St Nicholas Hotel0

The balcony and views

The room was supposed to be larger with a sofa but I was given a different room to what I actually booked

Location was great, I like to hear some hustle and bustle at night but I know its not for everyone. But that's what you get being on a high street. Decoration and style was great, always nice being in such an old building but the decoration and detail was spot on. A shame about being charged for breakfast as it was included with the rest of the wedding parties price. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Recommended getting the wings at the centurion pub down the road which was a good tip. Rooms were clean, showers were powerful, but the pillows were a bit firm. Maybe I being a princess but just being honest! Overall great stay, and would definitely stop again if visiting the area. Ps good speakers in the lobby area

Pillows were hard and breakfast wasn't included in the price whereas friends was. Nitpicking at best.

The breakfast was amazing!!! We had a bit of an issue with the first room but we got really quick assistance and changed rooms. The staff is really helpful and the location is quite central. There were clubs and bars around which made it hard to sleep during the night but if you plan to go out then it's quite ideal.

There weren't clear instructions on how to check in. We had to check-in in at another hotel nearby, luckily another person staying at the same hotel instructed us where we should go. Also, we had to pay £25 additionally as a pre-auth which would be released after our visit - this isn't the most convenient.

1. Location is at the heart of Colchester. We arrived by National Express bus and the stop is just 3 mins walk to the hotel. 2. Room is modern and comfortable. Bathroom with shower and modern too. 3. This hotel has a lift so really love it as I was travelling with heavy luggages. 4. My room comes with hot bfast at The George. Simple but delicious bfast with amazing atmosphere of The George.

1. Check in is at The George Hotel across the road as the hotel doesnt have a reception. 2. I booked a disabled room. The photos show that the room comes with a sofa but the one that I got has no sofa.

We were given a free upgrade and had a huge room with a wraparound balcony which was fab! Staff were really nice, and helpful. We were given a 20% off food at the sister hotel opposite. The food was really nice! Definitely recommend it. Breakfast was also over at The George and again was really good.

Trying to get to the George's car park was a nightmare! You'll need to get a permit from the council to drive diwn the high street ( easy to get and free though) and don't use the hotel postcode as it takes you to the wrong side of the bollards. It was also incredibly hot in the hotel, even with windows and the balcony door open. There was a fan in the wardrobe though luckily.

Great location, friendly staff and affiliated to the George Hotel across the road which meant we could buy food and drinks and put it on your room.

The floor fan was really loud found the noise from the fan made it hard to sleep and there is no airconditioning (only heating) we did find that we needed the aircon but the only option is the fan which is loud and over bearing at times. But everything else was perfect..

location: it was situated in the middle of town centre so everything was easy to get to. we had to get to Colchester castle for a wedding and it was so close, made it stress-free for us. room size: much bigger than expected. very comfortable. bed: it was hard mattress which we loved. shower: good pressure

room temperature: it was so warm we didn’t sleep too well. according to the thermostat, the room was constantly around 24/25 degrees. tv: it kept turning itself on randomly but couldn’t turn it off at the mains. it freaked us out a lot cos it would turn itself on randomly like 1am.

The location was excellent, being central to all the sightseeing attractions and restaurants. Loved the view from the balcony and the morning breakfast was good.

The only thing we were not pleased with was the restaurant staff at the George hotel. We ate lunch there one afternoon and had the worst service on our entire trip. The waiter never checked on us, never refilled our drinks, took his time taking our orders and we had to hunt him down and ask him for refills or service. Will not be eating in the restaurant AGAIN!

the room was amazing! and even when I got moved to another room, that one was equally amazing! The zie of the room, the cleanliness, the comfort of the bed, the ambience - I could go on.

I had issues with the first room as there was no TV remote in the room, and the hotel could not find a replacement. As a result, I got moved to another room that had a remote control. The whole process was tedious though, as the reception for the hotel is in another building across the street.

I liked the location easy reach of centre. The shower unit was pretty good. Plenty of room and closet space.

There was a smoke alarm that had a flashing light that went off every few seconds. Light keeps me awake so I had to buy an eye mask to be able to sleep. The lift stopped working for a day but was fixed quite quickly.
