I went to Colchester with my girlfriend to watch her brother and his band who were playing a gig at a near by pub, Pat Malloys. I live localish to Colchester, and was going to get a taxi, but my girlfriend thought why not get a hotel room for the night and booked us in at North Hill Hotel. The... More

This hotel is good overall with all the usual suspects present and correct. The breakfast was very nice (although I found the scrambled egg a bit too salty), very good orange juice and coffee though. My room was a bit noisy as it over looked the main road, and it seemed the walls were a bit thin as noise transmitted... More

Being a Colchester resident, until April 2013, I never thought I would have the opportunity to stay at the North Hill Hotel. My husband and I have had many memorable meals at the Green Room but did not get the chance to sample the hotel facilities until just before we emigrated to Florida. We stayed in room 34 for 2...

Stay very nice - polite and new what they were talking about. Prices reasonable. Restaurant food nice - what is says on the menu you get on the plate - but not fantastic.... More

Hi Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed your stay, plenty of useful points. One comment I have to make is with regards to the bed size. UK Kingsize beds are 5ft wide (they are still all sold in imperial measures for some reason) All our rooms that are sold as kingsize have 5ft beds (we have one which is... More

This was the third visit for my wife and I and we chose it once more for its convenience. It is only a short walk to the centre, and it has an excellent restaurant. It is small but very welcoming. The staff are first class and the food delicious. Our previous experience told us that we would have to park... More

Picked this hotel for it location. It within easy walking distance of Colchester High Street with its numerous pubs and restaurants. This is a small family run hotel with 17 bedrooms. Bedroom was clean with all the amenities but really small. Minimal storage space and no-where to put my suitcase. I was facing the street so the room was really... More

Staff were friendly and welcoming and the bar area and dining room were stylish and modern. Our bedroom was at the top of two flights of narrow stairs and was very small and a little bit tired. I think the funds had been spent on the outside of the building and the public areas. Overall, a good experience, but not... More

Checked in OK and parked to the rear of the hotel only to find they no longer have access to the area we parked in. There is some parking available but only between 6pm and 8 am. They offer overnight parking in Nunns road at £5. The room was nice and recently decorated, it was in a separate building to... More

Caters extremely well for the business traveller - way more personal service than chain hotels that target that market. High standards prevail thoroughout - cleanliness and service in particular. There is also clearly a Chef in the kitchen - dinner and breakfast both very good. Every member of staff unfailingly helpful and friendly - which suggests an ethos, rather than... More

This overnight stay linked with our attendance at a celebration dinner party in the Green Room. Lack of parking might be seen as an inconvenience by some, but there is an easy drop off zone just outside the hotel, who ably direct to an NCP opposite; they will exchange the parking token for a voucher at £5, and for us...
