Summary: A recently renovated room and bathroom that was spacious, clean and comfortable. Walking distance to shopping and food precinct with a variety of shops, cafes and bars.

Debbie Aug 23, 2025 01:13:03 AM

Summary: Upon arrival all seemed ok. Was given the key and told was in the annex . Was a little disappointed but thought benefit of the doubt. Alas ( If you are giving someone an Annexe would be nice to be informed upon booking) . It was very tired looking and had an awful musty smell. We opened the windows for a while but had to close as was going to a concert that night. After a good evening we returned. Unfortunately the smell had not dissipated at all. Opened the window again which stayed open all night. But didn’t make a difference. The bed was awful it was lumpy and every time you moved made a very loud creaking noise. We didn’t have a good nights sleep at all. Because of this it spoilt the second part of our evening. Couldn’t under why the bar was shut at 10.30 as we were told it would still be open, All in all not a good experience and will not visit this hotel again or recommend to anyone.

Joanne Aug 22, 2025 07:50:16 PM

Summary: Lovely hotel, very friendly and helpful reception staff.Good location, free parking, attractive building. However, in my opinion the bed and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. I did not sleep at all well.

Anthony Aug 19, 2025 11:13:14 PM

Summary: We used this hotel as we were seeing Tom Jones at Colchester castle. So location was fab, beautiful old building and the manager had a wealth of knowledge about the property. Downside. Both our room and our friends room smelt of damp when we arrived and therefore we had to keep the windows open. Our room had a lot of damp and the drain on the shower was very mouldy. And sadly the bar closes at 10.30pm which is a shame as the concert finishes at 10.15 so by the time we walked back we couldn’t have a night cap.. so ended up going to a bar further up the road, shame as it would have been nice to sit in the bar..

Summary: This historic property is interesting - but don’t have a lot of luggage like we did! However, if you love character and unique accommodations, this is for you.

Aug 4, 2025 07:15:00 PM

Summary: I have been in better places for less. The breakfast was ok, over priced for what it was. The room itself was ok but definitely needs a makeover, very outdated. Cracks in walls, paint peeling off. Bathroom was not fully cleaned. Biggest issue was just how hot the room was. Incredibly stuffy, fan was provided but needs ac or something better. Even with windows left open all night. Bathroom floor felt.like it was heated? But no way to turn off. Again very very warm. Also ceiling light over the dresser/mirror was out making it hard to get ready for wedding.

Sushina Jul 14, 2025 03:15:49 AM

Summary: Our welcome was fantastic, the grntleman at reception was very warm, welcoming and helpful with knowledge of the local area. We stayed in room 132 & although it was hot weather wise the room especially the bathroom was hotter than the sun, which made our stay very uncomfortable & not enjoyable to be in the room.

Michael Jul 6, 2025 08:34:57 PM

Summary: The staff in the hotel were brilliant.

Mike Jul 3, 2025 04:44:55 PM

Summary: The hotel is located on a busy high street and is of the Tudor styling. It was a decent sized car park and my room was in the adjoining annex building. Check in was quick and the room was only a few seconds away from where my car was parked. The room itself was quite compact but functional and they had a good, working fan which was necessary for the 90 degree weather we had for that day. There were lots of dining options within a 15 minute walk allowing me to keep the car in its prime spot. The shower was nice and powerful and the bed very comfy which led to a good night's sleep. Breakfast was prompt and cooked well although it lacked taste. All in all it was a pleasant stay but there wasn't the value for money I look for.

Summary: Friendly customer service, ideal location, will stay again
