The Railway Sleeper Lodge

Great place for short stay if you just need a clean and comfortable, functional en-suite room. Very clean and quiet. No frills but then that’s reflected in the cost-effective price. Close to main rail station. Has off street parking Recommended.

This place was absolutely lovely and clear presented really well good for one night shower was amazing nice and clean with facilities bottled water tea and coffee and the microwave was fantastic. The TV was great. Everything added place. The only disappointment was the bed was very difficult to sleep it was very solid. I woke up with a bad back, but everything else was fantastic. Highly recommend if you haven’t got a bad back.

We stayed at Mile End Road in 2 rooms whilst attending an open day at university of Essex. It’s a 10 min drive away. The rooms have everything you need, fridge, microwave, hairdryer, tea and coffee facilities, free Wi-Fi. The double bed could have been comfier but that’s prob just my requirements. We had a private bathroom shared between our 2 rooms and was spotlessly clean. There’s a pub a 3 min walk away serving food. Would definitely stay here again if in Colchester

Nice rooms on a quiet street. The rooms were clean and well kept. Tea, coffee, mugs, bowels, cutlery provided. Microwave and small fridge with complimentary juice and water in both bedrooms. Plenty of storage. Nice big bathroom with shower. The location was great, only a few minutes drive from the town centre. There’s a car park for guests’ use but if it happens to be full there’s also loads of on-street parking. The details for accessing the building and our rooms were communicated clearly to us before our arrival. Would like to thank the owners again-our daughter was sick during the night and we wanted to freshen the room up before we left but were told not to worry and that they’d sort it, black bin bags were left promptly at our door on request for our pukey belongings! So great customer service.

This is room only and let yourself in and out but it is very comfortable and clean and very well fitted-out. Our room was small but for the price we paid it was extrememly good value. Best thing - it was quiet unlike Premier Inn where someone always makes a noise sometime in the night

The room that was available to me was comprised of two adjoining rooms with three narrow single beds. The beds were screwed to the floor, I assume this was to prevent them being pushed together. The mattresses were of medium firmness and comfortable The room had a microwave, a small fridge and a TV with freeview. Tea and coffee making facilities and bottles of water were included. There was a hot powerful shower, the cubical had orange mold covering the grouting, which while not dangerous should be addressed. There are no staff on site but clear instructions were given for checking in. There were several parking spaces to the rear of the property.
