Stayed one night before catching early ferry from Harwich. Room very small and in desparate need of refurbishment. Only modern fitting was the tv. Window catches broken, as was the fan in the bathroom. Early breakfast was a disaster. Staff kindly provided us with a snack of two eggs on toast, followed by two rashers of bacon as a favour...

Stayed for one night. Excellent location. The room was satisfactory, the bed was very comfortable. Had an evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. Would recommend the 8oz burger it was delicious. The cooked breakfast was very good, you could have as much as you liked. Could not fault the staff, all where freindly and made you feel very welcome.

I recently stayed here for a relative's birthday party. When we arrived, the staff were very friendly and gave us the key to our room. Upon entry, we were very pleased with the room. It was large, and the beds were very comfortable. There were two TVs in the room, both very large. The bathroom was alright but the toilet... More

Visited this hotel as a promotion on a trip to Colchester. The room was small and the bed was uncomfortable and lacked support, although it had a restaurant I couldn't bring myself to eat there. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the overall appearance of the hotel was very disappointing. This hotel stands adjacent to small lake and has... More

We were attracted by a Ramada national advert and promotion and booked wanting to visit the Colchester area: then we looked at trip advisor and read about the smoky corridor, the tired decor, the poor mattress, and the even worse restaurant: guess what? Yes, all the reviewers were right, but they did not cover the worn out carpet, the embarassed... More

The rooms were spacious and the bed was comfortable however the decor was showing signs of ware. We did not eat here as resturant seemed empty and my colleagues said it was too cold. Very handy location though just next to the A12.
