Review by hotel critic
I recently had the opportunity to stay at the student accommodation on the University of Essex's Colchester Campus, and I thought it provided an intriguing balance between cost and convenience. For those looking for an affordable base, this place delivers value with clean, airy rooms that are spacious enough for a short stay. There’s a good bus service into Colchester, making it easy to explore the charming town and its historical sights, like the castle and quirky local shops. The self-catering aspect is a little unconventional; you’ll need to bring your own plates, cups, and cooking utensils since the kitchen is equipped with a fridge, cooker, and microwave but not much else. The breakfast offered in the nearby cafeteria is a pleasant perk, and the Wi-Fi is reliable – a must for anyone working while traveling. The peaceful campus environment lends itself well to relaxation after a day of exploring. If you’re after a budget-friendly option with proximity to attractions and decent amenities, this accommodation is a smart choice.
