Lovely Room

Lovely room Well equipped and comfortable My stay was short because of my schedule, but if I am in the area again I would choose to stay at the same place Parking is a public lot right behind the hotel Hotel is right in the centre of town Staff were very helpful over the phone and gave instructions and useful information which assisted me getting where I needed to be in time

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.

The stair carpet looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned since I last visited 20 years ago and the headboard was equally stained. The staff were lovely and the food was good.

Breakfast seemed overcooked, deep fried and eggs tasted of vinegar. This was the only poor experience.

Wonderful stay, as always

From checking in to checking out a lovely stay with friendly and helpful staff. Our evening meal was just as delicious as it was when we last stayed.

Comfortable Stay with Great Facilities

Stayed for one night and had a great experience overall. The hotel has an impressive reception area, along with a stylish bar and restaurant. The room was very spacious and spotless. The corridor could get a bit noisy at times with guests returning from nights out, but that’s to be expected. We stayed during a heatwave, so air conditioning would’ve been a bonus, but it wasn’t a major issue.

What a fantastic Hotel , with great decor , ideally positioned in the heart of Colchester , great staff and delicious breakfast .. only criticism was that I had a sleepless night , Due to an issue with the toilet in our room that meant the water was constantly noisily running into the toilet and couldn’t be used , I mentioned this to a staff member who said it was usually an easy fix by pressing the flusher a few times ( which would indicate it’s an ongoing issue with the toilets ) and when she tried this and it didn’t work I was told that maintenance would have to look at it on Monday .. not much use to me when I only stayed on the Saturday night ! So having a sleepless night took the shine off an otherwise great Hotel

Right in the City centre

Staff were very good. The carpark took some finding. Do your homework. Not the hotels fault, council have blocked most access roads with bollards.

Hotel was lovely and well presented, staff were not overly helpful or friendly.

This is our second stay at The George. Our room was amazing especially as it had A/C on what was a very hot day. Stairs are a challenge with suitcases but expected with the age of the property. Bar and breakfast staff were abrupt but we put it down to the heat! All other staff were very good we will come back again!

Great stay

Lovely hotel. We stayed only for one night but the room was lovely and cosy, beautiful old beams but clean and modern bathroom as well. Bed was super comfy. Didn't stay for breakfast as was a flying visit but it was reasonably priced (£12) so would try it if we stay again! A little noisy in the morning as you can hear doors slamming but nothing that bothered us, no noise at night that we heard! We also had a few pints in the pub in the evening which was lovely, didn't eat there but the food looked great! Parking was £12 behind the hotel for 24 hours, not that easy to find but safe when you get there. Overall, would recommend.

This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks.

Great one night stay in a suite (free upgrade which was nice). Rooms lovely and clean. Breakfast was nice although coffee wasn’t great. The coffee in the room was lovely though. Really nice shampoo etc but the sachets aren’t very user friendly - would prefer refillable pumps to keep it eco friendly. Friendly staff on the reception desk. There is noise from outside crowds at night if staying in a front of hotel room but it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t stay again. Really enjoyed our stay.
