About The George of Colchester

Colchester's High Street is the natural base for exploring England's oldest recorded town, and The George of Colchester sits right in the thick of it at number 116, within easy reach of Colchester Castle and the Roman Theatre. The location suits anyone wanting to walk to the main sights without depending on public transport.

The hotel has 47 rooms and the practical extras that make a stay straightforward: breakfast, a restaurant and bar on site, free WiFi, and 24 hour reception for late arrivals or early starts. There's also a garden for those wanting a quieter spot outdoors, and meeting rooms for anyone combining business with the visit.

Free on-site parking is a genuine plus in a town centre location like this, saving the usual hassle of finding a space near the High Street. With the castle and Roman Theatre close by, and the rest of Colchester's historic core within walking distance, The George works well as a straightforward, well-placed stop for a night or several.
