Top Mersea Island Hotel Reviews

Seven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice modern decor. Our room had the weirdest shower set up though. Had to exit shower to turn on/off water and adjust temperature. Water was everywhere on the bathroom floor as a result. Other than that it was a very good stay"

Holiday Inn Express Braintree by IHG

8/10 Good

"Lovely stay. We booked through hotels.com. Booking was easy. Staff at the hotel were lovely and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious. Room and hotel was clean and well maintained. My only comment would be the kettle in the room could do with descaling, this put me off abit that I wasn’t able to have my morning coffee."

Dragonfly Hotel Colchester

10/10 Excellent

"For our purposes a perfect hotel, situation and position. Great breakfast, hot or cold. bar is well stocked. Car park huge for hotel. Check in can be a little slow, only one person on to cover bar, reception and kitchen, som you can be hanging around a little. Just be patient. Rooms large enough, clean with good bathroom. Large TV"
