We have just stayed at the Novotel, Ipswich for three nights as my husband was sailing in the area. The staff are so friendly and helpful, special mention must be made of the restaurant/bar manager who went out of his way to attend to your every need. Breakfast was plentiful, only gripe, please oil the squeaky toaster in the breakfast... more

We stayed 1 night in August 2010 in a standard double room. The room was high standard. The TV was large and flat screen, the bed was firm, the bathroom excellent. The room was fairly quiet, except there was a minor problem with the window which didn't quite keep the traffic noise out. None of the staff I spoke to... more

We were in Ipswich to visit Dance East, the High voltage show, where dancers from the area preformed. We have stayed at Novotel afew times as our daughther has been at the university here. I try to book when offers are on, the pre payment seems to get the best rates. I was quite surprised on checking in that £150... more

Lets face it - who would want to go to Ipswich. My Wife just finished reading The Dig and so armed with Tesco clubcard vouchers we booked the Novotel Ipswich for 4 nights in May 2010. We expected a bland faceless business hotel. From the moment we arrived the staff were attentive, friendly and friendly. The room was excellent, with... more

Stayed here for three nights and really loved it. Big room, with bed, sofa and desk. Separate bathroom and toilet. Very central, short way to the football ground, town center or the seaside. Breakfast was great, full English, and a good selection of serials, fruits and pastry. We booked our room early, so we got a good price as well.... more

I stayed here in May 2009 with my 2 girls and my Mum, as we were going to see McFly at the Ipswich Regent Theatre. I got a really good price of £59 for a family room with breakfast for the 4 of us, as I booked it early and paid in advance. If you don't do this the rooms... more

I recently had my son's 30th birthday party here, from start to finish all the staff from the event organiser to the bar staff could not have been more helpful. As his family and friends came from all over the country everybody decided to stay. The rooms were clean well equipped and spacious. The hot buffet food for the party... more

I liked this hotel as they had just had a refurb and so I was greeted with an XBox 360 in the main reception, so had something to do after a few beers in the bar. The hotel is by the main road, so its really for business trips, as it isnt particularly pretty either! The room I had was... more
