The staff were really friendly and the hotel was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and newly fitted. The breakfast was really good too. An easy walk into Colchester town centre made it an ideal location.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Over all stay satisfactory
The room allocated was an end room with an opening door onto the street which was very noisy and the bed very uncomfortable and hard, the shower head needed attention as rusted and hard to manoeuvre which an elderly person could not do as it’s was a disabled room which made me laugh as you have to go up and down 3 lots of stairs to get to this room stuck as far back as I can be from the reception , staff on entering very cold and blunt but the DIY guy very pleasant and helpful , breakfast ok but not worth £11 and the girl serving needs to cheer up around guests as miserable as sin, loverly place overall hunted or not.
