Dragonfly Hotels have a simple philosophy: economy with excellence. It means we do the basics brilliantly, with a splash of panache for good measure. In five key east of England locations, we deliver comfort, convenience and efficient, switched-on service, sensibly priced so you can do more with your trip, whether you’re staying with us for business, leisure, or a little bit of both.

Newly refurbished, our Colchester hotel is a restful retreat set just outside of town, where the A47 meets the A10. Colchester’s historic centre is minutes away, and escaping to the unspoilt Essex coast couldn’t be easier from here. Relax in our remodelled restaurant and bar, Barley + Graze, or recline in the spacious confines of your room, enjoying the award-winning Hypnos beds, Freeview channels and complimentary WiFi. With free on-site parking too, you’ll find staying with Dragonfly as effortless as it is enjoyable.
