Great place to be in. Not only a great environment, but they have a fantastic selection of books. They also have a lot of cool trinkets to get, like Legos, board games, mini activity boxes, and more! Definitely a great place to go

Waterstones Colchester: A Booklover?s Safe Haven
A great bookstore with a soul. Waterstones in Colchester is the kind of place where you ?pop in for a quick browse? and emerge two hours later with a stack of books, a new notebook you didn?t need, and a renewed love of literature. The staff are friendly, helpful, and seem to possess that magical sixth sense for recommending exactly what you didn?t know you wanted. The layout is inviting, the children's section is a dream. Highly recommended for anyone who likes paper, stories, or just pretending to be in a romcom set in a bookshop.

Nice and friendly staff who helped me with everything I need. Not very good signage to the accessible enterence as it is round the back of the building. The inside is cramped and may be hard to manouvrr for some people but overall it is accessible

Felt the worker did not understand that I am autistic and therefore change my mind on books a lot. Was incredibly upsetting and triggering for me

On a busy afternoon there was not too much space to browse comfortably. However staff were helpful and happy to answer questions and take orders.
