Girls weekend
Very friendly helpful staff, room was smaller than expected but was fine for what we needed. Only down side was the phone screen in the room kept turning on about every 30 mins or so in the night hence lighting up the whole room. Breakfast excellent.

An excellent overnight city stay. Value for money.
Friendly welcome. Tidy well proportioned room. Some street noise but not enough to interfere with good comfortable nights sleep. Rooms away from street available. Nice clean bathroom with very efficient shower. Breakfast served to table arrived as order and good quality. Again staff curteous efficient and well presented. Will stay there again.

Wonderful stay with a nice team
Really lovely property. Friendly staff. Room was comfy and had aircon. Overall a 5 star stay. Would not hesitate to stay again. Great value too. The only thing was, the King Room I stayed in was over the dining room, it was enclosed within the conservatory, which mean the lights from that space were directly in the same "space". Hard to explain but it meant the bedroom was really bright through all the windows. That room could really do with better fitting curtains and even black out blinds.

We stayed at North Hill hotel during a warm weekend so needed the window open for air. Unfortunately directly outside the window was some kind of extractor fan or generator than ran at changing volumes and rhythms, all night- it was essentially like listening to a washing machine on spin cycle with no end. Add this to the old-style sprung mattress where when sharing you feel every movement the other person makes, plus a wired phone that for some reason illuminates the entire room (enough to read by) at unknown intervals, and sleep was pretty elusive. It’s a shame as the room and bathroom were pretty spacious and extremely clean, plus in a really convenient location. Fine for heavy sleepers, I’d imagine- otherwise I wouldn’t recommend.

Absolutely fantastic choice if you want a budget option that doesn't feel like budget (who doesn't)?! I had booked an alternative on the High Street, but cancelled and plumped instead for North Hill Hotel having read their review. I didn't eat there, but you'd be hard pushed for a better venue for the price. When I stay there again I'll be trying the bar out! Thanks for a wonderful two night stay.

No breakfast !
I’m had a single room and the bed was comfy . Unfortunately there seemed to be no soundproofing and I was kept awake by guy downstairs coughing and guy above pacing up and down all night . We were told that breakfast would be served between 07.30 and 10.30 am , so I and my son and his partner arrived in dinning hall at 09.30 am , after taking our order for a full English breakfast , the waiter returned minutes later to say that the chef had gone and that we were to late . Despite other guests also insisting that reception had given them same breakfast times as us the staff continued to blame us all for being late ! Such a shame as I’ve heard good reviews about the food , we all left feeling hungrey .

I had a really pleasant stay. The bed was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was lovely, and all the staff from housekeeping to the servers to the shift managers were delightful. The room was a bit tired, but I didn’t mind that. The only downside was unfortunately I was there during a heatwave. There’s no air on and my room was east facing so was roasting from dawn. I had a fan in the room, which helped, but it was quite uncomfortable and on a noisy road so couldn’t keep window open at night. If I’d stayed on any of the other 51 weeks of the year when it’s cold, it would have been absolutely fine.

House keeping came in 3 times, 7.30, 9.30 and again at 10.30. On each occasion she was asked not to come back as not required. The last visit she didn’t even knock and came straight in. I wasn’t happy and she was getting me stressed as I was vacating at 11. Other than that my stay was lovely.

Legendary Shower and pleasant stay
Very professional and friendly welcome after a long conference day. Room was small but perfect for myself. Bed comfy. The shower was AMAZING, strong and hot. Slept well and the full English Breakfast was just what was needed. Very pleasant stay. Thank you!

Hotel was fine for a one night stay with good breakfast. Room was clean and reasonably comfortable, though rather small and I found it rather stuffy at night (though an electric fan was available in the room). Hotel is fairly central, convenient if arriving at Colchester Town Station and for town centre. It's not luxury but reasonable value for what I paid. Staff seemed quite welcoming too.
