Four ladies of a certain age met up in Colchester for a 3 day re-union and The North Hill Hotel was our base camp. Selection of hotel was made after checking out Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. Two of us shared the mini suite, Room 34, with its king size bed and sofa bed. A lovely light room... More

Excellent place for a short break to Colchester. A very late, last minute change was dealt with very efficently and without any fuss. We had Room 34 at the top and it was spotlessly clean and surprisingly large, plenty of room even with the sofa bed made up for a third person. Shower and bathroom are very big with plenty... More

We stayed here for one night in March. We managed to book the last available room on a Saturday night. The room was spotlessly clean throughout and well presented. Our only issue with the room was the small shower which was very flimsy and difficult to get the right temperature (could just be me). The staff were very friendly and... More

A very pleasant hotel with an excellent restaurant. Breakfast was especially well done - all freshly cooked. Not many hotels in UK (in my experience) provide freshly squeezed orange juice and the bacon was memorable. Evening meal was also very good. My single room was a bit too small but the double was fine except for the peeling paint on... More

I stayed in the twin room at the North Hill Hotel in March. The room was booked for me and my best friend as part of her hen weekend. Very impressed by this little hotel. Check in was easy as could be. I particularly liked the relaxed atmosphere in reception (which is accessed via the Green Rooms restaurant). Our bags... More

What a beautiful, comfortable and friendly hotel.We were very much looking forward to our stay last weekend (24/02-25/02) Nothing was too much trouble. We were warmly welcomed by the young gentleman on the desk and allocated room 25. The rooms were perfect and very comfortable. The only negative was the fact of slight water damage on the ceiling of the... More

We spent two nights here and found the hotel to be extremely well presented, clean and well maintained. The suite itself was very new and comfortable, quiet and warm. The usual TV channels were available, tea coffee facilities spot on. The major plus for us was the breakfast which was fantastic - cooked from fresh local produce as opposed to... More

Hi and thank you very much for your review. I'm glad you liked the mini suite, we are getting lots of very positive comments about them!

I stay in hotels a lot all over the place and I keep coming back to this one as an example! I have stayed in both king size and mini suites here - both of which are spacious and very well appointed with lovely peaceful decor. These rooms have not have baths - only large showers which is worth noting... More
