The property is well spaced out over a large area. Therefore it means a 10 minute walk to reception, 10 mins to accommodation, 5 mins back to car park. There are hills and stairs. The accommodation is basic, but quite adequate. As it is only available during Summer, there are not many people at the University and the internet speed is excellent! The doors tend to slam, but overall it was a good experience

Essex University Campus- Colchester. Good VFM
This is Campus accommodation. The price reflects what you get, whilst saying that, it was value for money. A very friendly team upon arrival who were most helpful. The room is campus accommodation, so dont go expecting Egyptian Cotton bedding, welcome trays, televisions etc. The important thing was that it was extremely clean, the bed comfortable, safe and secure. The campus has a number of facilities for dining and bars together with a number of various shops. Car parking within easy walking distance. Good power supply for my computer and free Wi Fi. All in all it offers good value for money against what else was available in the area. If i was in the area again I would book it again.
