This is our second stay at The George. Our room was amazing especially as it had A/C on what was a very hot day. Stairs are a challenge with suitcases but expected with the age of the property. Bar and breakfast staff were abrupt but we put it down to the heat! All other staff were very good we will come back again!

The George is situated on the High Street in Colchester near the Castle and the art galleries - Firstsite and The Minories. Breakfast was excellent.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks.

Bad check in.

Not a good start when we turned up at 2.45pm to be told our room when wasn’t ready when check in is from 2pm. We were asked to wait in the check in area for our room to become available but the receptionist couldn’t give us a time frame. You would think that the hotel would offer complimentary drinks under these circumstances. The room was ok apart from the bed was a bit too hard for our liking. The last thing was when we returned from a nearby concert around 10.40pm for a quick night cap to be told the bar was closed apart from the two sitting people sitting in there with full drinks. You would think as a hotel that the bar would be open for patrons.

Would stay again - old quirky hotel

Very pleasant stay - old quirky hotel right in centre of Colchester. Parking was fine just behind the hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable room. My only comment would be that the stairs are quite steep leading up to the top so request a room on first floor if steep flights of stairs may be a concern - but for me it was a great stay and would return next time in Colchester. Thank you

The George Colchester

Room was okay, a little overpriced. Was going to have dinner at the restaurant (which had 1 table on a Monday night) stood in the restaurant area with my colleague for a while no one came, none of the servers who were standing at the bar acknowledged us, so we walked out and went elsewhere for dinner.

4/10 Fair

It’s a no!

Ok check in. I E cold room. Old School quilt, no down comforter in sight. Stone hard pillow. Breakfast. Sweaty cheese, cheap ready cut bread, absolutely no cut vegetables. They made eggs. And a full British breakfast. That’s not for me and the rest of the world. No umbrellas at front of house. Dirty British wall to wall carpets. They had an ok bar with very strange wine glasses.

breakfast

When i cam down for breakfast there was a room filled with customers, and only 2 members of staff servicing. As they were both busy they did not notice that i had been waiting at the entrance to the room as the instructions clearly indicated. In the end because of waiting for a long time i decided to find a seat. In that time a waitress asked for my breakfast order, but explained that it would be longer than 15min. As i had already waited i was running late for work. So I only requested coffee. Despite paying for breakfast. I did not have time to discuss this at check out because of the delays to the start of my day

What a fantastic Hotel , with great decor , ideally positioned in the heart of Colchester , great staff and delicious breakfast .. only criticism was that I had a sleepless night , Due to an issue with the toilet in our room that meant the water was constantly noisily running into the toilet and couldn’t be used , I mentioned this to a staff member who said it was usually an easy fix by pressing the flusher a few times ( which would indicate it’s an ongoing issue with the toilets ) and when she tried this and it didn’t work I was told that maintenance would have to look at it on Monday .. not much use to me when I only stayed on the Saturday night ! So having a sleepless night took the shine off an otherwise great Hotel

Lovely Room

Lovely room Well equipped and comfortable My stay was short because of my schedule, but if I am in the area again I would choose to stay at the same place Parking is a public lot right behind the hotel Hotel is right in the centre of town Staff were very helpful over the phone and gave instructions and useful information which assisted me getting where I needed to be in time

Breakfast seemed overcooked, deep fried and eggs tasted of vinegar. This was the only poor experience.

Excellent stay again. Staff very friendly. Lovely food. The hotel was really busy as they had two weddings during our stay. The cleanliness however was not up to its previous standard.

Right in the City centre

Staff were very good. The carpark took some finding. Do your homework. Not the hotels fault, council have blocked most access roads with bollards.
Nigel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor Hotel

In my opinion, The George has seriously gone down hill. Very poor service. Breakfast average. If you are a smoker, you now have to go outside the front of hotel, they have stopped it in their garden area. I woke in night. Went down. Night porters kissing and socialising up with young girls. I was told to go outside in street for ciggie and the door was shut and locked. Dogends everywhere, broken glass and was approached by many drunks. Pouring with rain and nowhere to sit. Took cups from room in morning down with coffee and staff in diner refused to take them at breakfast, we were told to take them back to room. Staff very miserable and quite rude. Room ok and bed comfortable, but teo hairdryers in room, none worked. Called reception to change and no answer twice. Had to go down to get replacement ourselves and they said they were Breakfast average, not hot and too busy to answer phone, but they knew we called.

The stair carpet looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned since I last visited 20 years ago and the headboard was equally stained. The staff were lovely and the food was good.

Comfortable Stay with Great Facilities

Stayed for one night and had a great experience overall. The hotel has an impressive reception area, along with a stylish bar and restaurant. The room was very spacious and spotless. The corridor could get a bit noisy at times with guests returning from nights out, but that’s to be expected. We stayed during a heatwave, so air conditioning would’ve been a bonus, but it wasn’t a major issue.
