overall a pleasant stay. Wifi needs serious attention, as does the key fobs to the rooms. We had to return down stairs several times to get fobs reset. Could not fault the staff. Very friendly and helpful.

A relaxing time away from my normal busy schedule. Received an excellent welcome at the front desk which set the tone of our stay, thoroughly enjoyed the break!!!

The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are clean and have recently been modernised. Rooms are decorated nicely and are always clean with fresh bedding and towels.
The restaurant menu is a little limited, but the food is nice, and has always been served hot and promptly. The only negative comment I have is the food and drinks are a bit on the expensive side. Introducing a meal deal would be good for business users.
Excellent Service

This is my favorite of all the Holiday Inns that i have stayed in over the last 25 years, (previously Forte group) and is ideally located for Colchester/Zoo/Clacton/etc. Unfortunately over the years we have noticed a decrease in trade in the restaurants and bar areas at most of the hotels we stay in (excluding city breaks) and here is no exception. On our stay we were the last in the restaurant on a Saturday night by about 9.15pm and with not many in the bar and no background music or atmosphere we went to our room with a bottle of wine instead where as in the past we might of stayed at the bar until 1am!! The restaurant menu is very limited through out the group and i think they could tempt people back with a relaunch of menus from several years ago that i know to of been popular, in turn attracting people to the bar before and after meals. The aircon was not working in our room and seems not to be everytime we stay here which is a shame as the rooms are very hot in summer. Apart from that this remains our favorite and we will be back, and would recommend. My final wish would be to see the Traders bar re-dressed in a trading post style like it used to be, with suit cases and canoes in the rafters, fake fur backed seating at the bar, and fishing rods on the walls.
A good business base

The hotel is on the outskirts of Colchester and traffic is heavy in the morning and evening. The health and fitness facilities, although not used, were a bonus if you require that bit extra from your stay. I stayed for an evening meal and I thought the menu was a bit limited and slightly overpriced. On check out a service charge for the meal was levied, which you can opt out of if you were made aware, I wasn't.
Reliable Holiday Inn

I travel for business and have learnt to value a smooth check in and check out process. The Holiday Inn Colchester met my expectations, and also provided needed and urgent out of hours business support to prepare and print information for my meeting the next day.
Convenient, comfortable and excellent service.

A good night's sleep in a clean comfortable room made for an excellent visit. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and both were freshly prepared and of high quality.
The service was excellent and all the staff members that we met were very efficient and friendly.

Staff unorganised. Unable to inform guests of correct times breakfast is served. Room was not 100% clean. Not much variety on food menus.
Good location, Value for money, Health Club as wel!

Great location for Colchester. Very close to the Zoo and only 5 mins away from football ground. Health Club was nice to use which had nice littel gym with various excercise machines and weights machinces, plus a small swimming pool to do a few lengths in with a lovely hot jacuzzi for afterwards. Friendly staff all round the hotel. Always willing to help and provide information. Restaurant area was nice and food good. Loads of parking. Would stay again when in the area.
