Room and bathroom were larger than expected and we loved it since we had our adult son who slept on a cot in the room with us. Loved the balcony and the views. Easy parking. Easy check-in.

We arrived quite late at 7:30pm. The staff member on reception was very friendly and accommodating and advised that we had been upgraded to the newly renovated rooms as they had availability. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable and well provisioned. I have been lucky enough to stay in a couple of fancy hotels, including Hayman Island on the Great Barrier Reef, and the rooms we had at Marks Tey were on a par and better than those hotel rooms. Excellent value for money for our last-minute booking. Menu looked tasty and great value, but we had already eaten so didn't try the food on this occasion.

Colchester is full of history.

Colchester is full of history. The city centre is not too big; most monuments, museums, pubs and shops are within walking distance. There are plenty of buses to and from the railway station and beyond, and to cool places like Mersea Island.

Colchester is a nice area, but accomadtion was bad.

Colchester is a nice area, but accomadtion was bad. Please don't book brook red lion if you want a peaceful sleep. Staff ok but lied completely about Xmas dinner and being able to have a vegan meal. Banged on the door when trying to rest asking if we needed anything from house keeping. We would have asked. My daughter was allergic to the dust in the room, she came away with red swollen eyes. We had to leave at 2am in the morning just to get home. Couldn't stay another night. I am 70 and we had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to first room. No mention as not suitable for older guests. Had to change rooms on xmas morning due to no sleep because of a loud generator outside our window. They gave us another room but was much smaller and still noisy. Would never stay there again. Colcester however is pleasant if we has chosen another hotel. Some served Christmas Dinner. We ended up with takeaway because didn't have time in advance to book a table. The Hotel is old and expect a bit of dust but overall a terrible stay.

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!

Beautiful old building, we booked to stay here as we were in Colchester for a gig. The four poster bed room was really worth the price. Comfy bed, lovely hotel bar and friendly staff. My partner had a ghostly experience around 6am someone pulled the cover up over him to tuck him in but I was fast asleep. A friendly ghost though. Would definitely book and stay again. 20 min walk from town. This hotel is definitely gonna be a lovely memory with my partner 😌
