Really nice hotel with really good restaurant. All staff members were really amazing, and made my stay really enjoyable.
The only thing they need to sort out the loud noise that comes from the air conditioning in the middle of the night that can’t be stopped from the room. It kept me awake for the most part of my night.
The carpet in the room and overall was full of marks .The window in the room was not opening and the conditional air was not working so the room was boiling.The breakfast was really poor and the scramble eggs were underusing my friend was vomiting after because of them.
And the worse part is that you cannot check in before 3pm and check out has to be before 12 pm so we pay a huge amount of money for a room that doesn’t deserve not even half of it,for less than 24 hours.
Lovely hotel in nice grounds. Friendly reception. Decent room (we stayed in the Sartorial rooms) which was spacious. Good breakfast in the main restaurant although continental was a bit limited. Ate in the evenings at the cafe rather than main restaurant and food was good. Also lovely staff.

Very good hotel and a good option if you're flying from or to Stansted. The rooms are furnished to a very good standard and are extremely clean.
The staff are attentive and friendly, and are happy to answer any questions you have.
The breakfast is available from 4am which is a bonus and the selection is very extensive.
Just make sure to factor in the cost of the shuttle bus (£4 each way) to your travel plans, as, when the costs have been added, there may be cheaper alternatives that don't require taking the paid-for shuttle.
Fabulous location, if you need the airport. But, you have to bus/cab/drive into Southend/Rayleigh/wherever if not wanting the airport.
15min walk to various eateries, if you don't want to eat in the hotel, like Toby Carvery, Hungry Horse, African, fish and chips.
Majority of staff seen were happy and chatty, nice to see.
5* breakfast, would definitely recommend as had lots of choice.
Room was clean, included bed, desk, chair, armchair, safe, kettle, iron, toiletries, bath&shower.
The room is quite big, very clean, all the supplies do not need to bring, the public area of the hotel is very British, there is a large grass at the entrance of the hotel is very beautiful, it is really good to take a walk in the morning, and the campus view of the University of Essex is also very beautiful on the side.
Our room was spotless , a comfy bed and a good shower , the pool+ hot room area were really good, but for reference there are 3 (members only) aqua aerobics classes a week which use the whole pool , and whose participants’warm up’ prior to the class -so it’s very busy to the class , there are a great selection of (pre bootable )classes , treatments and a well equipped gym (all obviously open to members ) , the meal options are delicious, and the staff are charming

I stayed here the night before an early flight. It was very close walking distance to the terminal and breakfast is served from 4am! So it was perfect. Lovely room, lovely staff and lovely food!
I would have given a high score but the sheer noise, disruption and pure havoc caused by disgusting residents having fighting matches in the rooms and corridor close to our room made the stay horrible. The staff were great I trying to deal with terrible guests but the noise still continued and doors regularly slammed hard. Didn’t sleep well at all

PPlayful+JoyfulThe hotel service is good. Just the restaurant and bar at the hotel is opened from 5-9pm. If you drive , the hotel offers parking. It’s not a problem for you that no restaurants around the hotel.
Anyway, the hotel meets everything you need.
I love the most is the senses of fire safety. Many fire extinguishers in the corridors of the hotel.
GGuest UserTo be honest, apart from the fact it was so close to the terminal for a 4am start, it was disappointing. Long queue to check in although staff were polite and welcoming, I had to climb over a pizza box, dirty cup and wine glass dumped outside my door and when I entered the room I wasn't wholly convinced it had been cleaned properly. Also, pet peeve, no biscuits! However, on the plus side it was quiet and check out was quick.

GGuest UserReally good service all the time from checkin to checkout. Restaurant has a good variety for evening meals. There is shuttle bus which is £4 one way to and from the airport. Buffet breakfast has great options too. Perfect if flying in and out of Stansted.
SSamuelThe hotel staff were very nice and kind. Upon arrival we had a lot of bags and the staff made sure we got a room on ground floor and there was a trolley to move our items at once.
We were indoors all the time so cleaning staff left our room to give us privacy. Next morning we requested to have our room cleaned and in 5 mins there was someone there to clean. So efficient!!
Ggudetama_travelsThe swimming pool appeared quite big, although we didn't get a chance to use it. Our room was fairly roomy for two people, but with our group of four, it felt a bit crowded. It's worth noting that if you have heavy luggage, you might want to avoid booking a room on the top floor (second floor), as there are no lifts available in this hotel. The bathroom provided only shampoo and body wash, so you might need to bring or purchase your own conditioner.
The breakfast exceeded my expectations. Despite anticipating a traditional British offering, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety available, including English hot meals, a salad bar, a selection of cereals (there was Alpen!), milk alternatives (I particularly enjoyed the Oatly), and two coffee machines.
Their breakfast was so impressive that I will definitely consider staying at this hotel again when I visit Colchester next time.
GGuest UserThe room was good- clean, well equipped, + biscuits provided as well as tea and coffee! Can't fault it.
Can't comment on the breakfast (included in room price) as its not available at weekends until after 8.30 and I had to be elsewhere by then. From 7.00 in the week.
The thing that let the place down was the parking - or more the point , the lack of it. There must be 40 rooms but only space for 4 cars! All the other car parks around and there are plenty, had max 4 hour stay limit signs on display. Rather than risk a parking charge / fine I found some on-road parking 5 mins walk away and hoped the car would be still there in the morning (it was). If you want a chance for the 4 places you'll need to get there early afternoon - its bedlam there in the evening with the other pub and food outlet customers vying for space, well it was on Friday and Saturday evenings.
GGuest UserWe were initially given a room without sofa bed, when I read the description I was booking a room with a sofa bed. However the lady in the front- i cannot exactly remember her name but I think it was Tracy, she was very accommodating and moved us to a room with a sofa bed. The sink was blocked and the phone in the room wasn’t working. The whole hotel was dated and needs an upgrade. Breakfast was poor, compared to other holiday inn expresses we have stayed at this one was limited with their items and eggs etc didn’t seem fresh. We were in a small town but even then when you’re staying at a holiday inn you expect certain things to be in order and certain standards unfortunately we felt like this holiday inn wasn’t up to standard.
