Unfortunately the noise from the high street was heard all night and kept us awake but the room was nice. Better directions for satnav as couldn’t reach the high street as each road a dead end

Kim, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Smack bang in Colchester town centre, which makes it ideal for shopping, eating out, and nightlife. That said, if you’re like me and need a window cracked open at night, be warned: the noise and music from the surrounding pubs is VERY loud. Bring noise-cancelling headphones if you value sleep. The room was generally clean, although the photos speak for themselves. A quick go with some limescale remover would sort it recognising it’s not a big job. Possibly the bathroom door isn’t being shut during cleaning. Lighting throughout is quite dim, so if you need to do your makeup, bring a magnifying mirror and a small LED light. There’s an express self-checkout at the entrance, which is handy, and parking is available for £12 per 24 hours at the rear of The George Hotel opposite. Check-in and breakfast are also at The George, which is a lovely hotel with a much nicer atmosphere. This hotel itself feels a bit soulless, but it is undeniably convenient. I’m giving it 4 stars as I booked early and it was reasonably priced. It’s fine for what it is.
Tracey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Flooring in lift was danaged and I tripped over it. Room was tatty, curtain hanging of the curtain pole. Divan was damaged excrement stains on towels. Was also really hot, thermostat was not working, thankfully patio doors worked, however the moise from Colchester City Centre is more like Colchester Zoo. Horrendous experience, worst hotel ever.
Geraint, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The annexe hotel is a nice, well-appointed hotel, it's a great location for the city centre (we were going to an event in the castle park) and the staff in The George were very helpful and friendly. Be aware, it's a city centre location and the soundproofing isn't perfect - I've had quieter nights!
Ian, 1-night trip

Fantastic location right in the middle of town. Loved it!

The st Nicolas hotel

The hotel room was okay but the bedhesd had a hole in it . The television didn't work . We were in a room that was on the main street which was very noisy

10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful stay.
Sarah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would return

Pleasant stay. Clean and modern. It is noisy until the pubs shut but it’s on a main high street so to be expected. Would stay again.
Samantha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect for a city break

Nice clean rooms . Perfect location for the town centre and castle venue . We went to a concert. Downside . No climate control rooms were hot so windows open .. traffic and public noise. Nice balconies. No actual hotel facilities as it is an annex of the George hotel across the street.
carl, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Cheap for a reason

Room was fine. Bathroom however.. Revolting dust falling out of bathroom extractor. Shower door broken and shower head broken. No aircon so either suffocate or get to lie awake most of the night listening to the noise from Colchester’s many drunks.
W R, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is an annex of the George hotel with nice rooms good showers and great location . We were in room 706 which being on the High Street side was noisy with the window open due to the warm temperatures and lack of AC. The TV was in danger of falling off the wall. That being said it was a good value stay although a walk over the road for breakfast was fine for us due to the great weather but would have been less desirable in the wet
