"El único detalle fue que la señal de WiFi era muy pobre en el cuarto que nos asignaron (room 212). Fui a la recepción para comentar esta situación y mencionaron que lo iban a revisar, pero no hubo mejora. En las áreas comunes del hotel funcionaba perfectamente."

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

The North Hill Hotel, Colchester

8/10 Good
"The ground floor bar and entrance is lovely but that theme didn't follow to the rooms. Perhaps I should have paid for a better room but I was hoping for the same vibe upstairs. Rather than sleek and quirky it was more student basic in my opinion. The paint on the ceiling in the bedroom and the bathroom were peeling off and there was black on the ceiling above the shower. The room was functional. However the team were polite, friendly and efficient and instead of working in my room I worked downstairs in the relaxed bar area. I didn't have breakfast but when I checked out a couple were having what looked and smelled like I lovely cooked breakfast! I would stay again but would go for an upgrade room and hope it was more like those in the pictures."

Oyster Fleet Hotel

Oyster Fleet Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Booked online at short notice. I was happy with my stay-I’d certainly do it again. Whilst no oil painting from the outside, inside is a different kettle of fish. Reception was speedily done, and welcoming. Room sparsely but practically furnished with everything fully functional. Very generous supply of tea/coffee. Bathroom and towels very acceptable, as was the nice touch of Scottish Soap consumables. The bed linen and duvet were immaculate and the bed itself very well suited to sleep, not springy or saggy. Bar was cosy and lively. The restaurant was serene/calm…very nicely laid out with pristine table cloths and table lamps of a decently small but well lit size. You could date a date here, or your wife, or either. The waiting staff.. absolutely lovely.. (thanks T). I ordered a steak which came exactly as ordered with very nice home made chips. Felt the meal and wine was very acceptable indeed. For a cost effective business stay, without frills and tassels, but with good food and bed, it sure as hell gets my recommendation."
