    The unit was reasonably large and nicely furnished.

    Charming old place, it was clean and had incredibly nice and welcoming staff on the AM shift. I stayed in the room that was kept clean and available with full bath, 4 poster bed, for example. I enjoyed the breakfast time in the dining room.

    The hotel is well situated in the heart of Colchester with easy access to shops and local places of interest.

    The front room that we stayed in was a little noisy and the room was a bit tired looking.

    Friendly, helpful staff and good breakfast. The building itself is 600 years old amd full of history

    Fixtures and fittings in the hotel seemed cheap and a bit tired. Climbing three flights of stairs to get to our room was hard work
