Colchester is a brilliant town to visit, you have the old and new part to walk round ranging from a good collection of shops and food outlets to browse and walking round the various churches, castle, monastery ruins and lovely parks. The town is within walking distance of both train stations, taxis are plenty also. Take a good pair of comfy walking attire for feet as you will be walking up and down gradients!! A great place to visit on the local bus is Manningtree where there is a antiques emporium to walk round with a great cafe in the high street for food. If visiting Colchester for the first time I recommend staying at least a minimum of 4 days as their is a lot to see of interest. Lots of charity shops too!! For families do visit Colchester Zoo which is a great day out, this can be reached by bus also if you do not drive.lynetteUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Great weekend destination.
Great weekend destination. Loads of big and little shops, cafes, restaurants and craft ales bars. Great atmosphere in town. On top of this the most amazing castle and wobbly medieval houses and Roman walls something for everyone!! Town centre easy to walk round and explore and topped off with a fabulous meal at China Chef!

Colchester is a gem.
Colchester is a gem. Lovely architecture and sights, good cafes and pubs, shopping and eateries. It's not at all dog friendly, though, which is a big drawback if you ask me. Come on, Colchester, Britain loves its pets!

- From $162.60 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 731 reviewsThis was a lovely hotel that was right in the heart of Colchester! Near to shops, railway stations and bus stops!! The room we had was a good size as was the lovely bathroom with a big ensuite shower!! All the staff were polite and friendly and we appreciated the upgrade we were lucky to get! There was plenty of choice for the continental breakfast and there is also a restaurant here and you can have high tea!! If you want a place that's near to everything including the Castle which is well worth visiting this is the hotel to stay in!!
Nicky WhiteUnited Kingdom - From $106.94 per night6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 1,332 reviewsNicely located on Colchester High Street within walking distance of most nearby amenities. Bed decently comfortable, plug sockets by the bed, and of course free Wi-Fi. Staff were very polite and friendly, and the service was very efficient. I slept very well and was easily able to walk to Castle Park, local restaurants and shops, and Colchester Town train station from the hotel. I wouldn't bother with the breakfast, as you have many options on the High Street and nearby, within spitting distance, for much cheaper.
ConorUnited Kingdom - From $270.16 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 1,434 reviewsOne has to be very picky to find fault with this hotel. It is immaculately clean. I stayed in The Helena room in the main house. It was a beautiful, big room. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I arrived a few hours before Check in, so I didn’t mind to wait. What I didn’t expect was that my luggage was already taken to my room when I checked in at 3pm. They also , kindly allowed a late check out at 5pm for a small extra fee. It is good value for money and highly recommended.MirnaBahrain
- 9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 232 reviewsBeautiful house with lots of old character and interest. Everywhere is filled with lovely objects and art. We felt very much at home. Even a friendly cat to sit with in the living room. Extremely comfortable bed, good sized room and cosy central heating. Host and staff were very welcoming and made the visit a joy. Hugely preferable over a generic hotel room. Excellent shower and bathroom facilities. Very central to Colchester Town centre and places of interest.JenniferUnited Kingdom
- From $120.07 per night6.7Scored 6.7PleasantRated pleasant· 2,026 reviewsThe hotel was ideally placed for us, being equidistant between the two family groups we were in Colchester to visit. It was competitively priced, the room and bathroom were clean, the shower was decent and the beds were very comfortable for us. Also, the quality of the breakfast was quite good and at £10 per person, represented good value. And finally, all the members of staff we had contact with were very friendly and helpful.
DavidUnited Kingdom - From $106.94 per night6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 1,332 reviewsI liked the location, the people working their are super nice, as well as the building and the old style. I liked the style of the hotel from the building itself to the furniture but you will like only if you like traditional old styles. I don't recommend it to someone who like fancy super stars hotel. not because it is not nice but because they will put bad reviews because it won't meet their expectationsbayanUnited Kingdom
