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...!"

Colchester Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Although room was nice , could have done with a touch up of paint as looking a bit tired and a number of nicks in the wall could do with touching up."

Premier Inn Colchester Town Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were amazing"

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. : )"
