    I liked how the hotel looked, absolutely brilliant and exceptionally comfortable place. The location was comfortable and peaceful for exploring this domestic area, near to the zoo, and restaurant. Also, there was The Munnings Art Museum, set within 5 minutes drive.

    It's decent base for visiting some must see attractions in Colchester. The staff is genuinely helpful and very friendly, makes sure that the place is spotless. The location is comfortable, so close to the restaurant for a meal and Sea and Colchester and zoo - couldn't be better.

    The room was clean and comfortable, the staff very friendly and the continental breakfast was plentiful. All this at a great price. Security was good as you need a key pass card to access corridors to rooms. We ere very impressed and will definately stay there again in the near future.

    Comfortable stay with nice breakfast

    Spent a night here. The room was really clean and pretty spacious. Staff were super friendly and helped us out. Breakfast was tasty, especially liked the variety. Just wish the air conditioning wasn't so cold when we arrived. Took forever to warm up. The bar was nice too, open late which was great.

    Buses that go to Colchester town centre run every two hours so it may not be convenient if you plan to take a bus.

    uncomfortable beds
    small room

    Breakfast was super handy, especially being able to take it to go. Location is good too for a quick stop during ferry trips, and the castle park nearby was a nice surprise for the kids after long hours in the car. Easy check-in n clean room.

    But the sofa bed was really uncomfy for the kids and the beds were smaller than expected. Would have liked more space in the room.

    comfy bed

    Perfect for a couple's getaway

    Bed was really comfy. The room was lovely and dark when going to sleep, perfect for a much needed rest after long days on the road.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but still acceptable.
