We stayed here to attend my nieces wedding a few miles away, there was plenty of parking at the venue and if you drive electric, there are charging points available. Check in was slick and professional, the young man on reception was very pleasant and professional. The room was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well appointed, the bedding was very comfortable and there were ample electrical points available, WIFI is available but we didn't make use of it as we had ample data on our phones. Breakfast is the best I've seen in a long time at the many hotels I've stayed at over recent years, the best full English anywhere so far, there was also an excellent selection of cereals fruits, cheeses, jams and hot drinks as well as juices. In a nutshell, based on my experience you wont go wrong if you stay here. less than a minute from the A12 just outside Colchester.

Colchester Castle and Museum absolutely brilliant especially for children. We went on a Sunday morning and found cheap parking near Castle Park but can imagine that it would be a nightmare to drive around Colchester on a weekday without entering bus lanes and one way systems!

Colchester is an excellent base for travelling the neighbouring places of interest. I stayed there for the history of the city and there is plenty to see. City centre in 21st century isn't great.

Alvento are very polite in their communication and when you call the help line and have properties in 27 locations in the UK ! The house itself was OK , but I was not impressed with the sparsity of equipment in the property, nor the service provided by the property host , I will only be leaving a 1 star review , and that is for the charming dressing table and stool in the master bedroom ,

We coincided with Oktoberfest weekend at the castle. A major annual event. Even ended up in the pub with everyone late in the evening, which was entertaining and good-natured. We walked around town earlier during the day and found great places to stop off and to eat… Recommend Colchester for a weekend visit

We only stayed overnight in Colchester and left round lunchtime, so didnt have much time to browse, but we went to a few places and walked round the park! We will come back again and visit the castle. The area around there looks beautiful, too!

The location was the real selling point and the rates were reasonable. There was parking behind the George Hotel at £9.50 for 24hrs which was a good rate. The place was clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a base camp to come back to and you want to be in Central Colchester it's great.

Needs electric ports. The food in the bar was expensive considering there are loads of places near. We would have eaten at hotel if was cheaper. Bar didn't have a good choice of beer/larger and again expensive. The bar/breakfast area the wood was dusty with spider webs just needs a vac

Great staff, very lovely hotel and good location right in the Colchester Town centre. I was kindly upgraded from to a junior suite, which was more than appropriated and unexpected. This a hotel that I would recommend and stay in again.
