B&B hotel

Hotel 5 minute walk from Ipswich rail station, Very quick and simple check in. Room was very spacious and clean, newly renovated.with air con and free toiletries. Bed was super comfortable, tv and tea making facilities, clothes hanging rail, shelving for clothes. Full length mirror close to electric sockets. The only downside to this hotel room was the lack of a small fridge and maybe more signs outside showing where the entrance to reception is. I’d definitely stay again.

Incredible value and a brilliant stay.

I had forgotten to book the hotel I planned to stay in, and so had to quickly find a replacement on the day as where I was planning to stay wasn't available. What a result, this was half the price, incredible value, a decent breakfast for the price, and it was honestly faultless. The room was amazingly comfortable and spotlessly clean and I will definitely stay again. For a one night stay on business it was very good indeed.

Easy walk to and from the train station. Very convenient if you are going to an event at Portman Road, that is also within walking distance. My room faced the parking lot which wasn’t ideal as I had requested a room facing the river. However it was quiet and at night the hotel sections off the corridors with doors which makes it nice and quiet for sleeping. The breakfast was a nice selection of hot and cold breakfast items. The hotel felt very safe and the room was clean and comfortable.
Comfortable bed.

the hotel was excellent except for parking Charged £10 per night upfront and then could not find a space on second night at 7.00pm reception told me to go another car park where you had to leave at 8.00am NOT acceptable. eventually found a a meter about 8 minute walk from hotel. after a dispute they refunded the £10 Left bad taste
