Our room was noisy but the night staff were excellent at finding a replacement immediately, despite the late hour and a busy hotel.

Lovely room, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nice place to stay on Christmas Eve.

Even though they call themselves a hotel it is not. They serve breakfast in the morning then it basically closes until 5pm when the bar opens. You cannot even get a coffee or tea within these times. It has a very corporate feel, which is a shame because the original part of the building has so much charm

The Rose & Crown is a historic hotel that has charm and historical value. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be being patronised as much as it should. The rooms are warm, clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly which are the most important points for me. The hotel is tired and could benefit from some modernisation. Facilities are also thin on the ground with the absence of a restaurant in the evening. On my last visit, i found that the bar had no draught ales and not even bar snacks. Sadly, i will probably try somewhere else that serves evening food for my next visit to Colchester.

Room and bed fine, in the more modern wing. Breakfast very good, a shame hotel does not have lunch/evening restaurant. Reception desk is quite high and receptionist hidden, which gave a rather awkward welcome.

5.0 / 10.0

I loved the rustic look and feel of the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was modern with a rain shower. It is just a short wark to the town centre, which is a bonus. If I am back to Colchester I would definitely stay there again.

Love this hotel and stay here whenever visiting Colchester for weekends away. Very quaint with lots of charm and character. We always stay in older part of hotel and find the rooms much nicer there. Would highly recommend staying here

What a unique hotel! So much history. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

The room was very clean. The reception staff were brilliant also bar staff. Breakfast was a bit disappointing . Toast machine wasn’t working properly, going round 5 times and still not right. The waiter went to the kitchen with a slice of bread and returned with it toasted. When the full English arrived the sausage was nearly white. He took them away. We finished our breakfast. It was after breakfast after about 10 minutes he returned with them cooked but too late. On the whole really think the breakfast was not worth £15.95 each.

Lovely hotel, very friendly and helpful reception staff.Good location, free parking, attractive building. However, in my opinion the bed and pillows were very hard and uncomfortable. I did not sleep at all well.

2.0 / 10.0

Upon arrival all seemed ok. Was given the key and told was in the annex . Was a little disappointed but thought benefit of the doubt. Alas ( If you are giving someone an Annexe would be nice to be informed upon booking) . It was very tired looking and had an awful musty smell. We opened the windows for a while but had to close as was going to a concert that night. After a good evening we returned. Unfortunately the smell had not dissipated at all. Opened the window again which stayed open all night. But didn’t make a difference. The bed was awful it was lumpy and every time you moved made a very loud creaking noise. We didn’t have a good nights sleep at all. Because of this it spoilt the second part of our evening. Couldn’t under why the bar was shut at 10.30 as we were told it would still be open, All in all not a good experience and will not visit this hotel again or recommend to anyone.

We used this hotel as we were seeing Tom Jones at Colchester castle. So location was fab, beautiful old building and the manager had a wealth of knowledge about the property. Downside. Both our room and our friends room smelt of damp when we arrived and therefore we had to keep the windows open. Our room had a lot of damp and the drain on the shower was very mouldy. And sadly the bar closes at 10.30pm which is a shame as the concert finishes at 10.15 so by the time we walked back we couldn’t have a night cap.. so ended up going to a bar further up the road, shame as it would have been nice to sit in the bar..

It was a nice and convenient place to stay for the night. Some of the other guests were decidedly noisy in the early hours but that is sometimes the case.

No nonslip mat in the bath for a shower. Slipped in the shower and hurt myself. Not great

This historic property is interesting - but don’t have a lot of luggage like we did! However, if you love character and unique accommodations, this is for you.

3.0 / 10.0

I have been in better places for less. The breakfast was ok, over priced for what it was. The room itself was ok but definitely needs a makeover, very outdated. Cracks in walls, paint peeling off. Bathroom was not fully cleaned. Biggest issue was just how hot the room was. Incredibly stuffy, fan was provided but needs ac or something better. Even with windows left open all night. Bathroom floor felt.like it was heated? But no way to turn off. Again very very warm. Also ceiling light over the dresser/mirror was out making it hard to get ready for wedding.

10.0 / 10.0

Located behind "Kind of Spice" so type that in when looking for this place. No lift in the annex building, which is where our room was (2nd flr). Otherwise, kind staff and clean rooms. Complimentary bottles of water at the FD, just ask. Breakfast selection was fantastic; you can pay the night before and save 4bucks compared to the day of. No dinner service, but the bar is open in the evening from 5:30- 10:15pm. "King of Spice" (curry) is right around the corner, so we had dinner there instead. NO a/c. -JB from Cali

Our welcome was fantastic, the grntleman at reception was very warm, welcoming and helpful with knowledge of the local area. We stayed in room 132 & although it was hot weather wise the room especially the bathroom was hotter than the sun, which made our stay very uncomfortable & not enjoyable to be in the room.

The hotel is located on a busy high street and is of the Tudor styling. It was a decent sized car park and my room was in the adjoining annex building. Check in was quick and the room was only a few seconds away from where my car was parked. The room itself was quite compact but functional and they had a good, working fan which was necessary for the 90 degree weather we had for that day. There were lots of dining options within a 15 minute walk allowing me to keep the car in its prime spot. The shower was nice and powerful and the bed very comfy which led to a good night's sleep. Breakfast was prompt and cooked well although it lacked taste. All in all it was a pleasant stay but there wasn't the value for money I look for.

8.0 / 10.0

We loved the ancient building, the good breakfast, the room was large and clean (in the annex). We didn't like the entrances to the car park (ok, it's an old coach-house so parking had to be created at some point, but one was blocked a fair bit by a party minibus), the noise from the wedding parties, the lack of bar/restaurant food

A quick stay to pick up some bridesmaids dresses. The hotel and location looked perfect on pictures but in reality not the best. We stayed in room 127 there was some dirty underwear under our bed, upon complaining to reception we were laughed at and nothing done!! Absolutely bonkers service!
