Very old historical building but tired and needs a thorough cleaning. Nice architecture but could be so much better.

It as a beautiful 1400 Grade 1-listed building, which was great, but I had problems with the shower. In my initial room the water was lukewarm at best. I was moved to another where the water was hot but the shower was weak. The staff were excellent and the breakfast was good. They had soya milk for my coffee.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The ambiance of the hotel was very welcoming and it was what it said, a Tudor building. It was what we wanted, Quirky. All the staff were excellent, friendly and most helpful. The only negative was that the street outside was very noisy at night but that is not the fault of the hotel as we were in the centre of Colchester. Over all it was a very positive experience.

The room was very dusty and dirty. The receptionist said there will be 24hr service on the reception desk, but no one was to be seen during the evening. I would not recommend this hotel at all..

They hosted us as part of a wedding party and it was very special. Everything from staff to food to charm was excellent. My only complaint would be about cleanliness of the shower, and water temp issues - but the latter is what one expects in a very old building.

Liked: Staff & service
It's a very old property and a bit run down in places but has lots of character. The staff were very helpful and considerate allocating me a quieter room. It was a cold night but the hotel was heated well. The bathroom and bed was ok, but there was only a small TV in the room. The breakfast options were a bit limited but the cooked breakfast was reasonably good. Overall a good stay and at a reasonable price.
