I travel regularly for business and I am not usually so impressed as to write a review on the hotels I stay in. The staff at this hotel were very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The lounge area was pleasant and the breakfasts were buffet but good choices. Location good too. All round a very... More

The welcome was great, glass of wine on arrival. Very friendly faces at reception. Nothing was to much trouble for them whatever you asked for. Rooms nice loads of room comfy bed. Food nice depending on chef. Couldn't fault the breakfasts any day of week. Staff really jaded you feel welcome. Even the manager of hotel was serving and cleaning... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Colchester the night before we left on a cruise, which was departing from Harwich International Port. Colchester is about 30 minutes from Harwich, and travelers can commute by train or car. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were warmly greeted at the front desk and offered complimentary wine or juice. The desk clerk assisted... More

Stayed overnight to attend a wedding nearby. We were six adults and a baby. We arrived at 11.30am as the wedding was at 2pm and were hoping the hotel could help with somewhere for us all to change. We had booked 3 rooms and despite the fact we were very early we were given the keys to our rooms so... More

We have just held our daughters wedding at hotel and cannot be happier, Sharon and events team who put together our package could not have been more helpful, professional and always eager to ensure our wishes were met and above all very friendly.

We arrived early and enjoyed a snack for lunch whilst the rooms were being prepared. Fantastic swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. Great view from the room of... More

At present as I sit in the bar of this establishment I must say that I am disappointed in the overall running of this hotel. Having been invited to a wedding and previously checking out the location (for photographic reason's ) of the venue it seemed pretty good. On arrival were checked it and our room was small but clean... More

We have just stayed at the Holiday Inn Colchester for 2 nights from 26th-28th May. From the moment we arrived to the time of leaving, we were made most welcome. We were given a free drink on check in including wine, which was a lovely welcome and not had at another Holiday inn we have stayed in. Reception Staff were... More

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by Katherine and Indre, who not only gave us a complimentary glass of wine but also took our luggage to our room while we had a relaxing drink. This hotel has a really happy ethos, is well laid out and both the pool and spa and the rooms are... More
