St Nicholas Hotel is part of The George Hotel, located opposite on the High Street, where guests can enjoy British cuisine, afternoon tea, and regional dishes. The hotel is situated steps away from Colchester's Roman Castle, shops, and cafes. Free Wi-Fi, express check-in/check-out, and flexible function rooms for events up to 70 people are available. The University of Essex is an 11-minute drive away, and London Stansted Airport is 55 km from the property.
