Stayed in October 2023

Stayed 4 nights, ran out of TP after 3 nights, lack of room cleaning & fresh towels. Kitchen area was minimally ready, no plates or utensils, no cleaning stuff. Noisy at night, emergency sirens seemed to be going a lot - near local hospital. Seemed like the place was not finished, curtains were sloppy, no rugs, rooms empty to point of echoing… Rushed the finish to get paying customers?

Location, spacious room… excellent internet. Walking distance to most sights and nightlife. Train station a hundred feet away.

I was expecting a slightly larger bed

It was fine for what i needed. A nice big room clean and easy access to where I wanted to go. Had a fridge and some free water which was nice

I did find the sound of the traffic outside to be quite loud, however the hotel do make you aware of this when booking as they are located on a busy street. The rooms at the back would be much quieter.

I booked the Superior King room - this was huge and had a fridge which is very useful for storing food and drinks. There was a very good fan which was great as it was a hot day. Excellent hotel location near to town centre. Cyril the manager was extremely helpful sorting out a slight issue I had on arrival. Great shower too.

spacious room, very clean, easy check in

Stayed in June 2022

we only stayed one night and £120 was a bit steep but if we had stayed longer maybe a lower rate could have been possible.

it was very central right next to Colchester town station and a short walk from the town centre. the room was spacious and well equipped. parking was paid for in advance and we had very good instructions on how to find and access the room.

The room got very cold in the evening and we couldn't turn the heating on.

The room was very spacious and clean. Very close to city center with bus stops 5 min away.

This was not a Hotel - That description is untruthful. It is a set of self catering rooms. There was no signage for the premises or clue to entry - I spent 20minutes searching for the location and only gained entry after making a telephone call. I was guided down an alley and to a set of raw masonry steps to a door at first floor level with an electronic entry that the person I was on the phone to helped me gain entry. The building is on a busy and noisy roundabout. It was part painted externally. When I opened the window to get fresh air, I was overlooking the roundabout that was very loud and constant. There were smells arising from a fast food restaurant beneath. The curtains to 3 sets of windows were unable to keep out the street lights. The television did not work. I could say more, but suffice to say the room was poorly decorated and the furnishings and fittings were from an era more reminiscent of the 1970’s. After about 20 minutes, I left and went to a Premier Inn (clean, fresh, restful and a delight!) - this was the same price. I wished I had know of it before making a booking for this place. The profile of these premises and their description on your web site were a misrepresentation boarding on far worse. Frankly, I felt I had been scammed!

Never got the e-mail about how to check in or the unique access code. Had to book another hotell.

Said private parking but was public car park which cost £17. Very noisy as single glazed room next to major roundabout. They did send an email after booking was made saying that would be noisy but did not give an option to cancel the booking. No sheet provided for sofa bed.

Room large and warm, bed comfortable

I booked a King Suite but the room was NOT as described. The photo is laughable - I wonder where they got it!! They upgraded us to a room which they had not finished building! There were wires sticking out the wall. No internet, no tables/cabinets, no beside beside lights - just a main light with a bare bulb. There was an old closet, no drawers, no full mirror, just one small one propped against the wall on top of the toilet in the bathroom. Also the floor in the shower was uneven and wobbly- I could have slipped badly. There was no breakfast! There were sachets of coffee but the long life milk was off! The entrance was up one flight of stone steps & along an alley with dustbins before climbing another steep flight of stone steps. The main hotel door was shabby with peeling paint & there was a combination lock. Once inside the paint was again peeling off the walls. The rooms were up another flight of stairs- with our luggage & no lift. There was no reception, no staff, no person to greet us just a guy on a telephone! It was the WORST hotel I have ever stayed in & no hotel car park. All the posted reviews were made on the same day & are phony. It was an awful experience. Our stay was on June 3rd 2023 for one night. This was just an old building - it should not be available to the public. Unfortunately, we couldn't find another hotel in the time.

NOTHING - it was disgusting & an awful experience,

The room needs some tlc. Bathroom tiles around shower are broken and toilet cistern drips continuously . It’s extremely noisy due to traffic and people walking home and shouting . maybe I should have researched it better as I didn’t realise it was on a busy island , but that’s my fault . Parking is a few mins walk but it’s on a big public car park

it was warm

- Room was like a mini apartment set up. - any problems the hotel manager was a phone call away. - didn't need to deal with no one once i had arrived, just a key code access to both the hotel and room with a secure feeling. - rooms very large with everything you need for a longer stay if needed. - easy parking and directly in town. - i travel for a living and this hotel was overall one of the best i have stayed, very hidden location with a easy access plus i didn't hear or see anyone within the hotel.

I was sent an email warning of road noise and it was noisy. Double glazing of the windows would be a good investment.

The hotel is in the centre of town and next door to Colcher town railway station. Room 1 was spacious, clean and well maintained.

Brilliant large sized room, lovely modern bathroom and nice amenities. This hotel is in the PERFECT location for town centre access, right next to the town train station and shops and clubs. The door code system is so useful as you don’t need to remember to bring a key card each time. Swift and easy contactless check in. Will certainly be staying again.

Complicated arrival, with a lot of instructions, although the instructions were very accurate
