Premier Inn Colchester A12

Lee and his assistant were excellent couldn't be more helpful in organising another 2 extra days at a more reasonable price , I recommend this Premier Inn to any one staying in Colchester .The rooms are excellent and the beds are superb great nights sleep

Colchester A12 premier inn is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful with getting us booked in and into our room. The staff all had smiles on their faces and were very welcoming and friendly. Lucy the manager was there and was very helpful with information about things to do in Colchester. Lucy was really polite and seems like she is running the site really well. I would definitely recommend staying at this premier inn. I will be going back soon, thanks Lucy and all staff for making the stay so easy and stress free.

Had a really lovely weekend stay and plenty of Christmas shopping with the town centre being near by, accommodation was very clean and tidy, and all the staff were very helpful and friendly, had plenty of choice in the onsite pub/restaurant menu and very reasonable priced, i would thoroughly recommend.

Have stayed in this Premier Inn before, and was not disappointed then.  Rooms are spotless especially the bathroom.  Bedding is very white and clean and the bath towels are very thick, fluffy and white.  Staff super friendly, could not fault them.   Perfect service from the staff at Premier Inn A12.

Stayed here 1st-3rd November for the weekend whilst visiting friends. The welcome on reception was quick, polite & friendly. A fairly large hotel and there's a lot of building works going on at the minute but this didn't disturb us at all. We received an email before our stay saying some noise may be heard between 8am & 6pm but we heard nothing on this particular weekend. It looks like they're re-doing the rooms on the ground floor. 

Our room was clean, smelt fresh, kept a good temperature, there was plenty of hot water, clean white fluffy bath towels, lots of hanging space for our family of 3 good lighting, & we slept very well.  

Help yourself to extra tea, coffee, sugar & milk in reception whenever you need it & the staff were helpful when I requested some extra hand towels.

We didn't try the attached restaurant/pub, so can't comment on that. 

We managed to get parked both nights round the back of the hotel even after arriving after 10pm both nights. There was parking in the pub car park also.

Great location for us & we would stay here again. 

Thanks, ❤️ The Andersons

We have stayed here on numerous occasions and every time without fail the staff have engaged with my 2 year old. He always looks forward to staying in the "Moon Hotel".

Special shout out to Sandie as she always finds something to entertain the children, whether it's a beach pack for a day at the beach or a zoo pack for a day at the zoo. She even found some colouring in pictures of owls for my son as that happened to be the animal of the month for him.

Have always had a great night sleep whenever we have stayed here.

A Premier Inn is a Premier Inn is a Premier Inn - but this one felt a little better than some I’ve stayed in. Efficient, friendly staff - but without the over-familiarity one often gets these days.
The food and service in the adjacent TableTable pub was also very good and the meal deal was good value.

Great stay as always , all staff are so friendly,  nothing is never to much trouble for any of them, we are aleays made to feel so welcome , 
Had a great night's sleep which is always great when you have a busy day , thank you all 😊

A big thank to Sandie and Sue on the night shift. Though there was not any accommodation avaliable. They did there best to look me after I had driven from Basildon on my way home  to Woodbridge in Suffolk. But due to thick fog and the A12 being closed. It was safer for me to take a break. These two ladies are a credit to your company. They made me a hot drink and offered me a pillow and a quilt so I could sleep for a couple of hours in my car.which was very much appreciated. I was looked after by Sandie and Sue at the premier inn,close to the A12. These two ladies deserve some recognition  for what they did for me.
Thank you so much ladies.

An amazing hotel, lead by example the second I walked through the door. The room bathroom and corridor was clean, had a lovely atmosphere thanks to this. The service and greeting from sandie and sue was so welcoming and had a lovely attitude no matter what the time. Lead by example on how service should be from a hotel, something very rare from night-time staff. Would highly highly recommend for everyone.

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at

Warm and welcoming stay

Can't beat a Premier Inn Bed 👌💜

Friendly staff, comfortable room with a bath (always an advantage). We stayed two nights, one before going to the Netherlands, one on the way back. On the first visit we had an evening meal. The steak was a bit tough but it is best not to order steak under at least £20. I had the mixed grill which only had four meats including sausages (so three really), which isn't a mixed grill in the sense I know it, but it is cost again. My piece of steak was good, but the best meat was the gammon.

On our return we had the breakfast. The continental element t was generally good. The cooked element was not of a standard I like to see, eg it says premium sausage. I would never buy a sausage that low in quality. The bacon was certainly better than in the Netherlands, but then no one can do bacon like the British (I include the Irish in that - British Isles), but it wasn't good enough.

I did see a sight though. A chap at a nearby table received his cooked breakfast, used his fingers to pile it all on to a slice of bread, stuck another slice on top and proceeded to eat it as a sandwich. Pretty disgusting, especially the fingers, but we were in Essex.

Good when travelling

Friendly staff and a great night sleep.

One of the better Premier Inns

My hubby and I wanted to have a Christmas meal on our own ahead of Christmas Day.  We chose Colchester because it's local, has a restaurant attached and we could use the Park & Ride to spend the day in town.  The hotel was as expected, clean and comfortable with friendly staff.  The Reception had been decorated really nicely with a balloon arch with photo opportunity, 2 Christmas trees and even a fireplace with stockings etc.  They had obviously gone to a lot of effort.  Our stay was very reasonable.  We had a nice time and would definitely stay again in the future.

Great experience

We are a family of 2 adults + 2 children and have just come back from a 2 night stay in a family room and we had a superb stay. There was plenty of free parking, the reception and all the staff we saw over the 2 nights were all very welcoming and friendly. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the welcome note, chocolate treats and colouring in books on the bed were a hit with the kids (especially my 4 year old). We all slept very well as the beds were really comfy and the shower was lovely and powerful and the towels were big, soft and fluffy!. We ate breakfast in the restaurant across from the premier inn which we paid for in advance with the hotel £10 per adult for unlimited breakfast and kids eat free, honestly couldn't fault the breakfast and was better than I expected. Full English cooked to order and you can even ask for how many of each items you would like including how you would like your eggs cooked. Kids enjoyed the continental buffet the most especially the pan au chocolat! Thank you premier inn for a really enjoyable stay, we would definitely return.
