"Nice room with large ensuite. Only stayed 1 night but room was quiet and very comfortable.
20 mins walk to main centre.
Only bad thing was roadworks and diversions everywhere but not property's fault!"
"I was very well looked after on a one night stay. The bed was comfortable, the staff were very kind and I enjoyed a delicious indian meal in their restaurant."
"It is a beautiful hotel, food is great and the people that work there are very nice, We have the fortune to have a room with air conditioning, so if you go on summer time make sure you ask for one. "
"We loved it here, had a a good couple of nights with friends. Beautiful apartment, amazing mattresses and pillows, very quiet environment. The pool wasn’t open and some work was happening but you can tell it’s going to look amazing once they put it all together and summer prep work is expected at this time of year. Kara was fab and we met a super helpful housekeeper who is doing a degree who was a literal walking tourist information centre. Great atmosphere all round ."

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. Quiet area, within easy walk to Castle, park and shops."
"Hosts are very welcoming and helpful. The room was very modern and lovely & clean. When we did stay it was a very hot weekend where the room was hot, would of been nice if there was a fan in the room that we could of used.
Free parking which is an added bonus. Only short walk into Colchesters main town. Would recommend to anyone."

"Excellent stay again. Staff very friendly. Lovely food. The hotel was really busy as they had two weddings during our stay. The cleanliness however was not up to its previous standard. "
"Located behind "Kind of Spice" so type that in when looking for this place. No lift in the annex building, which is where our room was (2nd flr). Otherwise, kind staff and clean rooms. Complimentary bottles of water at the FD, just ask. Breakfast selection was fantastic; you can pay the night before and save 4bucks compared to the day of. No dinner service, but the bar is open in the evening from 5:30- 10:15pm. "King of Spice" (curry) is right around the corner, so we had dinner there instead. NO a/c. -JB from Cali"
