Basic single room was ok

Stayed in the basic single and that's what it was. No complaints, but be aware that the main Northern road into town is right by the front rooms of the hotel

Nice comfortable hotel an easy walking distance from everything in Colchester. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good quality. I liked the fact that breakfast is 'a la carte', as that reduces wastage. Cleanliness is good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
