A vg city for shopping and coffee bars.

A vg city for shopping and coffee bars. History abounds through every pore. But some downtrodden parts in centre and closed down shots show the sadw decline of the high street in the UK. Publiic transport on weekends and bank holidays is limited in the centre. There are many great historical sites to see and Castle Park is a green oasis which is well worth visiting for relaxation. Driving in Colchestrer is a nightmare due to the many roundabouts, speeding bad=tempered traffic and totally inadequate signposting!

Great place to visit if you like antiquities and history.

Great place to visit if you like antiquities and history. Only issue was that our friends had a dog and we couldn't approach the park with the castle, so we had to go in pairs. I am not a dog owner but I understand the issues around it. I don't know if the city of Colchester can find a solution to this. The surrounding villages and towns were very picturesque. We also visited Felixstowe, with a very good restaurant called the Cafe Bencotto (https://www.cafebencotto.co.uk/) which was very good!

Really lovely town, full of history. We ate in a lovely little Italian restaurant close to where we stayed called Miseria & Nobility, which served home cooked Italian food with really lovely friendly staff. We walked around the Roman walls and the castle.

Nicely located on Colchester High Street within walking distance of most nearby amenities. Bed decently comfortable, plug sockets by the bed, and of course free Wi-Fi. Staff were very polite and friendly, and the service was very efficient. I slept very well and was easily able to walk to Castle Park, local restaurants and shops, and Colchester Town train station from the hotel. I wouldn't bother with the breakfast, as you have many options on the High Street and nearby, within spitting distance, for much cheaper.
