Hotel description
With free parking and free Wi-Fi, this Tudor building dates back to 1604 and is situated on the banks of the River Colne, close to Colchester’s town centre and the railway station.
Originally built in the 17th century, the Riverside Hotel has 18 en suite rooms, all with tea/coffee making facilities. Both of Colchester’s railways stations are just a short walk away, with London Liverpool Street only 50 minutes away by train. The port of Harwich is also within easy reach.
Colchester is England’s oldest recorded town and the hotel makes a great base from which to explore the area’s Roman, Saxon and Norman heritage. Colchester Castle and its beautiful grounds are just a short journey away. The East Anglian coastline is also within easy reach, as is Flatford Mill, the inspiration for John Constable's The Hay Wain. The hotel is just a short distance from the leisure centre, the theatre and Colchester Zoo, with nightclubs and Colchester’s main business parks also close by.

May 16, 2011The signage to the reception was a bit confusing, but I managed to find it. The room was good and I liked the use of energy efficient lighting. There was no table (which I needed to use my laptop) but when I asked for one it was delivered very promptly. Full English breakfast is included in the price.
The tv only had 4 channels! I couldn't get Channel 5 for some reason. It would have been nice to have some shower gel in the bathroom.

March 20, 2011It was just about adequate for our needs but we were glad we were only staying for one night.
Helpful staff, quiet and very convenient location for where we needed to be on the next day so we could leave the car and walk to our venue
The hotel seems to be in an ongoing process of refurbishment with no jobs finished in our room E.g loose wall socket for the kettle which kept cutting out. No put-down space in the bathroom apart from a small window sill.

Served its purpose
Good location, reasonable price
The hotel seems to be a little run-down
