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!

Colchester is an excellent base for travelling the neighbouring places of interest. I stayed there for the history of the city and there is plenty to see. City centre in 21st century isn't great.

Alvento are very polite in their communication and when you call the help line and have properties in 27 locations in the UK ! The house itself was OK , but I was not impressed with the sparsity of equipment in the property, nor the service provided by the property host , I will only be leaving a 1 star review , and that is for the charming dressing table and stool in the master bedroom ,

We coincided with Oktoberfest weekend at the castle. A major annual event. Even ended up in the pub with everyone late in the evening, which was entertaining and good-natured. We walked around town earlier during the day and found great places to stop off and to eat… Recommend Colchester for a weekend visit

We only stayed overnight in Colchester and left round lunchtime, so didnt have much time to browse, but we went to a few places and walked round the park! We will come back again and visit the castle. The area around there looks beautiful, too!

Staff were really friendly and helpful. We were welcomed to the hotel and offered tips on where to eat as the hotel restaurant was not open. Very well decorated hotel and room. The room was nice , and the bathroom had a good shower. There was some road noise that didn't bother us, but they offered complimentary ear plugs, which was thoughtful. Breakfast was delicious and made fresh to order. It is in a very convenient location for Colchester town centre.parking is at nacp car park which is only a few minutes walk.

I last stayed at the hotel approx., 15 years ago and the room had changed little over that time. There was also a lot of building works going on. Looked like an extension, possibly to the dining room. I guess that was the reason why the dining room was closed. Instead, you could eat in the bar area where there were (possibly) 10 small tables with 1 to 2 covers. Lacked ambiance and the menu was obviously limited but my meal was OK. Wanted a cheap stay whilst travelling so this fitted the bill.

The lovely welcome I recieved from the family and dogs was so nice after a 6hour drive . I went to see the goats before my room ! Erica and Josh are wonderful hosts and even invited us to their bonfire / music that night . The bed was the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in . I loved the big bath . It’s a beautiful place to stay and only a few miles from Colchester . So much nicer than a hotel chain .

The hotel is located in the centre of Colchester and is convenient for touristy things as well as shops/restaurants/bars etc. The rooms are comfortable, clean and to a good standard. The check-in staff were friendly and everything worked smoothly with our booking. The food in the restaurant was first-class and very reasonably priced. I don't usually like restaurants in hotels, but this was excellent.

The service was amazing. The best for noise cancellation from the high-street overnight, near the town centre. LGBT friendly. Seating areas located around the hotel for if you need to check out of the room but not ready to depart.
