Carol
Australia
The rooms are spacious, luxurious, and very, very comfortable. The tariff was reasonable and affordable. (Worth every penny!)
The check-in procedure was quick and easy. The staff were warm, friendly, and engaging.
Pre check in instructions were clear and comprehensive. Reception was quick to respond to questions, and any issue was solved immediately.
The hotel smelled nice upon entering.
I really loved the L'Occitane toiletries and appreciated all of the thoughtful touches like fluffy white robes, coffee machine and coffee pods, and complimentary mini- bar items.
Secure parking was another bonus, as was the location.
We would love to come back.

Colchester is a brilliant town to visit, you have the old and new part to walk round ranging from a good collection of shops and food outlets to browse and walking round the various churches, castle, monastery ruins and lovely parks. The town is within walking distance of both train stations, taxis are plenty also. Take a good pair of comfy walking attire for feet as you will be walking up and down gradients!! A great place to visit on the local bus is Manningtree where there is a antiques emporium to walk round with a great cafe in the high street for food. If visiting Colchester for the first time I recommend staying at least a minimum of 4 days as their is a lot to see of interest. Lots of charity shops too!! For families do visit Colchester Zoo which is a great day out, this can be reached by bus also if you do not drive.lynetteUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Colchester is a gem.
Colchester is a gem. Lovely architecture and sights, good cafes and pubs, shopping and eateries. It's not at all dog friendly, though, which is a big drawback if you ask me. Come on, Colchester, Britain loves its pets!MattUnited Kingdom

- From € 151.06 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 728 reviewsDue to the train strike by Greater Anglier (30 Sep 2023 to 04 Oct 2023), I had to stay in Colchester for a few nights for work purpose. When I checked in, I was greeted by Roland (the hotel manager). He helped me settle down in my lovely ensuite bedroom and enriched me with the history of Colchester. He provided excellent customer service for all the guests of the hotel. This hotel is highly recommended, and I hope everyone who goes to Colchester Boutique Hotel will feel comfortable and delighted.
Paul Yee KingUnited Kingdom - From € 115.04 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,742 reviewsBeautiful old building, we booked to stay here as we were in Colchester for a gig. The four poster bed room was really worth the price. Comfy bed, lovely hotel bar and friendly staff. My partner had a ghostly experience around 6am someone pulled the cover up over him to tuck him in but I was fast asleep. A friendly ghost though. Would definitely book and stay again. 20 min walk from town. This hotel is definitely gonna be a lovely memory with my partner 😌EliseUnited Kingdom

- From € 105.86 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 2,275 reviewsBreakfast was exceptional with so much choice and all freely accessible. Room was very quiet but that was probably due to the thick carpet which was also in the corridors and made for a very quiet night. Bed was comfy and the room itself out excelled a comparitive hotel on the western side of Colchester.
