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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Wonderful stay, as always

From checking in to checking out a lovely stay with friendly and helpful staff. Our evening meal was just as delicious as it was when we last stayed.

Great stay

Lovely hotel. We stayed only for one night but the room was lovely and cosy, beautiful old beams but clean and modern bathroom as well. Bed was super comfy. Didn't stay for breakfast as was a flying visit but it was reasonably priced (£12) so would try it if we stay again! A little noisy in the morning as you can hear doors slamming but nothing that bothered us, no noise at night that we heard! We also had a few pints in the pub in the evening which was lovely, didn't eat there but the food looked great! Parking was £12 behind the hotel for 24 hours, not that easy to find but safe when you get there. Overall, would recommend.

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!

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.

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

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.

Great one night stay in a suite (free upgrade which was nice). Rooms lovely and clean. Breakfast was nice although coffee wasn’t great. The coffee in the room was lovely though. Really nice shampoo etc but the sachets aren’t very user friendly - would prefer refillable pumps to keep it eco friendly. Friendly staff on the reception desk. There is noise from outside crowds at night if staying in a front of hotel room but it wasn’t so bad that I wouldn’t stay again. Really enjoyed our stay.

Double glazing is needed at the front of the property. I realise this is probably a listed building but extra sliding glass could be fitted. It was so noisy outside that even wearing ear plugs I got very little sleep.

Room 310 is high!

It’s was and is a great hotel. Very clean great friendly staff and great location. My only qualm was I was in room 310 it’s in the eves of the building and the stairs are narrow and steep. If I was carry more than a few extra pounds or a big bag or suitcase I’d have struggled. As it was after a few wines I went up with great care. Beware of room 310 bonus was its huge.
