Very comfortable, the staff were excellent we would definitely stay again.

Pros: Maintaining the age of the hotel without affecting the modern comforts.

Cons: Unfortunately due to the age of the hotel there’s no lift. This wouldn’t have been too much of a problem apart from being allocated an attic room which was at the top of a steep flight if narrow stairs. Having asthma and arthritis this would’ve made life very difficult. However having spoken to the young man on reception he gave us a more accessible room without as many stairs.

Enjoyable

Pros: Excellent location, right in the centre of the town. Car park at the back of the hotel, we paid for 48 hours which was £24. Staff on reception were really helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and cooked to order. Selection of cereals, juices, pastries etc. Had a meal in the restaurant on the Saturday evening, lovely staff and very nice food.

Cons: Even though the hotel was excellent and the location was great...it's on the High street and extremely noisy at night especially a Saturday night. So not much sleep. That's not the hotels fault but it did spoil it slightly.

Lovely hotel, good value, friendly staff and excellent location with parking

Pros: Lovely hotel, car park at the back (so very convenient, although you do have to pay), and staff very friendly and welcoming. Lovely decor in the hotel, great size room for two of us, decent breakfast.

Cons: Only instant coffee provided in room - but that's our only complaint.

If you are in Colchester, you might as well.

Pros: The hotel is just fantastic. There is barely a floor or wall that is on the level. This is due mainly to the age. I'm sure Cromwell would have drunk there if he wasn't so boring. Great bar, too. Location spot on. A short walk to the castle. No wonder them Romans wanted it.

Cons: The cold. Out side that is.
