Top Mercury Theatre Hotel Reviews

St Nicholas Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was fine, good size, clean, everything in working order. However, the room was extremely hot with no air conditioning and there was a lot of noise from outside.

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...!"

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."
