Colchester B&Bs

We arrived at 7pm and got checked in without any problems. The rooms were faded, tired and out dated. My room was incredibly hot because the thermostat was broken. The bathroom was the same as well. The shower in the bath was awful, as the shower curtain stuck to me like a wet cloth making the whole shower experience something out of a horror movie. However the price paid was reflected and i have stayed in worse and paid more for it. Although dated it was immaculately clean. The food, the hotel offers a restaurant however my advice is if you are able to go to another restaurant up the road then do!. As the menu is way over priced. £15 for 5 fish goujons and 5 chunky chips is very steep. The breakfast wasnt much better at all, again go to the local Harvester.

Sofia (‘manager’ if you could call her that !) is nothing but a bully, leaving a poor young PREGNANT girl by herself to show me pictures of restaurants she has been to recently and photos of her puppy ! The young girl (Shannan was her name I believe) was swept off her feet, running around doing a ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING and doing all she could to make my stay wonderful but unfortunately the stay was ruined by Sofia! when Shannan asked for help from Sofia (so called MANAGER!!!) she basically laughed and carried on doing nothing !, Sofia offered no help what so-ever and she should have a serious talking to ! I also heard her talking about Staff members personal lives and antics to other staff members which is not called for what so ever and is not what Customers and guests should be hearing as it is their personal life and she SHOULD NOT be disclosing any of that to anybody at all ! I stayed in February and she was the same, I travel for work often and I often stay at the dragonfly but even since the So called “Manager” Sofia started the place had gone down hill ! Shanna is an absolute star and should be praised to high heaven ! Thank you so much Shannan for going above and beyond for me and many many others !

Absolutely wonderful hotel all round. The room and balcony exceeded my expectations, and really pleased me, and my standards are very high and I submitted some specific requests. Top floor, room 904, advised now this one and 910 very popular. Both the room and balcony a really nice size too. Lovely facilities. Nice view of Colchester castle etc. Nice communal areas. The George hotel communal areas are wonderful too and lovely breakfast, great choice, beautifully cooked, and I requested to sit elsewhere as so many beautiful options, and for me generally and as need my own space, and peace as much as possible, and am still very aware re.COVID-19, I eventually arranged to sit in the lovely courtyard. Too busy and noisy for me in the main restaurant. Exemplary staff. I also really liked the fact that you could switch the bathroom ventilator off, otherwise it comes on when you put the light on. Of course one should always switch it on when using the shower and keep it on briefly afterwards. My first Surya experience. Sublime.

The location is on the main street, opposite Martha and McDonald's, and there are plenty of places to visit. There is a castle on the left hand side. The first floor of the hotel is a small restaurant, very comfortable, you can have breakfast, afternoon tea, and so on. The service is very welcoming and will help with the luggage to the room. The downside is that there is no elevator, but if the baggage is heavy, there will be a waiter to help, don't worry. The hotel is relatively large, Wi-Fi is not too stable, depending on the floor.

This is the best hotel in Colchester with high world class standards and hospitality. It delivers a great unique experience for one to remember for a lifetime. And its highlights are the Restaurant,Bar, Lounge and Terrace for dining. If one would like to treat themselves please don't miss this wonderful Hotel🥰

Great hotel with a lot of history to it, and as such a very nice place to stay at. Friendly and approachable staff. Unfortunately, I had booked two rooms without adequate facilities; one room did not have hot water and the other had a malfunctioning shower. Could have been bad luck, and I suspect the hotel management to be able to fix this issue.

We chose this hotel from an experience voucher we had bought for us, and I can say we chose a lovely friendly one. Parking was free to start with as we booked in at reception. The lady was very kind & changed without asking our room because of mobility issues with my husband. The Manager Ricardo offered to take us to town too. I must say our annex was super comfy warm and very cosy. We paid extra for breakfast which I must say I enjoyed my Salmon & Scrambled egg perfectly cooked by Daniel & my husbands full English both morning’s. We used the bar the 2nd night & were welcomed very much so by Maddison exchanging tails of our Zoo visit that day with hers & her children. I great place to stay in this beautiful Tudor hotel

Britain's oldest recorded town is now home to new generation bedrooms, each featuring an impressive 40" flat screen TV, bright, modern bathroom with a large shower head, and a brand new, slumber-inducing, king-size Hypnos bed at Premier Inn Colchester Town Centre. Immerse yourself in history and nature at Colchester Castle and Colchester Natural History Museum. Or, stay firmly in the 21st-century in the town's many high street shops and bars. If you fancy venturing further afield, Colchester Zoo is a 15-minute drive and there are lots of pretty Essex villages in the surrounding area such as Wivenhoe, home to Essex University.

The location of the hotel is easy to find and the environment is also good. The little brother at the front desk was very enthusiastic. When I found that the room could not be opened, he immediately called someone to help me solve the problem. The breakfast packaged by the hotel is self-service and you can eat very full. Next to it is Egypt University, only five minutes away from the hotel, adjacent to the national forest park, the air is fresh and pleasant.

First thing I noticed was the excellent friendly service at the front counter. This service continued at breakfast the next morning, which was very nice - it was a menu-style breakfast where you order a breakfast you would like. Breakfast with salmon had a small supplement. The room was mostly okay, although there were some stains on the bedsheet. Inclusion of earplugs was a nice touch as it is on the main road - I happen to like the city noise, but ended up using them to block out the noise of the fan (there is no air conditioning). The bathroom had nice toiletries although we noticed that the cold tap ran hot for quite a while before it got cold. Overall the stay was fine, but with lots of hotels available in Colchester it wouldn’t be my first pick to return.
