Top Colchester Hotel Reviews

Novotel London Stansted Airport

Novotel London Stansted Airport

8/10 Good

"Staff were all excellent and worked incredibly hard and made this stay enjoyable and stress free. The room was clean, spacious & well equipped. The quality of food in the restaurant was disappointing for price paid (e.g Crispy chicken burger - £20). Breakfast selection was good, but quality mixed (e.g hot items good but pastries were dry/very small). The airport shuttle was well organised & ran on time."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester

"Easy to find and park at the hotel - clean room and staff were helpful. Breakfast was decent too. There was an iron and board in the room and WiFi was good enough for teams calls."

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

Best Western The Rose & Crown Hotel

8/10 Good

"My room was clean and spacious. Twin in the separate wing. Food in the restaurant was awful at dinner and they’d be better serving basic English food rather than attempting foreign cuisine. It was adequate for my purpose of dropping off a teen at university. Parking was great although very full, WiFi good and location central. All being said I’d stay again when I visit the university."

"Room, grounds and staff are amazing. We ordered a gift package for the room as a birthday celebration, cost of £9 for 2 chocolates is extortionate."
