I must comment on the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff at the Holiday Inn Colchester. They went out of their way to be helpful and were very cheerful even though the hotel was quite busy and they had a lot to do.
The swimming pool was rather small and in need of refurbishment.
Overall: I enjoyed it very much. (108885040)

The room was nice and warm on a particularly cold day.
For such a large hotel it was very quiet.
None really although we would have liked more milk on the tray.
Overall: Perfectly acceptable. (107611201)

clean comfortable modern room
despite me booking in my name, the reservation came through in the name of my guest!!!! hotel restaurant and internet usage very overpriced. our dinner whilst not extravagant was nearly the same price as the room. £7.50 for 45 mins on reception internet!!!! £15.00 an hour to use internet conenction in our room!
Overall: Wouldn't stay in a holiday inn hotel again for a weekend break (107942886)
Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
