Colchester Castle and Museum absolutely brilliant especially for children. We went on a Sunday morning and found cheap parking near Castle Park but can imagine that it would be a nightmare to drive around Colchester on a weekday without entering bus lanes and one way systems!

Colchester is an excellent base for travelling the neighbouring places of interest. I stayed there for the history of the city and there is plenty to see. City centre in 21st century isn't great.

Alvento are very polite in their communication and when you call the help line and have properties in 27 locations in the UK ! The house itself was OK , but I was not impressed with the sparsity of equipment in the property, nor the service provided by the property host , I will only be leaving a 1 star review , and that is for the charming dressing table and stool in the master bedroom ,

We coincided with Oktoberfest weekend at the castle. A major annual event. Even ended up in the pub with everyone late in the evening, which was entertaining and good-natured. We walked around town earlier during the day and found great places to stop off and to eat… Recommend Colchester for a weekend visit

We only stayed overnight in Colchester and left round lunchtime, so didnt have much time to browse, but we went to a few places and walked round the park! We will come back again and visit the castle. The area around there looks beautiful, too!

The staff were wonderful. So helpful and lovely, especially the 2 'older' ladies (though still younger than me)!!! And Eugenie was wonderful too. He booked my brother and me in (then my brother didn't actually stay at the hotel as he had an accident, in Colchester town) and the following day Eugenie asked after my brother, by name! Also, I mislaid my door key, and couldn't remember room number, but Eugenie did! My second night was not pre-booked, but the lovely ladies found the me a room with a bathtub. Thank you.

We had driven from North Devon to Colchester, a long journey in the car. Upon arrival we checked in and had sadly missed out on dinner at the hotel because we arrived after the closing time for the restaurant. Being tired and travel weary, it was a total delight to be informed that the hotel had chosen to upgrade our room to a suite. I have never been made to feel so welcome before and the room was perfect.

The hotel is a historical landmark in the heart of Colchester. Expect a maze of corridors with black wooden beams and creaky floors. The room was likewise in style, with a comfortable bed. The breakfast in the historical dining room (once used to house a session of the parliament in ancient times) was excellent.

The location was ideal for my short stay in the centre of the city, but it was still quiet. The room was very clean and warm. Slept very well and managed a walk to Colchester Castle, Castle Park and Jumbo which were all within a five minute walk from the hotel.
