This is our second stay at The George. Our room was amazing especially as it had A/C on what was a very hot day. Stairs are a challenge with suitcases but expected with the age of the property. Bar and breakfast staff were abrupt but we put it down to the heat! All other staff were very good we will come back again!

This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks.

Would stay again - old quirky hotel

Very pleasant stay - old quirky hotel right in centre of Colchester. Parking was fine just behind the hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. My only comment would be that the stairs are quite steep leading up to the top so request a room on first floor if steep flights of stairs may be a concern - but for me it was a great stay and would return next time in Colchester. Thank you

The George Colchester

Room was okay, a little overpriced. Was going to have dinner at the restaurant (which had 1 table on a Monday night) stood in the restaurant area with my colleague for a while no one came, none of the servers who were standing at the bar acknowledged us, so we walked out and went elsewhere for dinner.

It’s a no!

Ok check in. I E cold room. Old School quilt, no down comforter in sight. Stone hard pillow. Breakfast. Sweaty cheese, cheap ready cut bread, absolutely no cut vegetables. They made eggs. And a full British breakfast. That’s not for me and the rest of the world. No umbrellas at front of house. Dirty British wall to wall carpets. They had an ok bar with very strange wine glasses.

breakfast

When i cam down for breakfast there was a room filled with customers, and only 2 members of staff servicing. As they were both busy they did not notice that i had been waiting at the entrance to the room as the instructions clearly indicated. In the end because of waiting for a long time i decided to find a seat. In that time a waitress asked for my breakfast order, but explained that it would be longer than 15min. As i had already waited i was running late for work. So I only requested coffee. Despite paying for breakfast. I did not have time to discuss this at check out because of the delays to the start of my day

Beautiful hotel room and the bar is stunning! But if you have a room overlooking the high street expect some noise especially on a Saturday night. This didn’t impact us as we were up late anyway.

Lovely old property, lots of character and charm. Staff are friendly and welcoming, some I feel are under pressure from senior management, It feels like they are short staffed. Which adds pressure to the rest. But they cope with a smile. Be nice to see more staff which would definitely increase the customer experience and enjoyment. Word of mouth is the biggest compliment to any business. Thank you to all the staff on the front line.
