If was in Ipswich to provide holiday cover for our branch manager and needed B&B close to the shop with parking. Like most of your other reviewers, I was not impressed with the general state of the rooms or facilities. The first week, I had a ground floor room with practically no natural light and frosted single glazed windows that... more

For £20.00 per night you really cant go wrong. The rooms are basic, but the bedding is clean and the full breakfast is good. Staff are friendly and helpful and it is only a 5 minutes walk into the town centre. We stayed over for a wedding last week for two nights and slept very well both nights. Off street... more

When we arrived at the Carlton Hotel with our booking confirmation form in hand, we were told that our booked twin room (with ensuite bathroom) was no longer available and that we would have to have a basic twin room and use the bathroom on the half-landing. As we had expected an ensuite bathroom neither of us had brought dressing... more

I wouldn't recommend staying here!!! The rooms are terrible and look like they haven't been cleaned for years! Also, the staff are not very hospitable. There are so many much nicer places to stay in Ipswich for a similar price. more
