This is still nice and new and shiny and clean: that's good. Room was a good size. After that it goes downhill ... The mattress was lumpy, and there was a lot of noise from the busy road outside. If you are a light sleeper, you should try and insist on a room at the back that might be better.... More

We have stayed here twice now. Paid around £72 a night so not overly cheap but the rooms are spacious and clean. It's attached to a restaurant / pub which do lovely food and quite reasonable. Would recommend staying here if you need to be close to Colchester (it says cental but it is about 5-10 min car journey still... More

Well this was our 3rd stay in 3yrs. We have used this Premier for a base so we can go from here to attend our annual Regimental Reunion. We used to use another hotel which closed down and one which we were very fond of. We never thought we could find another like it but in fact we have been... More

We travel quite a lot and I must say that this premiere inn was by far the nicest. complete with wet room. The staff were really helpful and the restaurant was very nice indeed.

We recieved a text the day before to remind us of the booking and all got a call the morning of from reception, to make... More

Another stay at this very friendly hotel. Staff are excellent and caring. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. restaurant is good too. Shall be back in a few months. The location is very handy for just walking into town or to the park which is nearby. Very friendly squirrels!!

Very conveniently located close to the Institute. Staff were very friendly and helpful which was very welcome as we'd had a terrible journey. The room was fine: my daughter had the double bed as she was the one who needed to be well rested for the following day. I had the sofa bed which was right next to the window... More

Second to... More
