University of Essex - Colchester Campus

Alumni nostalgic visit

Pros: Quiet, private location. Modern, clean facilities. Short walk from central campus. Ample parking and fees included in the booking. Picturesque park with lakes, rabbits and squirrels, very nice for relaxing strolls. Campus amenities open and accessible to visitors.

Cons: Not a thing!

Clean, good value typical essex university student accomodation. Suited my purpose exactly.

Pros: On campus which was perfect for me and very good value

Cons: Nothing exactly what i expected

You can feel you are a student.

Pros: Great opportunity feeling I am a student and good price with breakfast.

Cons: I understand no shampoo and water but I needed dryer and few hungers. and the bed was bumpy.

It was good, could be better!

Pros: The view from my room was lovely and the WiFi was excellent. It was easy to get to my classes from my room. It felt safe.

Cons: I didn't take the breakfast option because £49 per day was already too steep. I felt the spring in my body while sleeping on the bed but I just slept in it because I didn't want to get in the hassle of getting it exchanged. . The room was way too small and the bathroom even smaller. I kept banging into the door every time I went. Also, there needs to be a sign outside for smokers to please use the ashtray. Cigarette butts were strewn around and no one cleaned it for 18 days that I was there.

Pros: Excellent place to stay if you have any business at the university campus or around it. The rooms as basically part of the University student accommodation which has got shared kitchen but ensuite bathrooms. The rooms are neat and clean. Kitchen, even though shared was kept clean. Great value for money.

It was a nice and cosy stay.

Pros: Nice room and facilities, car park and a forest park next to the house.

Cons: Noisy doors

Good

Pros: Everything room was very clean bed was lovely staff was welcoming

Convenient budget stay in Colchester

Pros: Great value and convenient. Inclusion of the gym. Good base for exploring local coast eg Frinton beach huts for a nice sea side walk

Cons: I think the absence of basic crockery in the kitchen and utensils is a faff. That said because I knew in advance I can just pop my “camping crate” in the car (with pan, wooden spoon, plates etc), but if I came by train it’s quite a bit more hassle.

Low cost and perfectly adequate lodgings.

Pros: It’s quiet and a nice environment with friendly people.

Pros: Very convenient and easy process. The staff were great and give good information regarding my stay.

Cons: Room was not clean, if I had access to a Hoover I could have used it
