Holiday Inn Colchester by IHG

Great Location nice and quiet, 10 minute drive into Colchester city centre. We were greeted upon arrival and offered drinks. Modern looking, recently decorated inside. Tasty food at the restaurant and great little gym and swimming pool included. Breakfast included with out stay. Spacious bathroom in room and reception is oversized with a kids corner full of toys for them to play with. Value for money wise, you can't go wrong and given there's activities such as swimming and the little play corner, it really is inviting for families.

I stayed at this Hotel with my son as a birthday treat for him. I messaged beforehand to let them know it was my son's birthday and all I can say is WOW! My son was treated like royalty, he was given gifts (of the snack variety), a card and complimentary drinks, all played out beautifully in our room. We then booked a table for dinner to be met with a beautifully dressed table, wonderful staff wishing him happy birthday, his kids buffet meal was free and he was sung to with cake and candles (all arranged by exceptional staff). My son was elated and could not believe how special he was made to feel!!! Our evening meal was lovely, nice portion size and not too pricey! Breakfast was also lovely, lovely selection of both continental and cooked breakfast options. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay and would recommend to all people of any age. Staff were absolutely amazing, I wish I could do more to thank them!

Restaurant was excellent Staff were incredibly helpful including refreezing our ice blocks for us We were also very grateful for the complimentary breakfast Some of the party also enjoyed the pool and sauna The beds were also incredibly comfortable

Staff were fantastic - every staff member was really welcoming and super friendly, I could not fault the staff's attitudes at all. Swimming pool and changing rooms very clean and tidy - perfect sized pool for our one night. Great that it had a family area so the kids could play with their floaties and swimming toys. Room was clean and tidy - bedding comfortable. one minor comment regarding wine glasses in the room (see what we didn't like comment box).

The staff were friendly professional and very accommodating. The pool and the changing rooms were clean and warm. Nice hot showers and free hairdryer. The restaurant was clean and staff friendly and very helpful. The food and drink was delicious. The venue was quiet and peaceful and we felt very relaxed. The room was spacious and very clean. The bed was clean and had lovely comfortable bedding. The extra comfortable chair and table in the room was a lovely addition. Hot running water. The view from our room was pleasant and although there is a train that runs past we could hardly hear it.
