“Good value, clean, quiet and great central location.”
+Great location, very clean and quiet despite being in the city centre. I was visiting the Colchester summer festival at the castle and it was literally only a few minutes walk away from the accommodation which is also close to shops, cafes etc and the railway station. It felt very secure due to the coded entrance door outside and a further one to get into the building. The door to the bedroom also had a code instead of a key. The room was nicely furnished, a portable fridge was provided along with tea/coffee making facilities. I would recommend this accommodation and use again in the future.
−There is an outside staircase and another inside to climb to get to the room which was in the top floor. It was ok for 1 night as only had a small case - might be more challenging with heavier bags, Also having 3 codes to remember means it’s important to keep the email with the details handy on your phone so you can get back in ok! No other negatives though, it’s great value

+Never had staffless check in before, was a little anxious but the level of detail in the instructions was amazing
−I liked everything, interesting stuttered a little bit? I was not there for Internet? Why is there a negative question? Silly app

“Will recommend and be back”
+Loves the location, could not get more central to what we wanted, Castle Park for gig event and Castle museum. Bed was super comfy (and I am currently 33 weeks pregnant, so hard to be comfy!) and shower was lush. Only needed the room and en suite as did not plan on cooking. Codes to access property and rules were very clear (quiet time).
−WiFi cut out shortly after 10pm first night so couldn't keep watching streaming services. However was fine the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately my husband and I are coffee-hounds and didn't feel like enough coffee available in our mornings for our liking, and not enough left for all 5 rooms in the refilled tray from the hallway.

“Great location and comfy stay, not ideal for work related travel”
+The rooms are well thought out, very clean and comfy with nice details. The bathroom and shower were spacious and the shower was powerful. The host is very responsive to any queries or concerns and the location is extremely central to everything you might need.
−The soundproofing of the property isn’t great. Unfortunately I had very loud and inconsiderate fellow guests. This however isn’t the property’s fault - I was also there midweek so at weekends I can imagine it could be a challenge to sleep with street noice / fellow guests. The speed of the broadband is also pretty poor if you’re trying to do any work / stream entertainment. Wouldn’t reccoemdnd as much for business travellers but on a social occasion a lovely property.

+The room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with a really comfy bed and a modern, well-maintained bathroom. I also appreciated having tea and coffee facilities in the room, and the fan was a thoughtful addition during the heatwave. Check-in was straightforward thanks to the clear instructions, and Aiste was an excellent host, friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and I would happily recommend it.
−The only minor downside was that the price is on the high side for Colchester. However, I booked at the last minute, and the overall quality of the accommodation was great.

“It wasn’t really satisfying and we will be mote careful next time”
+The kitchen , the fact that theres Netflix and YouTube although not always .
−Poor very poor network, bad entrance thst comes with bird poo birds everywhere no light at night after the stairs , no standing fan , but small desk fan a lot weren’t good for me n my partner . First of all we were disappointed immediately we saw the entrance to the stairs With dustbins by the side that’s dirty and flies Stairs long that I couldn’t even carry my bags as a pregnant woman It’s terrible very terrible I wasn’t even comfortable The fact that we were always worried about going downstairs cos it’s very dirty Yes the room was cleaned but then in the hot weather there was no ac unit just a small desk fan on the ground instead of a standing fan that can move around Their WiFi is very poor I couldn’t even do much with my phone unless I stepped out So it’s wasn’t a good experience Even at the gardens network is bad
