Top Colchester Castle Museum Hotel Reviews

The George of Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"El único detalle fue que la señal de WiFi era muy pobre en el cuarto que nos asignaron (room 212). Fui a la recepción para comentar esta situación y mencionaron que lo iban a revisar, pero no hubo mejora. En las áreas comunes del hotel funcionaba perfectamente."

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

8/10 Good

"The ground floor bar and entrance is lovely but that theme didn't follow to the rooms. Perhaps I should have paid for a better room but I was hoping for the same vibe upstairs. Rather than sleek and quirky it was more student basic in my opinion. The paint on the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom were peeling off and there was black on the ceiling above the shower. The room was functional. However the team were polite, friendly and efficient and instead of working in my room I worked downstairs in the relaxed bar area. I didn't have breakfast but when I checked out a couple were having what looked and smelled like I lovely cooked breakfast! I would stay again but would go for an upgrade room and hope it was more like those in the pictures."
