Top Jumbo Water Tower Hotel Reviews

GreyFriars

10/10 Excellent

"A great location if you're spending time in Colchester town center, visiting the castle and sampling the many wonderful pubs and restaurants in the area. The rooms were nice and roomy. They did tell us ahead of time that the room was on two floors (bed upstairs and lounge/study downstairs), a nice layout although a bit of a trip hazard if you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and don't want to wake your partner. The staff were friendly and attentive."

St Nicholas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room staff was nice"

Star Anglia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night, friendly welcoming staff, our room was clean,the bed was very comfy, there was parking and there were shops on the same street. Very close to town . We would definatley stay again"

Cottage in the centre

8/10 Good

"Very nice cottage in ideal location for the town centre. Check in was smooth and the cottage was very clean and tidy. My husband and I stayed with our adult son who was house hunting in Colchester. It might not be suitable for someone with poor mobility as the stairs were very narrow and steep and the bathroom was downstairs, but it was fine for us. Also very well equipped. Leaving a brolly would have been useful as we got caught in a shower walking to the car park...!"

Premier Inn Colchester Town Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were amazing"
