Holiday Inn Express Colchester by IHG 5.8 km from Wivenhoe

Good
From $87
From $87
Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryHoliday Inn Express Colchester offers mixed experiences for families with children. While the hotel provides clean and well-maintained travel cots, the sofa beds for children have received some criticism for being uncomfortable and unstable with guests noting they could feel the springs. The lack of a bath in the rooms made it less convenient for families with younger kids who might prefer baths over showers. Despite these points, the size of the rooms was generally sufficient, except for some family rooms which were considered a bit small.

The location serves well as a stopover for travelers heading to the Harwich Ferry. Though not within walking distance to local attractions, the hotel itself met general expectations and contributed to an enjoyable stay for all. Notably, the whole family could enjoy their stay, thanks to small touches of hospitality and accommodation like providing adjacent rooms for extended family members.

Family Friendly HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryHoliday Inn Colchester by IHG is the perfect choice for families visiting the area. The hotel is very child-friendly and staff were really lovely and kind to the kids, giving them treats. One guest even mentioned it was the first time their children had stayed in a hotel and they were all treated with so much kindness. The family rooms are perfect for families with spacious rooms and comfortable cots available for babies. However, some rooms are on the first floor without a lift which may be difficult for families with small children or babies in prams. The hotel offers a breakfast buffet that was really good, although a few guests noted that the breakfast area was dirty and lacked staff to clean the tables and do top-ups. The hotel also has a small lane for kids that is great when swimmers got bigger lanes. Some guests noted that the lack of staff made it difficult for them to enjoy their meals and forced them to sit at the far end of the austere reception area. But overall, the hotel is welcoming and great for families visiting the area with plenty of parking spaces available.

Many reviews highlight its family-friendly atmosphere and the availability of adequately sized family rooms, some with convenient connecting options. The hotel's indoor pool is a standout feature, frequently praised by parents and grandparents alike; children seem to particularly enjoy repeated visits over their stay.
