This is my first time in Ipswich and I fully recommend this hotel. It is a funny thing but it is nearly always possible to tell what kind of a stay I will have from the first contact at reception. This is definately the case here. Friendly and warm. I had a single room, it was airy and although it... More

My stay at this hotel was hideous. This is the first negative review that I have ever written but I was so incensed by the attitude of the owner and the owner's son that I just had to write my thoughts to warn others. The B&B felt mucky, dust everywhere, bathroom was so shocking I couldn't bring myself to shower... More

Nice old building but it gives the impression that it is set up for those on benefits. Tatty old film star posters were like a step back in time. Most of all the experience was ruined by the attitude of the owners son, jumped up and full of himself, anyone would think he was in charge of a gleaming palace... More

I stayed at the Bentley fo 4 nights and I found the stay very comfortable. The building looks like the "Bates Motel" but dont let that put you off. Once you get inside the welcome could not have been more friendly. The walls are decorated with hollywood classics, and the rooms although dated, were very clean and comfortable. The landlady...

We used Ipswich as a base to look at attractions such as Sutton Hoo and the Maltings at Snape. The hotel is only 10 minutes' walk from the town centre. The owner and her son were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean and the area is quiet so we had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was excellent.... More

We stayed at the Bentley Tower for three nights, while we "dug up" information on distant realitives. It was in a great location, and was very easy to find. It was clean and quaint. The breakfast in the morning was a great start to the day, and the owners could not have been more helpful with all of our many... More

Had read other reviews on this small hotel. It proved to be welcoming, clean and well decorated. Beds comfortable, quiet despite overlooking major road. Breakfast set us up well. Much better choice and value than chain motels.

If you , like us, enjoy hotels with character then this is it! loved the windy staircases, beams in bedroom, sloping ceilings and framed posters of old films and their stars. All the important areas were SPOTLESS! Excellent full english breakfast , efficient service, lovely comfy beds with pure white covers and linen and , if you needed anything else,... More
