
Hotel public spaces were beautiful, traditional and extremely well presented.
Standards of Cleanliness was very good.
Location of the Hotel was excellent.
The Hotel advertised being pet friendly and leave a bowl and a few treats in the room for arrival, however that is where the consideration for pets ends.
There is no dog poop bin to be found, and there is only one small grass area at the end of the car park for dogs personal needs. This was not well maintained and covered in leaves.
There is a additional charge over the very high room costs of £25 per night. I really question why? The room was not hoovered daily? there was no meals included for the dog and we were very restricted where we could take the dog for eating in Hotel. i.e. no separate or zoned area in breakfast room. We could eat in the bar where the tables are lower than your knees or on the terrace which was run over with squirrels sending my dog wild. The Dog room was also at the top of two flights of stairs the second of which was really steep. Not ideal for taking the dog out for wee's etc.
Amaing location and lovely place
Perfect location on the edge of the town. The hotel is stunning. Secure parking.
The breakfast was not good. We were told the fish was fresh, but was delivered 3days earlier and smelled and tasted bad. Sausage under cooked and the bubble and squeak was very over powering. Evening meal expensive.
Well presented & clean
Our room was up two flights of stairs with no lift.
The quirky rooms layout
The staffs friendliness
The food
Liked it all
Very nice breakfast but didn’t like some of the options that came with full English, disappointed there is no beans ?
Great location for walking into town, great room with big bed, air con, nice big bathroom with big silver bath
At Dinner they seem to of ran out of some items, filet steak and other food, the ice cream dessert was a very cheap and icey, also lack of flavours and also ran out so wasn’t much of a choice, took a while to get drinks, forgot soup spoons, forgot steak knife, but overall it was a really nice dinner
Well positioned in centre of city but very quiet ( at the back), parking on site. Good food well presented. . Friendly staff.
