The George Of Colchester

“Cosy and memorable”

Great team, great location. Had a very nice stay early November. The bar serves good food and has a lot of atmosphere. The reception team are very helpful and always smiling. The park around the corner is well worth a visit especially on an early morning.

“Great taste balance.”

Enjoyed a very good meal. Arrived on a Friday evening and despite being full, were able to squeeze me in. The menu has altered very much for the better since my last attempt, two years ago. Highly recommend the seafood linguini. Served on a hot plate which is not a given in many restaurants. Th… Più

Enjoyed a very good meal. Arrived on a Friday evening and despite being full, were able to squeeze me in. The menu has altered very much for the better since my last attempt, two years ago. Highly recommend the seafood linguini. Served on a hot plate which is not a given in many restaurants. The balance of flavours was great. A hint of chilli in no way overpowered the delicate seafood. Well done.

“Too many negatives for a return stay....”

Negatives regarding this hotel, the parking we were not giving any alternative to parking at the hotel. The car park is very small and used by everyone, we had to wait for a space to become available.

Negatives regarding this hotel, the parking we were not giving any alternative to parking at the hotel. The car park is very small and used by everyone, we had to wait for a space to become available. The hotel bar was very busy and we were unable to get a drink, even though part of the bar area was cordoned off and I asked if we could purchase a drink and was told no get in the que however to many people sitting and standing in this area it's very awkward to get to the bar. We did not book a table for restaurant, we weren't advised to however the restaurant was completely booked, had we been advised then we would have booked. We have stayed at other suraya hotels and generally you can get a table in the restaurant. I found reception staff rude and too busy seeing what was going on in the bar rather than interested in what I was saying. Our room 201, the shower was cold and no I didn't report it, because trying to shower and no internal phone in the room. Lots of noise at night, into the early hours. The room ok, very minimal. Breakfast ok, but not as much on the menu has other hotels in group. However for all the negatives we found, and not a cheap hotel we did not experience the hotel, like we should have we won't be returning. just a shame the hotel staff did not pay more attention to there residents On a plus note lots of pubs and restaurants in Colchester town who do want your custom.

This was my 2nd time visiting for dinner, we came previously and loved the food but the service was poor unfortunately we had the same experience again. It took 20 mins for a jug of water to come and to order more drinks and food, the food was very slow in coming but it was a great quality well cooked meal. I had roast beef and couldn’t fault it, a great size portion and every element was perfect. The service was the worst we’ve experienced which was such a let down. No one came to see if we needed more drinks, our plates were eventually taken and we waited 25 mins for a dessert menu, someone came over and asked us if we wanted desserts and we said we’ve already asked for a menu and it never came we will just have the bill now. No apology or anything. It seemed the staff must have changed during our visit and we were forgotten. 2 tables next to us had to go up to the bar to order their drinks and ask for someone to come and take their order. The front of house definitely let the chefs down with this one.
