Wedding at The George 05 2024

Great location - Room size is okay - Bed and pillows were nice - water pressure good

NO GPS can find this hotel - When I did end up finding the car park I ended up having to pay twice for the car park, once via machine, then within the hotel, just a pain. was a part of a Wedding party, but as booked via booking.com, missed out on the breakfast included and upgrade - Was not worried about the breakfast as it ended at 09.30, which I feel is way too early ! Room was cold. No lift ( had large bags) - bar prices very expensive -

Generally quite good

The lounge area was nice and the staff there were friendly.

The room 212 was at the back so had no WiFi at all, which was generally ok on the days we were busy but on the evening where we wanted to relax and not do anything, was quite annoying.

The George is in the centre of Colchester and just a short way from the Csstlr. The room was clean and comfortable.

It was clean, comfortable, and central,

There was no view at all. There was no fresh air.

Not a first choice

The shower was good and bathroom had good lighting.

My bed was hard. There was only a duvet, no top sheet, which makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the duvet. I was itchy in the bed. The room was dusty as it hadn't been stayed in in awhile. The room I was put in was way at the top of the building, not that I have an issue with stairs, but the floor upstairs is so old it's uneven making you feel drunk when you walk on it. There wasn't a hairdryer in the room, not that I expect it, just that it's usually a given in most hotels. I didn't sleep well.

What an incredible place to stay - the history of the place is redolent everywhere.

The architecture, the welcome, the rooms, the sleep and the breakfast were all outstanding. It's a step back in time – in a good way – there's even an exposed C14th wattle-and-daub wall, but that is all blended with modern hotel facilities and service. Truly a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend the George as a place to stay in Colchester and will be back if I'm in the area again.

The shower was OK, just OK. But it didn't detract from the stay at all.

History, comfort and attention to detail make this a memorable hotel.

The history. The bar. The bathroom

The room could have used a little more furniture -- e.g., a second chair.

would recommend

location good on the high street with car park to rear of hotel

my room was noisy with other residents passing by my door, as the hotel is quite old floorboards are very squeaky, which is a little annoying

Disappointing!

The 3/4 rooms in the actual hotel were lovely. Decor.

I had booked 4 rooms in The George but 1 had to be across the road instead. Not at all happy! This is NOT what I booked. The room in the St Nicholas was over the road, noisy with windows open but no air con, so then boiling. A nice room but I had specifically wanted to stay at the George, so no frills for us! Girl on reception on check-in was very flippant when I was clearly upset that this had happened. She said it would all be in the booking details from Booking.com - which it wasn’t. It transpired that in fact the problem was with the hotel and it’s allocation of rooms from a central reservation?? The next day breakfast was given complimentary as a token of an apology.

Bad

I booked to this hotel via booking .com Try to give my wife some relaxation I rely on her being disabled myself I wanted to take the strain off her but My wife was taken very ill travelling to the hotel So we couldn't make the stay. Hospital instead.. They refused to return our money No emotion Was told the management would call me Nothing heard from them They not interested. This is how they treat the disabled

lots of promise but let down by poor pillows, street noise and heating that you had to wait to come on to warm room

great building with a real sense of history

pillows were very poor resulting in a poor nights sleep

Wish housekeeping staff/hotel staff were more honest

Gorgeous hotel with lots of history. Friendly staff and cute pub

I accidentally left my jacket in the wardrobe in the room when I checked out. When I called and emailed the next day to inquire about my jacket, the staff said it was not found. This is very disappointing as it was hanging in the wardrobe when I left. Surely it would have been found by housekeeping and turned into the lost and found. I find it unfathomable that the hotel staff said it was not found. I know it’s my fault for forgetting the jacket, but it seems suspicious that it was “not found” by housekeeping less than 24 hours after checking out. Very disappointing.

lovely stay, beautiful room. would absolutely return

beautiful room, bath was absolutely amazing

no room service in the evening as too busy - was definitely a disappointment as wanting cocktails. however, still excellent service all round otherwise and I could see that the restaurant and bar was heaving
