Location is excellent for what I needed. Staff were excellent, helpful and friendly
Ground floor. Nice size
Not 2 single beds as requested. Only one badly upholstered dirty looking chair. No drinking water, soap, bisquits, tissues, any shampoos or extras.
Clean modern property and rooms. Comfy bed. Free car park. Close to ground for football. Next to pub.
Nothing
Er viel niets tegen alles was naar verwachting. Ik moet zeggen, ik heb daar supper goed geslapen. Goede bedden! De pub vonden we ook leuk. We waren daar voor 1 nacht en er was toevallig een voetbalmatch. Het was er een toffe sfeer. zeker doen.

Reception in pub area, not sure best location for it
Comfy bed, spacious room..
Very thin walls so could hear a lot of noise from other floors , rooms
Freundlichkeit des Personals, sehr gute Unterbringung unserer Fahrräder, gutes Frühstück
Lovely big room. Clean and good value for money.
All fine
There was a lot near by and the room was amazing
There was so much traffic and there should be more selection in the pub
Really enjoyed our stay. Breakfast good value, staff very accommodating, liked the outdoor area for kids (we have a 6 year old and this made it much more pleasant!). Comfy beds and spacious room for 3. Location - not a great area of town, bit rough - gd to be near Lidl and not too far to walk to town during day however.
Only thing I didn’t like was people allowed to vape outside. And near kids’ play area.
Room was reasonably sized for the price, dinner in the pub was great.
Breakfast options could've been a bit better, but understand its tough to make a profit when you're only serving hotel guests
Location ( close to family ) , clean , tidy , lovely staff
Only one thing . It says garden view but we were on second floor and could only see tree tops !
We loved the stay staff was friendly look after us well xx
It was a good stay will be back xx very good
All the staff were very polite friendly and helpful.
The brown toast with the poached eggs was soggy and the eggs not runny, but everything else about our stay was great.
All round great room this was our 2nd stay will definitely be back.

For me the location brilliant easy to get to and very convenient The price was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful shout out to Tomas !
Great location. Near enough to town centre but in a lovely quiet area. Accommodation was spotlessly clean and quite roomy. Staff were superb, nothing was any trouble for them. Very polite and friendly. Food was good too. Great place to stay, I would return again.
Nice big rooms with all facilities, friendly staff, easy check in and check out, comfortable beds.
Very clean and staff were absolutely lovely!
Air conditioning in our room made it a comfortable stay in hot weather. The staff were friendly and obliging when we reported a problem sorting out the issue quickly. Plenty of car park space.
We were perturbed to find used towels left on the back of the door in the ensuite, suggesting that the room wasn't cleaned as carefully as we would expect. The hanging space for clothes was too short for hanging anything longer than suits and lack of any storage would be a problem if staying longer.
Freundliches Personal und gutes Essen im Pub
The staff was friendly and the bed was quite comfortable
There was hardly any milks, tea bags etc . The kettle was full of water obviously from a previous person staying in the room. The room could have done with being a bit cleaner as there was some dust in places
Very nice and new accommodation block on the other side of the car park to the pub
Couldn’t get cold water in the room, however should be easily fixable!
Good beds
Even though it was marked as "good location" it was a 20mins walk from any place of importance. So not central at all and not ideal for families
All
All good
Very comfortable bed and a good shower
Peeling paint in the bathroom, wobbly toilet seat. Only two teabags and one set of towels for two people. The latter two issues were only discovered too late at night to sort out.
Clean, safe and a godsend after a cancellation by another property
Nothing
Comfy bed and the room was clean. Most importantly the air conditioning because it’s very hot weather. Worth to stay .
The location as we were commuting to foxhall stadium
That I woke after the first night to my friend walking in to my room due to the fact the batteries has ran out on my door and it didn't actually lock so myself and 11 year old daughter slept with an unlocked door!!!
The rooms were very good, clean, spacious and comfortable. We had the carvery when we arrived which was very good and so was the breakfast. Would definitely go back again.
There was nothing to dislike
Close to town centre, tasty breakfast and friendly staff
Nothing, all good for the price
Staff were friendly and helpful
Everything was good
Central to the town. Lovely pub on the grounds with a restaurant with good pub food. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. You checked in at the pub. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Breakfast was great, lots of choice of cooked and continental.
Nothing really
Air conditioning was excellent
We stayed in the hotel its was lovely and staff are amazing
No lift
Central location
Smoking directly outside of sliding doors, very smelly
We stayed for one night. The hotel is very nice, with a comfortable bed and a spacious room. The food in the restaurant was delicious and prepared quickly. There is also a small, enclosed playground where the children could play safely and freely.
Good food and service and very good room
Nothing
I had the omelette with cheese and mushroom, it was very nice.
My husband and FIL had the cooked breakfast and although they said it tasted ok it looked very dry and overcooked
The room was clean and quiet. Food was excellent.

Geen plaats om fietsen veilig op te bergen. Lang moeten wachten om fietsen terug te krijgen.

Bed were comfy.bathroom very clean
We booked a family room for myself and my adult son..had ask them for a sheet and duvet for the sofa bed..only 2 tea bags and no sugar.
Good value accommodation and food, spacious twin room, friendly staff, pub atmosphere and character
Handwash dispensers were difficult to use
The location was ideal for an evening show at the Ipswich Regent
The TV in the room was troublesome. The adaptor to the ariel was broken and making poor contact affecting the signal.
Nice and tidy.
We booked for 2 children to stay with us and we’re not given any bedding for towels for my them and had to go and ask for it to be done. Also I paid extra when booking for breakfast (1 adult and 2 small children) and they still tried to charge me when ordering. This should be checked before taking the order of each customer. I was told I wouldn’t be able to have a full Monty breakfast as it was ‘too much’ however when we added up mine and my children’s breakfast we actually paid more online when booking than what we would have done on the day. I feel if this is an issue then a separate menu should be provided for those who have already prepaid even though they should be entitled to the whole menu if they are actually paying more through booking.
Room
Breakfast
Great value. Good breakfast. Good staff.
Great for Ipswich Town FC but a little distance from town.
Michael was a staff member the night i arrived. His professional approach was amazing. The room was the issue definitely won’t stay again. Michael however went that little bit extra.
Room dingy . Bed was two mattresses push together, uncomfortable, rationed tea facilities , every time you got up the floors would creak and thud .. all round disappointing.
Very poor as only cooked breakfast offered
Cold help yourself breakfast
Clean, tidy and spacious room, well equipped.
Very close to a very busy road junction and therefore a lot of road noise. Breakfast doesn't start until 7am, which is a little late when working.
Le calme des chambres séparées du pub restaurant. L'accueil du personnel et le restaurant où les plats étaient délicieux.
Au restaurant, l'obligation de commander et payer par téléphone. Manque de contact humain. Le manque d'explication au petit-déjeuner pour savoir à quoi on avait accès.
Clean, tidy, spacious and excellent value for money.
Central location Clean and spacious room
Great hotel and pub friendly helpful staff.
Great room, pub excellent especially the cavery. Location good for everything including the football ground and waterfront.
