Alvento are very polite in their communication and when you call the help line and have properties in 27 locations in the UK ! The house itself was OK , but I was not impressed with the sparsity of equipment in the property, nor the service provided by the property host , I will only be leaving a 1 star review , and that is for the charming dressing table and stool in the master bedroom ,Guest review byColinUnited Kingdom - 8.0

We coincided with Oktoberfest weekend at the castle. A major annual event. Even ended up in the pub with everyone late in the evening, which was entertaining and good-natured. We walked around town earlier during the day and found great places to stop off and to eat… Recommend Colchester for a weekend visitGuest review byPaulUnited Kingdom - 8.0

We only stayed overnight in Colchester and left round lunchtime, so didnt have much time to browse, but we went to a few places and walked round the park! We will come back again and visit the castle. The area around there looks beautiful, too!Guest review bywolfgangGermany - 10.0
Colchester is a beautiful town with lots of historic beauty.
Colchester is a beautiful town with lots of historic beauty. We only had two nights here, but would definitely visit again for longer. The centre is great for shopping, with many pedestrianised streets, and a mix of well-known shops, street vendors and local independent businesses. It's really not that large, so it's easy to walk around. Our favourite locations were the Firstsite art gallery and cafe, the Curzon cinema (next door), the Minories art gallery and the castle park. We also easily found some great restaurants. There seemed to be loads of Italian restaurants, but we preferred the Vietnamese and Japanese places. Our favourite shops were Red Lion Books on the High Street and Bestdays Vintage on Eld Lane, for great coffee, vintage clothes and music chat with the staff.Guest review byBobUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Colchester is great for a short weekend trip; it's not a large city, so everything is close by and it's easy to explore Colchester on foot. There are a range of different restaurants and pubs, to suit all needs. Add in places of historical interest such as the castle, and nature such as High Woods Country Park, and there's enough variety to keep busy for a few days. A historical tour is worth doing and the city has a nice relaxed atmosphere to it overall.Guest review byMike ChagouriUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We really enjoyed the Colchester Castle and tour, as well as the historical sites around town , such as the water tower and Balkan Gate. The park was lovely and the Dutch quarter was interesting to see. Nearby, we had a great visit to Frinton where the beach is lovely. Also we travel.ed to Flatford Mill and had a smashing boat trip. It was easy to walk around the town. We ate at Wetherspoons ( The Playhouse) which was a novel venue and Wei's kitchen where the food and the host were great.Guest review byRobertUnited Kingdom

- From $182.13 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 1,659 reviewsBeautiful old building, we booked to stay here as we were in Colchester for a gig. The four poster bed room was really worth the price. Comfy bed, lovely hotel bar and friendly staff. My partner had a ghostly experience around 6am someone pulled the cover up over him to tuck him in but I was fast asleep. A friendly ghost though. Would definitely book and stay again. 20 min walk from town. This hotel is definitely gonna be a lovely memory with my partner 😌Guest review byEliseUnited Kingdom
