This is a good hotel, well run with good food. The only thing they could improve on is the information on their restaurant. It is Egon Ronay recomended but only the table d'hôte menu (excellent but limited) and bar menu is available Monday to Thursday. A full a là carte menu is available at the weekend. I was told by different staff that the restaurant was closed Monday & Tuesday (untrue) fully open (untrue) and, correctly, open all week but the full a là carte menu only available at the weekend. The hotel is well positioned with its own car park.

Our room was lovely - the bed was comfortable and inviting. The bathroom was massive, with walk in shower and a fabulous bath. We loved the use of complimentary dressing gowns and an iron and ironing board. The mini bar with five or six free drinks, plus the usual tea and coffee facilities, were all most welcome. Everything in the hotel was spotlessly clean. Staff were, without exception, friendly, helpful and professional. The classic Afternoon Tea was wonderful. Breakfast was also good and included in our overnight stay. A lovely treat for 24 hours!

Everything about the hotel and staff was excellent and could not be faulted apart from the cost of drinks which were very high. Fabulous little pub literally at hotel gate called The Foresters, strongly recommend.We were quite disappointed with Colchester itself and surrounding area so we found the location not great.Generally hotel is brilliant and we had great stay

Our room was not like the pictures and was across the road not part of the mail building - swimming pool not private with people say at booths drinking round it. Room has no coffee making facilities and room smelled of dinners. Behind shower millions of cobwebs and we were forgotten about for 25mins in breakfast.

Great hotel. Room was lovely, bed very comfy. There was air on which was easy to control and very welcome. Bathroom was fantastic with a large deep bath, double shower and double sink. There was a complimentary bar which was good. breakfast was really good with a great choice and as much of anything as you wanted, all waiter service. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great hotel to stay in in Colchester with that added luxury.

This hotel is very run down in all aspects. I would not recommend it. Room is not clean, phone hardly works dusty. Window curtains do not close. Did not have room service.
