"Old Carriage House converted into a wonderful apartment. We loved the location of this stay. We were just a short walk down from Colchester Castle and High Street, where we could find a wide range of pubs, restaurants, and shops. The city centre train station was just a short walk away as well. Thank you to our host for the awesome check-in and also for the lift to the "other" train station for our trip back into London. If we are ever in the Colchester area again, we will definitely stay...

Radisson Blu Hotel London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, really clean room, was amazing after a long flight"

Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The wash-hand basin had a crack in it, so maybe it is due for replacement. Breakfast had a good choice, one little grumble would be the scrambled eggs!!! Very handy for the airport - I will be staying here again in a couple of weeks."

Wivenhoe House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lots of dust on the skirting next to bathroom Reception does not answer calls ,called 3 times and doesn’t call back Restaurant : the waitress promised to bring child dresser at the end (it was ice cream ),but it was not brought but we were charged for that ,realised just next day that dessert was not brought Overall nice location and nice balcony view"

Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG

8/10 Good

"It’s a holiday inn next to a garage with a Waitrose. It’s a fairly nice one tho. Lovely reception / dining area. Bathrooms superb. Tv a little old but ok. Heating not working but had an electric oil radiator. Food fairly poor and very expensive like similar holiday inns. Breakfast was ok. I’d stay here again tho if necessary."

GreyFriars

8/10 Good

"We loved this traditional old style hotel and the staff. However dinner was a little bit of a let down I had scallops which were cooked well a served beautifully my wife had a seafood cocktail straight out of the 70,s unfortunately! Followed by a line caught tuna salad , line caught in a tin ! I had venison steak which was cooked very well but served with shop bought skin on fries . The price we paid I would have expected better very disappointed Breakfast was lovely"
