Holiday Inn Express 科爾切斯特(Holiday Inn Express Colchester)

Chosen for the price I was very pleasantly surprised at the service from the helpfulness of the receptionist to the breakfast prep guys and the cleanliness of the room. Tricky to find but a jewel of a hotel.

Had a great stay at Holiday Inn Express Colchester amd the staff were very friendly and polite. Food was great too.

Hello there I booked long time ago But not sure if this hotel has cancelled my booking

Just stopped at services next to this hotel and their toilet facilities were broken so we tried to use them at this hotel next door . We weren't even allowed into the hotel and the guy was laughing at us when he said we couldn't use their facilities . Never been treated so bad and certainly wouldn't use their hotel in future

Pleasantly surprised. Room extremely clean. Bathroom was immaculate. Nice fluffy white towels. Plenty of hot water. Beds are okay. Not firm but that didn’t really bother as only staying one night. Breakfast was satisfactory. The scrambled eggs very yummy. Fresh fruit. Plenty to choose from. Friendly staff. We would return without hesitation.

The hotel staff are very helpful and friendly and sorted us out on our arrival as we were there early for the football and helped us to get a Taxi to the ground. Our room was clean and tidy, a few marks about and furnishings were a little dusty and could have been done with replacing if I wanted to be picky but I was only there to sleep so it do t really matter. The breakfast was a buffet style breakfast which was spot on for me however the Hash browns were not the best but the rest of the food is good and kept warm which can be a pain on a buffet breakfast but not issues for me. The reason I have only done a 4 out of 5 is because of the cob webs that are on the pictures and ceiling in the dining area and we also found 2 dead spiders in the corridors, just a little bit more detail to cleaning in this area for me. But for the price we paid for a twin room with breakfast it's a tick for me.

Top tip if your staying here find somewhere else to go for breakfast.. breakfast was inedible, I have never had a breakfast that bad anywhere!! The bed was awful and the sofa bed for the kids was awful First time staying at a holiday inn.. never ever again!

There is nothing to really recommend this property other thjan price. It is next to a petrol station and one other building just alongside the A12. There is nothing attractive but parking is fine. A small and expensive evening meal menu is available. Breakfast is buffet style with not quite as much on offer as is usual. The food is ok and the service is good, clearing and cleaning tables and topping up the food. Rooms are a reasonable size but no shelves and no drawers so you live out of your travel bag. Therre are coat hangers on an open rack. One bedside light could not be switched off and the room was not serviced one day even though it had been requested. Planty of hot water and a good shower.

The hotel was a little tired, and there was a bit of a drain smell in the bathroom. The staff were excellent and nothing was a problem for them.
