The room was beautifully decorated but had issues with damp and cleanliness.

Just a solid selection for a city escape in Colchester with incredible value for money. Every morning there was a very good breakfast buffet that was delicious. Make sure to ask staff about the hotel's history for a nice touch.

Charming stay with a quirky vibe

Had a lovely single room in a cool old building. The bed was comfy. There was a nice ensuite. Only issue was the noise. people were talking and slamming doors all night, which made it hard to sleep. Breakfast was tasty, and the staff were friendly, just wish the vibe was a bit calmer.

The hotel has a great central location and charming historic building, but experienced some issues. The noise from the street was quite disruptive, and the room needed some updates. the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was decent, making it a reasonable place for a short stay.

A Charming Stay in an Historic Setting!

The staff made us feel right at home, promptly helping us with our bags. We loved the quirky architecture and enjoyed a delightful meal in the historic dining room. Don't miss afternoon tea, and be sure to explore Colchester's charming streets just a short walk away.

Great location with easy access to local attractions. The ambiance of the historic building adds charm to the experience. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast was basic but adequate for a quick start. a pleasant stay for a family visit. 😊

I enjoyed my stay in a Twin Room, and the breakfast was pretty good with a cheerful lady serving us. The lounge was perfect for kicking back, and having free Wi-Fi was a nice bonus. Just a heads up, the noise from the street could be a bit much at times, so maybe bring some earplugs! 😊

Location literally steps from the town's high street, ideal for exploring local sights. Breakfast served in unique historical surroundings adds an intriguing touch to the stay.

Old furniture appeared worn with noticeable chips, giving the room a less-than-fresh vibe. The bed felt uncomfortably firm, leading to restless nights, and the shower lacked adequate water pressure. Plumbing issues, like a toilet that required manual flushing, were also inconvenient. Sash windows added charm but let in street noise, which might not suit light sleepers.

would stay here again

Room was nice and cozy with a comfy bed, flat-screen TV, and electric kettle. The bathroom had a shower and all the essentials like shampoo and towels. Staff were friendly and offered ghost stories which added a nice touch. The location is perfect for the city center, making it easy to explore local attractions.

Highly recommend for families seeking history

The staff were delightful, really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. I especially enjoyed the fantastic historic Tudor building. it felt like stepping back in time.

It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but still acceptable for what we got.

Historic charm, attentive staff.

I really enjoyed my stay here! The room was spacious with a charming old-world feel, the food was delicious, especially the roast beef which was beautifully cooked, and the atmosphere was just delightful. Can't wait to come back!
