Top Headgate Theatre Hotel Reviews

The George of Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"El único detalle fue que la señal de WiFi era muy pobre en el cuarto que nos asignaron (room 212). Fui a la recepción para comentar esta situación y mencionaron que lo iban a revisar, pero no hubo mejora. En las áreas comunes del hotel funcionaba perfectamente."

GreyFriars

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a single room and was so pleasantly surprised. The decor was nice, room was very clean and the bed was so comfy. I had the best night sleep. I would highly recommend"

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

8/10 Good

"The ground floor bar and entrance is lovely but that theme didn't follow to the rooms. Perhaps I should have paid for a better room but I was hoping for the same vibe upstairs. Rather than sleek and quirky it was more student basic in my opinion. The paint on the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom were peeling off and there was black on the ceiling above the shower. The room was functional. However the team were polite, friendly and efficient and instead of working in my room I worked downstairs in the relaxed bar area. I didn't have breakfast but when I checked out a couple were having what looked and smelled like I lovely cooked breakfast! I would stay again but would go for an upgrade room and hope it was more like those in the pictures."

Ryegate House Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"?"

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...!"

Premier Inn Colchester Town Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were amazing"
