Top Tenpin Bowling Colchester Hotel Reviews

St Nicholas Hotel

"Spacious room, excellent location for Castle museum."

Star Anglia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"All very good thanks 😊 plenty of parking spaces"

GreyFriars

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect Got to be the best hotel in Colchester by far"

Sleek & Exquisite 3 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and comfortable property, near to city center. Owner was very responsive."

Cottage in the centre

8/10 Good

"Very nice cottage in ideal location for the town centre. Check in was smooth and the cottage was very clean and tidy. My husband and I stayed with our adult son who was house hunting in Colchester. It might not be suitable for someone with poor mobility as the stairs were very narrow and steep and the bathroom was downstairs, but it was fine for us. Also very well equipped. Leaving a brolly would have been useful as we got caught in a shower walking to the car park...!"

Central Colchester - Just 3 minutes walk to Colchester Castle and High Street!

10/10 Excellent

"Old Carriage House converted into a wonderful apartment. We loved the location of this stay. We were just a short walk down from Colchester Castle and High Street, where we could find a wide range of pubs, restaurants, and shops. The city centre train station was just a short walk away as well. Thank you to our host for the awesome check-in and also for the lift to the "other" train station for our trip back into London. If we are ever in the Colchester area again, we will definitely stay here again. : )"
