Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great value and comfortable stay at the Rose and Crown Hotel for our weekend break in Colchester. Clean room, friendly staff, lovely historic building."

Dragonfly Hotel Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"Return guest. Perfect for our needs, location spot on. Breakfast lovely, but Sunday was a little short on items, not up to usual standard. No plates available. so maybe a new staff member not used to breakfast service??? Room large, clean and comfy. In room drinks great, large cups, and if you run out go to restaurant and pick up more. No complaints. Bathroom standard fare, shower HOT and powerful, smallest gripe was temperature was tricky to select, small movement could have big change, but once set it was wonderful. "
