Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located, close to many key amenities and restaurants, but the presence of construction activity was a bit disruptive. The rooms are cozy and quiet, and the service, especially by Stephen, was exceptional. The dining options were a mixed bag, with some positive experiences but also pricey. Overall, the hotel provided a convenient stay experience with a few notable drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a short stay, especially the Privilege category. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff. The location was ideal for exploring Ipswich town and the waterfront area. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a great selection of fresh food. Overall, a great value for money with only a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel has a lovely size room and a good bathroom, though it seemed dated for a novo hotel. The service was really helpful and communicative but missed some details. The location is excellent for our trip and central to the town center. The dining was fantastic with a great selection of foods but might be overpriced. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with its convenient location close to the town center and a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants. The room was mostly clean, although the proximity to a flat roof made me a bit wary of leaving the window open at night. Still, I felt comfortable during my stay.
