    tasty breakfast

    Just an appropriate option for shopping in Colchester with extraordinarily good value for money. The breakfast was tasty, but it took a long time to arrive. Come early for breakfast to avoid the wait.

    top-floor room
    charming balcony
    noisy lift

    Had a lovely top-floor room, much quieter than the noisy front. the lovely little balcony was a charming surprise!

    The lift was more like a sauna, and my room had as much air flow as a sealed jar. Not ideal for a good night's snooze!

    handy location
    comfy room
    good breakfast
    stained towels

    Modern vibe with great location

    Had a decent stay here! Location is super handy, just a quick stroll from the bus stop. My room was comfy but the air con needed some TLC. Quick breakfast at the George was good enough to kickstart my day. A bit bummed about the stained towels though, wasn’t ideal.

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    My stay was absolutely delightful! The spacious Standard Double Room was not just clean, but incredibly comfortable, allowing me to really unwind after a day of exploring. The hotel's location is a gem too – just steps away from local attractions like a historic castle and bustling shops!

    comfortable room
    nice staff
    confusing check-in
    poor air conditioning

    The hotel was comfortable with a nice room, but the air conditioning was hard to control and check-in was a bit confusing, having to go to another property. While the overall stay was decent, clearer directions for parking and improved service would have made it better.

    comfy bed
    friendly staff

    would come here again

    Location is spot on, right on the high street. My room had a comfy bed, iron, kettle, and flat-screen TV. The modern bathroom was clean, with free toiletries and a powerful shower. Staff were super friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The entry system felt really secure, which is nice for peace of mind.
