Colchester is a brilliant town to visit, you have the old and new part to walk round ranging from a good collection of shops and food outlets to browse and walking round the various churches, castle, monastery ruins and lovely parks.
The town is within walking distance of both train stations, taxis are plenty also. Take a good pair of comfy walking attire for feet as you will be walking up and down gradients!! A great place to visit on the local bus is Manningtree where there is a antiques emporium to walk round with a great cafe in the high street for food.
If visiting Colchester for the first time I recommend staying at least a minimum of 4 days as their is a lot to see of interest. Lots of charity shops too!!
For families do visit Colchester Zoo which is a great day out, this can be reached by bus also if you do not drive.

Colchester is a gem.
Colchester is a gem. Lovely architecture and sights, good cafes and pubs, shopping and eateries. It's not at all dog friendly, though, which is a big drawback if you ask me. Come on, Colchester, Britain loves its pets!
Nicely located on Colchester High Street within walking distance of most nearby amenities. Bed decently comfortable, plug sockets by the bed, and of course free Wi-Fi. Staff were very polite and friendly, and the service was very efficient. I slept very well and was easily able to walk to Castle Park, local restaurants and shops, and Colchester Town train station from the hotel. I wouldn't bother with the breakfast, as you have many options on the High Street and nearby, within spitting distance, for much cheaper.
Due to the train strike by Greater Anglier (30 Sep 2023 to 04 Oct 2023), I had to stay in Colchester for a few nights for work purpose. When I checked in, I was greeted by Roland (the hotel manager). He helped me settle down in my lovely ensuite bedroom and enriched me with the history of Colchester. He provided excellent customer service for all the guests of the hotel. This hotel is highly recommended, and I hope everyone who goes to Colchester Boutique Hotel will feel comfortable and delighted.
The hotel was ideally placed for us, being equidistant between the two family groups we were in Colchester to visit.
It was competitively priced, the room and bathroom were clean, the shower was decent and the beds were very comfortable for us. Also, the quality of the breakfast was quite good and at £10 per person, represented good value. And finally, all the members of staff we had contact with were very friendly and helpful.
I liked the location, the people working their are super nice, as well as the building and the old style. I liked the style of the hotel from the building itself to the furniture but you will like only if you like traditional old styles. I don't recommend it to someone who like fancy super stars hotel. not because it is not nice but because they will put bad reviews because it won't meet their expectations
Comprehensive instructions on location and approach to the hotel were much appreciated. We were shown to our room, which was beautifully appointed and the bed was very comfortable. there were plenty of complimentary drinks and toiletries. The towels were soft and large, the wet room shower was good and the courtyard quiet. Staff were very polite and friendly and we will definately be staying again.
The hotel is located in a beautiful area, whilst still being close to local amenities. Inside the room, it was very clean and was very pleased to see a bath. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying with you again on our next visit to Colchester Zoo.
The room was smart and modern and very clean and spacious. Enjoyed the breakfast which is served over the road in The George, the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location in the centre of this historic town and I would not hesitate to use it again.
The hotel is situated right in the centre of Colchester, ideal for visiting the Castle, pubs and shops. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. Breakfast was really good too. The hotel was spotlessly clean in our room and all public areas.
Great location in the city centre. There is paid parking behind the hotel. The hotel itself is gorgeous and rooms were spacious and comfortably designed. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
Perfect location close to Colchester Town centre. Quiet at night.
Had adequate facilities. Very clean. Spacious living area with dining table. Would highly recommend and would book again.
