I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights from the 21st May, as part of a coach party of 33 people. My room was clean , comfortable, airy and quiet even though there was a roundabout outside my window. The breakfast was all anyone could ask for, choice of cereals, cheese and meat, full english, waffles and toast with a... More

We used this Novotel as a base to visit the nearby Gardens of Beth Chatto and of East bergholt Place, and to explore the historic centre of Colchester. From the initial welcome by Reception through to the excellent service at the Bar and in the Restaurant, we were unable to fault this hotel. There was close attention to detail in... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night as we were attending a wedding. Car park has limit spaces and they are a bit tight but we managed to park. Hotel public areas are very clean and we were greeted by a very happy and welcoming receptionist. Our room was spacious and had a seperate bathroom and toilet which... More

Stayed 3 nights this week with my wife.Staff very friendly and welcoming.Beds marvellously comfortable-memory foam! Breakfast not wonderful for the money but OK. Guests should not have to pay £7 per night to park on hotel car park-especially when not mentioned at time of booking.

£7 to park in the hotel car park, no free wifi and uninspiring rooms with a view of a car park and a flat roof. One of the poorest of the many Novotels I have stayed at but fortunately I am only staying one night!

Very comfortable hotel and close to the town centre, the bus station or Ipswich fc (5 minute walk to all). I really do not understand why quality hotel chains add charges for parking and wifi. The latter really puts me off so wont return here the next time I stay in Ipswich. The breakfast was worth the extra £7.50 but... More

The Novotel is for the price range a very basic experience, the rooms are nothing special and have no wifi unless you subscribe separately for a price. The food was quite good and varied, essentially this hotel can be visibly seen as a re-furb over a 70s structure but that said for a short stay not bad.
