Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

8/10 Good

"Easy to find and park at the hotel - clean room and staff were helpful. Breakfast was decent too. There was an iron and board in the room and WiFi was good enough for teams calls."

The Mill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was our 2 time staying there and it was great a usual. Always beautiful rooms and friendly staff."

Orwell Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location for my work place and close to town centre for shopping etc."

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was clean and spacious. Twin in the separate wing. Food in the restaurant was awful at dinner and they’d be better serving basic English food rather than attempting foreign cuisine. It was adequate for my purpose of dropping off a teen at university. Parking was great although very full, WiFi good and location central. All being said I’d stay again when I visit the university."

The Essex Golf and Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location, always enjoy"

Wivenhoe House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room, grounds and staff are amazing. We ordered a gift package for the room as a birthday celebration, cost of £9 for 2 chocolates is extortionate."

easyHotel Ipswich

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were tiny to get ready in but overall a cheap hotel for one night"

Holiday Inn Ipswich by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the staff at this hotel. Everybody was smiling friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean. The room was quiet with very comfortable bed and pillows. The food was good. All in all very welcoming and a lovely stay for us"
