Ok check in. I E cold room. Old School quilt, no down comforter in sight. Stone hard pillow. Breakfast. Sweaty cheese, cheap ready cut bread, absolutely no cut vegetables. They made eggs. And a full British breakfast. That’s not for me and the rest of the world. No umbrellas at front of house. Dirty British wall to wall carpets. They had an ok bar with very strange wine glasses.

Very pleasant stay - old quirky hotel right in centre of Colchester. Parking was fine just behind the hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. My only comment would be that the stairs are quite steep leading up to the top so request a room on first floor if steep flights of stairs may be a concern - but for me it was a great stay and would return next time in Colchester. Thank you

Friendly staff, comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Cannot fault the Hotel itself. One small criticism would be the information about parking is far too brief. Unkess you are already familiar with the car parking situation in Colchester Town Centre and the App itself, the system generated email did not offer any useful assistance whatsoever. Unsurprisingly the car park was half full, as people like myself used more easily accessible sites (and with far simpler payment methods)

When i cam down for breakfast there was a room filled with customers, and only 2 members of staff servicing. As they were both busy they did not notice that i had been waiting at the entrance to the room as the instructions clearly indicated. In the end because of waiting for a long time i decided to find a seat. In that time a waitress asked for my breakfast order, but explained that it would be longer than 15min. As i had already waited i was running late for work. So I only requested coffee. Despite paying for breakfast. I did not have time to discuss this at check out because of the delays to the start of my day

Hotel staff are great. I've stayed at both properties in Colchester several times and everyone is so helpful and kind. Rooms are adorable. Bed is super comfy. Breakfast is good. I love that they are right in the middle of High Street and close to everything. Highly recommend staying here!

Authentic and long history.

Not such a great nights sleep with all the street noise but otherwise good.

Room was modern and clean. TV fitted to the wall in slightly odd position. Food service stopped at 8:30pm and the numerous instructions re parking didn't seem to make parking any easier, ended up with long walk up the hill to hotel and £10+ spent on parking.
