Top Colchester Castle Museum Hotel Reviews

Brook Red Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and facility were extremely inviting and courteous with welcoming this traveller back home!"

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely old property on the edge of town. Front Desk staff on arrival were OK but not hugely communicative (morning team were much better). Same with the bar staff although the prices were pretty good. The room was old but clean and tidy. And HOT, although we were in a UK heatwave at the time. They do provide a fan which helped a bit. Overall a decent place to stay and would stay again if passing by that way again."

Colchester Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the Colchester Boutique Hotel before. Lorraine made us very welcome and she was very helpful on giving us directions before we arrived. Our room was full of character, very clean with luxurious bath products, a good range of teas/coffee and complimentary water on arrival. There is a fabulous Indian restaurant next door called Basca but we didn't have time to visit as we were here for a gig at the Colchester Arts Centre which was only a short walk away. Roland looked after us the next morning for our breakfast which provided a good selection of choices. The parking was so useful and meant that we could explore a lot of Colchester whilst remaining in the centre. We highly recommend staying here and we will be back later in the year!"

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was clean, and it had basic tea coffee, kettle, water and wash lotion etc. No lift, which i did find hard as i have health condition. The signage could be improved, as its not obvious that the lounge is the front door. The main sign for the hotel is in front of two grey doors, whuch apparently are for the laundry! I didn't have breakfast as didnt feel well. I would stay again, it was close to theatre. "
