We were very pleased with our stay at the Dragon Fly and found it very comfortable for the purpose of our trip to UK.

Comfortable clean homely

Lack of lift to bedrooms, making it difficult for person with challenges to climb stairs

Hollywood goes to Colchester.

Nice comfortable and clean rooms. Breakfast was fine too. Free parking. Overall good value for money and would stop again.

Location isn't the best for getting to town or the football but a £10 taxi is a good option. If exploring the area in your own car the location is fine.

Nice hotel at a good price.

Great find. Stayed couple nights and had a great stay. Check in was smooth and easy as the staff were friendly and helpful. Room was really nice and clean and beds were comfortable. During the week they do a burger or pizza and a pint for £9.95 and it was very good. Had a brilliant stay and would definitely stay again.

Very poor value for money ( £125+ for night)

The man on duty at breakfast time was helpful.

No breakfast option apart from cooked. Had message supposedly from hotel saying that I would be given a shower cubicle as requested ( I have bad back) but on arrival was told that the hotel had no cubicles, only baths! Room poorly lit and lamp broken. Only one chair for two of us.

A complete lack of staff meant that things like the restaurant were unused.

The place was comfortable and clean

Completet lack of staff, i.e. only one person on duty also managing the bar, one chef was on in the evening despite hotel being full. No one around at breakfast time, so no coffee, no bacon for 10 minutes & only small plates available. Also fire alarm went off at 5 AM, I observed no staff to help evacuate residents, some were disabled.

Good overnight stay for traveling through the district.

Spacious bar, restaurant, sitting areas and outdoor terraces. Quiet.

The shower curtain and areas of the bathroom needed replacing.

Fantastic room and service by front of house excellent. Nice restaurant and bar and outside seating area was ideal in the warm weather. Breakfast was ample and well cooked. The hotel also had plenty of parking Would definitely book again

Wouldn't go back even if it was free!!!!! Avoid like the plague!!!!!

It was a room with a bed. There is nothing good that i can say past that

The cleanliness of the room was below standards, the bathroom hadn't been cleaned properly as there were faeces stains in and on the toilet seat and on the lid. There were marks on the surround of the sink that came off with one wipe of a wet wipe so it is evident it hadn't been cleaned. The shower head hadn't been cleaned and there were hairs in the bed. There were empty vodka bottles on top of the cupboard that were visible as soon as I walked in. The carpet had crumbs, hairs and rubbish on it under the desk. I spoke with the receptionist to request it was cleaned and she stated "there was no one there to do that" and proceeded to go back to her mobile phone. The breakfast in the morning was beyond a joke considering I had paid extra for breakfast. It was self service which I understand is the preferred way of doing things now but the bacon was undercooked, the sausages were over cooked, the scrambled eggs were swimming in liquid making them mushy, there were no tomatoes and the beans looked and tasted like they had been reheated several times. The hashbrowns were still frozen in the middle. There were no pastries, no porridge, no fruit, no yogurts and two options for the cereal.

The staff were lovely, and so helpful, the room was comfy and clean, room view wonderful

as for breakfast, I felt that the price I paid was a lot, I know in the main it was cooked, but all I had was a small piece of bacon, two slices of bread and a cup of tea which cost £12, I feel there should be something in the middle, which would be a better option

Hidden Gem, very welcome break.

Warm and friendly welcome. Tom Chelsea were extremely helpful and hard working a credit to the hotel. Hotel was clean and modern, room was very clean comfortable and smelt lovely attributed to Elaine (head housekeeper) Pat,Tara and Kim who all do an amazing job they deserve a payrise.

The breakfast times were between 6 and 9.30 too early for a Sunday.

Very good

Friendly staff, very welcoming and helpful.

A few cobwebs around the extractor fan and a few marks on the side of the bath. Bed had been reduced to a double but the surround was still for a kingsize which made the side tables a distance from the bed. The quilt was a double but the cover was a kingsize which meant one side was mostly just cover.

lack of facilities really ruined stay

location was really good

everything was fine and a great location

it all went well including a welcome from Jordan and setting up radiator by his colleague ?dave -

the bath enamel is rusted on the top ledge which was unsightly - the tiled wall had strands of hair caught on it in the middle of the wall so should have been seen - not the end of the world but a bit unsightly

Disappointing

The bed was very comfortable

Room: Missing basic items (Water Glasses, Hand Soap, Plug sockets beside the bed), Towel rail hanging off the wall. Wallpaper peeling off Environment: One of the nights electrical hum majority of the night made difficult to get to sleep. Breakfast: Very basic, no fruit. limited choice

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, and I really hope other people do not have to experience

The staff were polite and approachable on arrival

Our room was freezing cold, so we tried to turn on the radiator and discovered this did not work, which in winter is something that should be in working order if people are paying to stay in your rooms. We checked the window to find that it was broken and does not close properly and this would explain why the room was so cold. The bed sheets had a stain (which looked like dried blood) on them, the room was dusty and the bathroom had other peoples hair in the bath which again is not acceptable when people are paying for their stay. We are not normally people to complain but unfortunately that explains how disappointing this stay was.

Slow service at dinner. Breakfast only warm and the croissant roll was stale
