University of Essex - Colchester Campus

Clean room. Difficult to find way round campus at first. God value staying here.

I was very happy with the room itself and the price I paid for it booking only couple of days beforehand. Nice and fresh with lots of storage and a clean ensuite bathroom I'd compare the facilities to Travelodge or Ibis(but no TV). However. This being a university campus, it was A bit difficult to find and park in the correct place and was quite a walk to reception and the actual room. Got given a map of the campus and had to find the room myself. Not the easiest task with a luggage -just Keep that in mind. Also I guess my timing wasn't great as all the students returning to uni after the summer holiday's meant lot's of noise and partying at night - not a quiet place to sleep for sure (thanks God for earplugs) - but it might be quieter during the school holidays. Would I stay again at the price? Probably yes given I couldn't find anything else. P.s. the grounds are fantastic with a nice park and lovely lakes and lots of benches to sit down and enjoy the surroundings.

Real value for money. A bit difficult to find your way around as it is a big campus, but it was 2nd visit for me, so it was a breeze

The only fault I could find is the actual finding of the property. The postcode provided takes you to the main car park which is quite a way from where you collect your keys and then further still to the property. I would advise to call before hand to find out the closest parking. The room was spotless and the bed was comfy. Staff were really friendly and very helpful.
