The George of Colchester

New Room

Hotel is fantastic, great facilities beautiful rooms. My room was great except no internet to tv so didn’t work and air con not available as no power to it. The room had only just been refurbed and I was first to stop in it so apart from the tv and aircon everything was perfect. Bar is lovely and staff are great

Very friendly and good rooms. Enjoyed our stay. Only issue was, it was very hot in the room as it was mid summer. Can do with a bigger fans or aircon

Moved to St Nicholas House not happy with that!

The George Hotel was actually shut for refurbishment, we received an email saying we would be staying in a new part of the hotel St Nicholas House on the opposite side of the High Street to the George. This was fine, newly fitted out and very smart but no breakfast, presumably this will be available in the George when it is open. The room was very hot with no aircon only a fan so windows needed to be open for comfort. Friday night, outside was very noisy until 3am. A mixture of passing revellers between pubs and clubs and young lads with very loud Corsas racing up and down. Saturday night the same only it continued until 430am. Based on this we will not be staying again until the George Hotel proper is open again, St Nicholas to be avoided unless you are out clubbing until 4am or own a loud Corsa.

Hotel from Hell... St Nicholas Colchester

Had previously stayed at the George and knew what facilities were available, so booked to stay at the George Hotel again back in January. Spoke to a member of staff on Thursday 18.7.19 regarding my reservation but she forgot to mention one thing THE GEORGE WAS CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT! Arrived at hotel to find a piece of paper telling us to go across the road to the St. Nicholas hotel. This is a self service check in at the hotel, which kept saying our room wasn't ready. Pressed a bell for someone to come and sort out the problem. Heat in corridors was ridiculous and in the bed room even worse... it was 28 degrees even with tge window open. There was no air conditioning just a large fan which made it impossible to sleep because of the noise it made. Hinge came off shower door which my husband has to fix as no phone in room to contact anyone. No bar or restaurant facilities had to go across the road to a Mexican restaurant for breakfast, just happy it wasn't raining. Was suppose to be a relaxing weekend instead it was a weekend from he'll!! I know many people who stayed also complained about the heat in the rooms.

No directions as to where to go once we arrived at George. St. Nicholas was not visible at all. Poor signage. No live person to check in or even to let us in building. Only one key card was given at machine. Hotel rooms and hallway were dangerously hot and no ventilation in building. Could not open windows because the noise and swearing, screaming and destruction on the streets was intolerable. Breakfast was down the street at a Mexican restaurant. Would not have requested the breakfast option had we know. This ahead of time. Machine did not allow us to check out so we just left

The hotel is in the middle of a renovation, so we were upgraded to a room with a balcony across the street at the St. Nicholas. Nice place, but zero air conditioning, not a problem for the rooms as they had doors opening on to the balcony, but as soon as you got out the lift..oh boy! Ridiculously hot. Breakfast was mediocre, breakfast service not great.

The George is just starting a huge renovation project with is well overdue. It is tired and dirty. At the end of last year it opened a new building opposite called St Nicholas house. It is brand new and the rooms are very well appointed and some gave balconies, with good views of the castle and town and further afield. Cleaning there is not brilliant, which is a shame as it won’t last if not looked after properly. Only criticism is there is no air con and the rooms are too hot, but as it is on the high street too noisy to have windows open. If you want to be in the centre of Colchester, then this is a good hotel, but if you want a quiet break away then this isn’t good as clubbing etc does not stop until 3.30am. Very close to castle and good restaurants around. Not far from zoo.
