Top Colchester Arts Centre Hotel Reviews

Ryegate House Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"?"

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was clean and spacious. Twin in the separate wing. Food in the restaurant was awful at dinner and they’d be better serving basic English food rather than attempting foreign cuisine. It was adequate for my purpose of dropping off a teen at university. Parking was great although very full, WiFi good and location central. All being said I’d stay again when I visit the university."

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

10/10 Excellent

GreyFriars

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect Got to be the best hotel in Colchester by far"

Premier Inn Colchester Town Centre
