Top Colchester Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Brook Red Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely historical hotel, Staff are very helpful friendly and welcoming The breakfast had a great choice and was very tasty Enjoyed a lovely evening in the bar Looking forward to coming back in September"

The George of Colchester

8/10 Good

"This was an excellent and comfortable option in the heart of Colchester. The room benefited from air con on such a hot weekend and we were in a quiet part of the hotel. Breakfast was cooked to order - my other half would have liked a fresh fruit salad (a basked of fruit was provided, to be fair). Unfortunately the WiFi was patchy throughout the building, not just in our room. If I’d had to do work it would have been impossible. We certainly couldn’t have watched a film online. If this could be sorted I’d say the hotel was worth 5 stars."

St Nicholas Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here a few times and this experience wasn’t our favourite. We had booked for breakfast and were forgotten about by the breakfast staff. My partner had to flag down a member of staff and ask if we could order. When the food did arrive, mine was burnt, it certainly wasn’t worth the £19. There was a large group of golfers in the restaurant and they appeared to get priority despite half of them not wanting to order any food. Over all it has left us wondering if we want to stay here again."
