Fantastic location bang in the middle of town lovely rooms and the staff were incredible, young girl with blonde hair very helpful, just remeber it's only the back door open at the early hours of the morning! Haha!

Stayed for one night stay at the end of March as a single traveller on business in the area. Despite hearing good things about the hotel unfortunately I can only say everything was "average" and very uninspiring which is a real shame for such a splendid setting. My room was very small and very dated. It was a very warm... More

I have stayed here a few times and I'm a very picky person . Rooms are dated but that's the character. Clean and just the right size. The receptionist is very rude and grumpy but you can overlook that as the other staff make up for it! I love it personally!

I have just returned from a stay at the George hotel and what a wonderful experience it was. The hotel is old and full of creaking floorboards and uneven walls, there is even an original wattle and daub wall on one of the staircases which all adds to the ambience. The room (401) was freshly painted and clean with clean... More

We stayed for a week and had undisturbed nights in a clean room that was just big enough for the two of us. OK, so the bathroom was looking a bit tired - but everything worked (except towel rail) perfectly. The location was ideal for the town centre - and for walking to the Colchester Town Station. Parking was behind... More

I don't understand some of the reviews, the hotel is an old building you can't expect it to be modern inside. The miss matching furniture gives it character. Our room was lovely the bath could of done with updating but the shower was fantastic! The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely. The restaurant was charming. The noise level... More

We have been visting this hotel for many years and stayed over a few times. We usualy go to the bar and eat. At one time the hotel and its visitors seemed to be quite sophisticated but it does seem to be a bit of a concourse nowdays for all and sundry. The fire is rarely lit in the lounge... More

We stayed here a few days ago and found although an old place there was plenty of character. Staff were friendly, although very busy. Room was dated and on the small side, although the bathroom looked nearly new but the actual bedroom could have done with a bit more tlc. Especially the linen, which was frayed - needs throwing away... More
