We arrived quite late at 7:30pm. The staff member on reception was very friendly and accommodating and advised that we had been upgraded to the newly renovated rooms as they had availability. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable and well provisioned. I have been lucky enough to stay in a couple of fancy hotels, including Hayman Island on the Great Barrier Reef, and the rooms we had at Marks Tey were on a par and better than those hotel rooms. Excellent value for money for our last-minute booking. Menu looked tasty and great value, but we had already eaten so didn't try the food on this occasion.

The staff was very friendly when I asked I could switch rooms, the front was very noisy in the first night. My second room was on the top floor on the side, much more quiet and with a balcony as a bonus! The wonderful breakfast buffet for only 8 pounds, 12 if you add a full English breakfast. It is part of The George on the opposite of the street, there you can check in and eat. Wonderful breakfast and dinner.

Colchester Castle and Museum absolutely brilliant especially for children. We went on a Sunday morning and found cheap parking near Castle Park but can imagine that it would be a nightmare to drive around Colchester on a weekday without entering bus lanes and one way systems!

Colchester is an excellent base for travelling the neighbouring places of interest. I stayed there for the history of the city and there is plenty to see. City centre in 21st century isn't great.

Alvento are very polite in their communication and when you call the help line and have properties in 27 locations in the UK ! The house itself was OK , but I was not impressed with the sparsity of equipment in the property, nor the service provided by the property host , I will only be leaving a 1 star review , and that is for the charming dressing table and stool in the master bedroom ,

We coincided with Oktoberfest weekend at the castle. A major annual event. Even ended up in the pub with everyone late in the evening, which was entertaining and good-natured. We walked around town earlier during the day and found great places to stop off and to eat… Recommend Colchester for a weekend visit

We only stayed overnight in Colchester and left round lunchtime, so didnt have much time to browse, but we went to a few places and walked round the park! We will come back again and visit the castle. The area around there looks beautiful, too!

The hotel is situated right in the centre of Colchester, ideal for visiting the Castle, pubs and shops. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was excellent. Breakfast was really good too. The hotel was spotlessly clean in our room and all public areas.
