Lovely hotel, room fantastic, service excellent. First night great, 2nd night very noisy as a wedding being held downstairs & in garden, unable to park in carpark all day 2nd day/night due to this Was notified by email of possible disturbance too late to change booking. Would stay again but would phone before booking to check for any functions being held.

Mini Staycation
We, as three brothers, have frequent visits to Colchester for our staycation whilst visiting our brother who lives there. We have stayed in the Dragonfly Hotel for several times this year. On the whole we are very happy with our stay and we have already booked to return on 28/29/30 October.

Fine for the price
The hotel is fine, you get what you pay for ultimately. It is a good base to explore Colchester and the local area at an affordable price. Hotels.com states it has a restaurant and serves evening meals. It doesn’t and hasn’t since Dec 22. However you are welcome to eat a takeaway in the bar and they can provide plates and cutlery. Breakfast service is slow and the continental doesn’t look hugely inviting/appetising and choice is rather limited but the full English and eggs Benedict were lovely. Don’t have the coffee though, yuk! The hotel its self is fine, it could do with a proper deep clean but the general level of cleanliness was good, there just is a run down and aged (not in the historical sense) that could just be so much better if it was given a deep clean and a little more attention and care given. We stayed in a superior family room, it was a good size and clean. The beds weren’t hugely comfortable, lots of plug sockets and storage etc. the shower was lovely and bathroom towels and sheets lovely and clean.
