Location is right on waterfront, some lovely views. Walking distance from the station(15 mins).Might be a bit noisy in "high"season with people on the yachts and outside waterfront bars etc.. Gothic style conversion of an old wharehouse with a completely modern and contemporary add on -fits in well with the other regenerations around.Room and bathroom both large but ceiling low... More

Ipswich has been under resourced for hotels both in terms of quantity and quality. The nett result has been a mediocre quality and expensive offering. I haven't been to The Salthouse since it opened. Then the restaurant experience was at odds with the overall hotel experience. Roll forward the clock and wow! What a place. Probably the best rooms in... More

Our second visit to the Salthouse did not dissapoint. On this occasion we spoilt ourselves and had a harbour view room with champagne and strawberries waiting, plus bucks fizz with breakfast. Room 206 was fantastic with a double aspect view of the water through two windows and a balcony. The room was nearly as big as our whole flat and... More

we visited this hotel as a family for a social event and had 2 rooms between the 4 of us. each of the rooms had a brilliant view of the arbour, plenty of space and quirky designs on the walls and corridors making them a unique addition to this already stunningly located hotel. The wakeup call we placed was on... More

First time at this hotel. Stayed 2 nights Absolutely fantastic. Staff were so polite, courteous and clearly well trained. Mostly young people but with fantastic customer service skills. The room was lovely. The restaurant was quirky (but not in an uncomfortable way) very eclectic with its decor and then u'd spot something else! Would highly recommend it. It is a... More

This hotel is located on a restraunt-strip on the waterfront. The access to the hotel from the main bus station is easy on foot. It was a bit noisy at nighttime with the revellers in the pubs/restraunts next door being relatively loud - this wasn't a major problem though. Due to the pictures website I was expecting a "super-chic" hotel,... More

I will keep this short and sweet. We have eaten at the Salthouse several times mainly due to its lovely location, great decor and food, but every time we are disappointed by the service. The waiting on staff lack knowledge of the food and wine and make NO ATTEMPT to build up some sort of customer rapport. They seem mainly... More

Had the opportunity to visit this hotel last year and thought it a most wonderful place. Quirky, creative decor, fantastic views of the mariana and a very good restuarant. We had a room with its own copper bath tub in the centre. Very nice to lay in a bubble bath with a glass of bubbly looking out into the night...v... More

A lovely, different style of hotel right on the marina front at Ipswich. Lots of restaurants close by, has a small but adjacent car park with alternative parking nearby. Really nice unusual rooms and a good bistro restaurant.
