The George is in the centre of Colchester and just a short way from the Csstlr. The room was clean and comfortable.

It was clean, comfortable, and central,

There was no view at all. There was no fresh air.

Not a first choice

The shower was good and bathroom had good lighting.

My bed was hard. There was only a duvet, no top sheet, which makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the duvet. I was itchy in the bed. The room was dusty as it hadn't been stayed in in awhile. The room I was put in was way at the top of the building, not that I have an issue with stairs, but the floor upstairs is so old it's uneven making you feel drunk when you walk on it. There wasn't a hairdryer in the room, not that I expect it, just that it's usually a given in most hotels. I didn't sleep well.

What an incredible place to stay - the history of the place is redolent everywhere.

The architecture, the welcome, the rooms, the sleep and the breakfast were all outstanding. It's a step back in time – in a good way – there's even an exposed C14th wattle-and-daub wall, but that is all blended with modern hotel facilities and service. Truly a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend the George as a place to stay in Colchester and will be back if I'm in the area again.

The shower was OK, just OK. But it didn't detract from the stay at all.

History, comfort and attention to detail make this a memorable hotel.

The history. The bar. The bathroom

The room could have used a little more furniture -- e.g., a second chair.

would recommend

location good on the high street with car park to rear of hotel

my room was noisy with other residents passing by my door, as the hotel is quite old floorboards are very squeaky, which is a little annoying

Disappointing!

The 3/4 rooms in the actual hotel were lovely. Decor.

I had booked 4 rooms in The George but 1 had to be across the road instead. Not at all happy! This is NOT what I booked. The room in the St Nicholas was over the road, noisy with windows open but no air con, so then boiling. A nice room but I had specifically wanted to stay at the George, so no frills for us! Girl on reception on check-in was very flippant when I was clearly upset that this had happened. She said it would all be in the booking details from Booking.com - which it wasn’t. It transpired that in fact the problem was with the hotel and it’s allocation of rooms from a central reservation?? The next day breakfast was given complimentary as a token of an apology.

Bad

I booked to this hotel via booking .com Try to give my wife some relaxation I rely on her being disabled myself I wanted to take the strain off her but My wife was taken very ill travelling to the hotel So we couldn't make the stay. Hospital instead.. They refused to return our money No emotion Was told the management would call me Nothing heard from them They not interested. This is how they treat the disabled

Good location so could walk to everywhere

The entrance and main staircase

The bathroom door was in a very awkward position and getting up the night had to figure out which way it opened. Room only cleaned o; two days nd had to get tea and coffee from reception

lots of promise but let down by poor pillows, street noise and heating that you had to wait to come on to warm room

great building with a real sense of history

pillows were very poor resulting in a poor nights sleep

Wish housekeeping staff/hotel staff were more honest

Gorgeous hotel with lots of history. Friendly staff and cute pub

I accidentally left my jacket in the wardrobe in the room when I checked out. When I called and emailed the next day to inquire about my jacket, the staff said it was not found. This is very disappointing as it was hanging in the wardrobe when I left. Surely it would have been found by housekeeping and turned into the lost and found. I find it unfathomable that the hotel staff said it was not found. I know it’s my fault for forgetting the jacket, but it seems suspicious that it was “not found” by housekeeping less than 24 hours after checking out. Very disappointing.

lovely stay, beautiful room. would absolutely return

beautiful room, bath was absolutely amazing

no room service in the evening as too busy - was definitely a disappointment as wanting cocktails. however, still excellent service all round otherwise and I could see that the restaurant and bar was heaving

exhausting trying to fix the issues we could have avoided if clear communication had happened in the first place and a £

The St Nicolas is where we had to send my parents due to your total lack of mobility access at the George. it was clean on the first of the two nights but on day 2 it wasn’t cleaned at all and we didn’t realise this until we arrived home from a long difficult day at the funeral for which we had come to the England. as well as not being cleaned there were no new towels left either

it wasn’t a hotel at all but a room similar to having a student residences than a hotel. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THE GEORGE ON THE PHONE FOR OVER A WEEK AND when We did it was someone offsite who put me in touch via email or some kind of messenger someone had answered the phone in the week before our arrival which they didn’t in the actual hotel across the road The George then this non hotel status could have been explained to us. my parents are elderly and my father was there to bury his brother having flown from Ireland and certainly didn’t want to be apart from the rest of the funeral party who were staying in the George. if they had to be in a separate building due to your lack of accessibility at the George then it would have been less traumatic for them if the St Nicolas Hotel was an actual hotel with a reception, a bar a common area like a lobby. in the time I should have been able to relax and get some food at the bar before it shut or locally I was busy trying to find an alternative for my family to their very unsuitable Accomodation
