"Jess and Maria are the best"
We had a lovely stay at Premier Inn, made truly memorable thanks to Jess and Maria. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were absolutely fantastic with my grandson – so kind and thoughtful. The food was hot and delicious, but the real highlight was the warm, friendly service. Jess and Maria are absolute stars and a credit to the team!
"Colchester visit"
Great stay in Colchester. Friendly professional staff and lovely food too. Room was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again.
"My colchester stay"
Lovely place to stay Staff are friendly and helpful 👌clean and comfortable and the food and drink 🍸ina quite location
"All good"
We stayed here for two nights covering a family wedding. Really pleased with the hotel though we didn't try the dinner/evening meal option so can't comment. Had comfortable room, comfortable bed (little bit high for one of us). Rooms cleaned daily if wished which we prefer. The manager is clearly very hands on with the hotel, one minute watching over brekkie (very good btw) the next sorting a taxi for a guest when rhe firm wasn't answering and then clearing up a spill from the floor. The location is very convenient, walkable to the Town Hall for the wedding and also just next to a lovely park All in all a very good stay
"Poor management, staff training needed!"
£10 per day for parking with no warning, even if you stop for a minute. Staff at reception were rude, dismissive, and often absent; you have to ring a bell just to be noticed, and telephone calls go unanswered (15 made in working hours). Rooms smelled damp and musky, adding to the overall neglect. For the price, a hostel would offer better value and respect.
