10/10 Excellent

What an amazing, reasonably priced and idealistic hotel! With breakfast included, it was worth returning again and we shall do. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
Fatima, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great little hotel if you’re working in the area. The staff are great. Don’t be staying in travelodge’s when this is here.
Tom, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This was a great option to split the journey home after a late arrival off the ferry. Staff are amazing. There were not many guests in the bar when I arrived so was very quiet. I would have liked there to be dedicated motorcycle parking.

Helen, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

There was nothing to like. the cleanliness of the common areas was well below par. the cleanliness of the bathroom left much to be desired and the carpets were not hoovered.The room was not serviced at all during our three night stay,.No dining available on Sunday evening, about which we were not aware. Breakfast choice was abysmal. This was an experience not to be repeated.

Nice hotel everything thats needed

Nice hotel, clean, warm welcoming. Location for Colchester excellent Breakfast lovely, tasty and plentiful, cooked or continental on offer. Rooms spacious, warm. Only low point was no daily housekeeping, so had to replenish tea, coffee, milk from breakfast area, not a real problem lots to pick from there.

8/10 Good

Convenient comfortable hotel at a good price. Staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant was not open Sunday night.
Steve, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

As vegetarians, there was no hot food available at breakfast for which we had paid and would have expected. Even the continental breakfast was sparse! I would even have expected some biscuits in the room for the daily charge. The rooms are not changed daily either

Excellent stay very good value
Claudina, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel was ok for the price paid. Plenty of car parking spaces. Room was passable for two nights. It was cleanish, carpet could’ve done with a thorough hoover and not just where people walk. Bed was hard. Room was very hot but at least there was a fan but couldn’t have it on to sleep. Shower curtain was mouldy and trying to get the shower to a temperature we could shower under was tricky. The USB sockets didn’t work in the room so had to go and buy a desktop plug in adapter so we could charge our devices. Breakfast wasn’t great. Reasonable selection but the milk for cereal was warm and so was fruit juices. On both mornings they had no white bread for toast I was told they had run out on the first morning but still none on the second morning even though there was a large supermarket five minutes down the road. We ended up going to a fast food restaurant for breakfast. So we had out of pocket expenses which could’ve been avoided. Overall it was ok for the money but I will stick with my usual chain hotel in future.

Nikki, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A surprising stay

Never used Dragonfly (Suraya) hotels before so was not sure what to expect. The reception was warm, welcoming and could not be more helpful My room was large (executive), warm, cosy with a great sized bed that was really comfortable The food was good, great choices, fresh and delicious, shame i could not put on room or open a tab. Spirit drinks were limited in choice. All in all a great stay and would look to use this chain again through the East of England
P, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Another great stay!!

The hotel is well placed for the traveler. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a good choice for breakfast, With a bar and restaurant you can enjoy a casual drink and food during your stay. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Free parking onsite is a great bonus as you seem to have to pay almost everywhere else. My only gripe is that we had an executive room with very poor WiFi connection. This does not detract from a very nice stay and we will look forward to returning next year.
