Well located hotel in an old building.

Review of Best Western The Rose And Crown Hotel Colchester
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 17 Nov 2019
Conveniently situated not too far from the centre - 15 minutes walk. Or bus stop right outside. Spacious comfortable room at the end of a quiet corridor. Very friendly staff and the buffet breakfast was excellent. Car parking was good so we were able to explore some seaside locations. Would not hesitate to stay here again. (Bit late with my review but I forgot)

Rose & Crown

The Rose & Crown is an excellent hotel for a stay in Colchester. Within 15 minutes walk of the centre it is perfectly placed to see all the attractions. The hotel itself is in a old 14th century coaching inn and has a lovely feel to it. The rooms are well maintained and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent and cooked freshly for you. Very nice bar area and they even have real ale. Would definitely recommend.

A piece of history in the middle of the city

If you are looking to stay in a place that makes you resemble the past of the the 1st city in United Kingdom, this is the perfect place.
Next to Colchester downtown, this medieval stile property, will offer you amazing rooms, beautiful pub and amazing food options.
Its a very well recommended place to stay.

Good stay, convenient location

Had a short overnighter - staff really friendly. Carparking was a little tight but managed to get a space. Stayed in the Annex - modern well appointed room. Would certainly stay again - very good location for access to town.

Unique atmosphere

The bar, restaurant and lobby all hold true to the age and era of the building. The rooms are wonderfully updated. Our only complaint was the condition of the mattress.
I was there with my daughter for the Uni open day and was thrilled to be able to book at the Rose and Crown. We had tried over the summer but it was full. A great overall experience and will always be my first choice while in Colchester.

Comfortable stay

Although a period hotel, they do also have a separate annex building where the rooms are modern, comfortable and clean. Hotel facilities are average with no room service after 9.30pm and breakfast not ready at published opening hours. Otherwise, staff were all friendly and nice. Sits around a 15 minute walk to the city centre.

Room tip: Room in the annex building will be best.
