Have stayed here several times for its convenience as a great location for a stay in Colchester - right in the heart of the high street. I have always been very happy but on this occassion we left before sunrise & skipped the breakfast we had paid for. Had it not been for having had a few drinks, we would have in fact left in the middle of the night.
Its an historic hotel with charm but it is what it is, old & lacking mod cons. Not a problem at all normalky but on this ocassion we had a room facing the High Street. The noise from happy party people, the pub which was open into the wee small hours, people waiting on buses & taxis was relentless & it was impossible to sleep one wink. I accept a High Street hotel in any city, particularly a builing of this age will not be soundproof but you could hear word for word peoples conversations in the street below.
More significant though was a barely tepid shower as the water just never heated up. Additionally the room was not clean. There were cobwebs & dust in the beams & the bed was just awful. The divan base was splattered with some sort of liquid, possibly some blood. The matress had springs almost ready to pop out & my partner had an awful back ache as a result & could barely drive us back home pillows ( 2 squashed into one pillowcase each) were too big & lumpy.
Ill stop there as you get the drift. Dont be put off stsying but do make sure you dont get a room at the front. We will only stay again in a room at the
back

Our bed was very comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great, We would recommend for a stay in Colchester as it is in the centre of town. Perfect for shopping, attractions i.e. the castle, theatre and pubs and restaurants etc.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great value for money and nothing was too much trouble. Only issue we had was that the window wouldn't stay open and because it was very warm in the room we had to place a drawer in position to wedge the window open a little to get some air into the room, but otherwise it was clean a great pit stop for what we wanted.

Ours was a one nighter. We were greeted with an amazing front of house staff member called Angela who couldn’t do enough for us, even helped us to secure our luggage as we had arrived early. The other front of house staff were fantastic as was our breakfast host who provide us with a top notch breakfast and gluten free options. The Red Lion is an amazing pub to stay in. it’s ancient history just adds buckets to its charm. None of its walls are straight. As for value for money it is a steal at what paid. As for Colchester, it should be called Cool Chester, it’s a wonderful, vibrant city that has just so much to offer. We liked it better than York, and we did really like York. It’s a very old easy to walk around hub of ancient treasure and fun.

A historical hotel from 1400 with large rooms , staff who all care about their job and the place they work, reasonable rates, tasty breakfast and a 100s of years old ghost to go with it . Hidden secret in Colchester in the middle of town, would definitely come back !

My daughter stayed here rather than me. Good location but room was old with hole in wall so could clearly hear guest in next room talking on phone. Also bed leaned to the side.
Breakfast OK and staff friendly.

The central heating doesn't come much. Luckily I complained and got use of an extra heater. The mattresses are old and you can feel the springs. Disappointing got the price

I enjoyed my stay. Central, Fascinating history, and amazing staff.

Never stay here. Absolutely unclean. Great central location however opposite a night club that doesn’t finish till 4am with taxi queue until about 5 Our ceiling leaked during the night. Couldn’t report it as phone didn’t work. Told staff next day and was told cleaner would pull out bed away from the wall!! Asked for toilet roll but never got any so had to buy some at tescos. Shower was a trickle. Walls and floor and curtains absolutely awful. We stayed in room 6. Couldn’t move without the floorboards making an horrendous racket. Staff however were pleasant enough if not slightly strange to be honest. I was offered a free stay my the receptionist next time and I told him you couldn’t pay us to stay there again. Breakfast I have to say was ok but I was scared of who was cooking it to be fair and what the cleanliness of the kitchen was if the rest of the place was absolutely awful. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Very old historical building but tired and needs a thorough cleaning. Nice architecture but could be so much better.

While the building is a must see if you appreciate history, the 'modern' fittings were tired and predominantly broken (blinds on velux windows that were long gone, broken bath panels and no working radiators in our 'executive' room for example).
The advertised restaurant was closed and the bar was locked on one night, and unmanned on our second.
Breakfast was buffet cereals and fruit with served cooked, this was fine, though as I can't eat eggs I always like it when a hotel offers to replace with another item, sadly this was not the case here. I do also feel I need to comment on the breakfast tea and coffee. I do drink a lot of coffee, and am almost certain I was served Nescafe instant in a coffee pot! Equally my wife's tea was made with the cheap flavourless tea bags, we skipped hot drinks on the second morning!
In summary we felt the hotel had huge potential, but has tried to cut every cost. While I appreciate times have been hard in the industry other hotels have made effort to wow us so we want to come back, sadly the Red Lion feels like it's given up, which is so sad for such an amazing building.

It as a beautiful 1400 Grade 1-listed building, which was great, but I had problems with the shower. In my initial room the water was lukewarm at best. I was moved to another where the water was hot but the shower was weak. The staff were excellent and the breakfast was good. They had soya milk for my coffee.

The ambiance of the hotel was very welcoming and it was what it said, a Tudor building. It was what we wanted, Quirky. All the staff were excellent, friendly and most helpful. The only negative was that the street outside was very noisy at night but that is not the fault of the hotel as we were in the centre of Colchester. Over all it was a very positive experience.
