Great location for this hotel but unfortunately marred by below average rooms and some rude staff. The guy who checked our party of four (two rooms) in actually put wrong names down to the two rooms. Not that I thought this would be an issue - until I returned later forgetting my room number. This was a huge issue for... more

We were very disappointed with our stay at this hotel. Yes, it is centrally located but the parking was a nightmare, they wanted us to leave our car keys with reception in case our car needed moving round the tiny awkward car park, which we declined! It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon but we had to wait ages for... more

We stayed here only last week for the National Hotrod weekend which was taking place in Ipswich! We stayed here because basically, it was all that was left! having emailed the hotel regularly on the week leading up to... more

Booked a superior room online, but on check in was given a standard (room 6). This room has a significantly sloping floor and would have made for an uncomfortable sleep as the bed had the same slope as the floor and I would have ended up on the floor in the middle of the night!! Was offered another room that... more

Room clean , bed comfortable. breakfast good, staff polite and friendly. hot water supply spartan, tho electric shower made up for this. in noisy surroundings but not too bad. Cheap n Cheerful certainly but not as bad as some. Would stay again, and the restaurant noodles looked and smelled good, worth it just for the food. Not the best hotel... more

Do not go here! The room number 2 was at the front of the hotel and from midnight until 4am we were unable to sleep due to the yobs turning out from the clubs. Then at 6am the stall holders started to set up the market!!! The room was very cramped and tatty. The bathroom was old and needs a... more

Well, the room was actually OK, nice big bed and clean, this hotel is perfect for a cheap stay over, and ideally situated right in the town centre. It had the usual coffee/tea facilities, TV (which was hoisted so high on the wall it nearly touched the celing), decent shower etc. However, if you are staying on a Friday or... more

Well what can I say that hasn’t already been said – To be fair the hotel I thought was quite nice, clean room big bed and to make a bit of a change had a Chinese noodle restaurant instead of a pub which made a nice change from the normal Steak & Chips, The staff were really friendly and polite... more
