Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the town. It is in an old building so has charm and historic interest. Staff were helpful and friendly and rooms and common areas clean amd well maintained."

The George of Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"It was a fantastic experience and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! The staff bent over backwards to help me and my young son out and we even ended up staying an extra two nights, because we couldn’t bear to leave! Cannot recommend this hotel enough! Thank you The George, we’ll be back soon!"

Colchester Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the Colchester Boutique Hotel before. Lorraine made us very welcome and she was very helpful on giving us directions before we arrived. Our room was full of character, very clean with luxurious bath products, a good range of teas/coffee and complimentary water on arrival. There is a fabulous Indian restaurant next door called Basca but we didn't have time to visit as we were here for a gig at the Colchester Arts Centre which was only a short walk away. Roland looked after us the next morning for our breakfast which provided a good selection of choices. The parking was so useful and meant that we could explore a lot of Colchester whilst remaining in the centre. We highly recommend staying here and we will be back later in the year!"

Central Colchester - Just 3 minutes walk to Colchester Castle and High Street!

10/10 Excellent

"Old Carriage House converted into a wonderful apartment. We loved the location of this stay. We were just a short walk down from Colchester Castle and High Street, where we could find a wide range of pubs, restaurants, and shops. The city centre train station was just a short walk away as well. Thank you to our host for the awesome check-in and also for the lift to the "other" train station for our trip back into London. If we are ever in the Colchester area again, we will definitely stay here again. : )"
