+ The location is ideal for a tourist wanting to experience Colchester. It is one of the oldest buildings in Colchester. The front of the building may be Georgian but the core is medieval, with lots of ancient features. The staff were a bit of a mix, many seemed to be students who were not highly engaged, but Ed on the front counter was excellent. Our room was clean comfortable full of authentic ancient features but with a fish modern bathroom. The location is ideal for a tourist wanting to experience Colchester.

- Be aware that there are stairs - but well worth it to stay in such a historic old hotel. Be aware that there are stairs - but well worth it to stay in such a historic old hotel.
