Would stay again - old quirky hotel
Very pleasant stay - old quirky hotel right in centre of Colchester. Parking was fine just behind the hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. My only comment would be that the stairs are quite steep leading up to the top so request a room on first floor if steep flights of stairs may be a concern - but for me it was a great stay and would return next time in Colchester. Thank you

Excellent Hotel, but not if arriving be car
Friendly staff, comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Cannot fault the Hotel itself. One small criticism would be the information about parking is far too brief. Unkess you are already familiar with the car parking situation in Colchester Town Centre and the App itself, the system generated email did not offer any useful assistance whatsoever. Unsurprisingly the car park was half full, as people like myself used more easily accessible sites (and with far simpler payment methods)
