University of Essex - Colchester Campus

10/10 Excellent
"The only fault I could find is the actual finding of the property. The postcode provided takes you to the main car park which is quite a way from where you collect your keys and then further still to the property. I would advise to call before hand to find out the closest parking. The room was spotless and the bed was comfy. Staff were really friendly and very helpful."
