We were met at reception and the proprietor took us to our room and showed us around. He was very helpful.
A hairdryer was not included.

There was no staff member present to give me the key on arrival. My messages sent through Booking.com went unanswered, and the phone number displayed at the entrance door was not picked up either.
I also asked where I could park as a guest, but received no reply. Because of this lack of communication, I had to pay for a private car park elsewhere. Eventually, the staff answered my call and showed me where to park. I was shown how to enter and exit the car park with the car, but not how to access it on foot after leaving the fob at checkout, which caused further inconvenience.
During the night, people were in the shared kitchen with the door open, talking and laughing loudly until 2 am, which made it difficult to rest.
There was also constant noise inside the room from the fridge.

The location of this property is spot on, just five minutes from the high street and all amenities. The host was there to help with a quick check in on arrival late night. Unfortunately the lift was out of order, but they offered to help with carrying bags to the top floor. Room was clean, well catered for and had a mini kitchenette, with full access to a main kitchen next door.

Excellent location, close to the park and the city centre.
Comfortable room with small fridge, sink and utensils.
Nice designer - bathroom and huge TV
One small thing - though the bathroom was very clean, there was some limescale build-up on the taps and the rack near the shower. Not that it bothered me much. But it just doesn't look nice in this lovely designer bathroom

I honestly felt like I was at home. I was comfortable, warm, and the room was exceptionally clean. I felt our host was completely lovely and didn’t hesitate to ask if we needed anything - truly a lovely man.
There wasn’t anything I disliked. I honestly, truly loved everything.

The property is very near to the city centre. It is extremely clean as well as the shared kitchen area.
The personal fridge make a humming noise but nothing too detrimental to getting a good night's sleep

Friday night, the 19th, at 23:30 the electricity broke down completely! Till next day no lights, anywhere,. no kettle working, no heating!
I had to leave the flat early next morning in the dark, the shower completely dark!
When I ccame back the following day late afternoon electricity was working again.
But I did not get any notice by Ryegate House about this incident.

Close to city centre, near a beautiful park. Very warm welcome. Comfy bed and crisp clean sheets. Extra large towel. Mini kitchen in the room.
Unfortunately, the floors were dirty. I was staying just for one night so I didn’t pursue this matter. Everything else was perfect and very clean.

It was very clean, the room was modern had all the utilities needed and acted as a private studio which I loved. The tv was so nice to watch and had subscriptions. The bathroom omg it was so nice definitely the highlight. I’ve had such a lovely time here and the staff was nice and welcoming too. Good kitchen !
Nothing. It was perfect

Perfect place to stay while working away from home in Colchester. The owners are very kind and helpful, carrying my bag to the room when I arrived and showing me around. You have all the amenities you need. Room was spotlessly clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable I slept in while working away with good bedding.
There is a separate kitchen area where there is a full kitchen if you like to cook. I had everything I needed in my room including, fridge and kettle.
The property was very quiet at night so I had no issues with sleeping.
I must highly recommend this property as a single female traveller.

Host was very helpful with parking but the space was very tight and not easy to access. When I booked it implied that parking was easily available.

Incredibly friendly greeting upon arrival, offer of help with our bags.
The room was spacious and spotless, very comfortable bed, decent shower amd loads of facilities incl a shared kitchen nearby.
It is a stones throw away from Colchester Castle and check in was available early.

Feels recently renovated, large windows, bright, spacious, comfortable beddings, terrific bathroom. Close to many shops and restaurants. Parking in front of building.
A bit of road noise. Lift was temporarily out of order.

Lovely location next to the castle park and river, in an interesting part of Colchester, but close to the high street. Comfortable, well-furnished room. Feels fairly functional, but nice linen and towels, toiletries, and plenty of space for a single traveller. Use of the kitchen was very helpful. Good value self-catering. Very helpful provision of free parking space.
The kitchen was quite well-equipped but no washing-up liquid, sponge-scourer or dishcloth. I suspect that sharp knives are not provided because they get stolen, so bring your own!

Quiet and close to the Town. Also walking distance to castle park where we were attending a concert.
There is nothing I did not like. To bear in mind it’s not a hotel. The rooms are comfy and modern.

Host was wonderful. I had free parking. The location was quiet, everything was clean and very comfortable.
There was a boiler cupboard in my room and the fan started making a very loud noise! After a bit of back-and-forth with the manager, we got it sorted. (I just needed to switch something off.) Now that they are aware that this could happen, I’m sure they won’t let it happen to another guest, but it did take the relaxation out of my evening, unfortunately! As I said, though, the manager was excellent, and responsive to my messages late into the evening.
Other than that, I would have liked a bolt on the inside of the door to make me feel a bit more secure.

Great location and comfort of room, good size for disabled people .
Lift not working sadly which caused us problem with disabled person in group who found stairs difficult and tiring
