Booked a B&B room for night (as we have 10-15 times before) but was very disappointed. We booked a room (10th May) it was a warm day and on check in was informed they upgraded to a split level room. I have stayed here (room 19) before and was not massively pleased with it. However we accepted checked in went to room and noticed it was very hot put air con on and left card in the room to keep air con on. When we came back to the room the downstairs part was cold ( the thermostat was by the door, and cold) however when going up stairs to bed (in roof eves) it was about 10oC warmer. We gave it a go but was incredibly uncomfortable at about 1.30am I went to reception to ask for a different room to sleep in as the design (thermostat downstairs and room up meant room was always hot). The guy on reception questioned me about the air con if it were on etc. it’s 1.30am I just want a room. He then came up to the room and showed me room 20 the same design and then said it works in there. It’s not the case the air con was not working it’s just the outlet is downstairs makes that nice and cool then switches off (they also limit air con to 19oC) He asked to come into room and as it was cold (where air con thermostat was) he said it was ok. In the end I left it. We did not sleep well at all and when checking out mentioned this. All we got was oh sorry about that. One of the basic things about a room is ability to sleep and you failed here and the failed with your service. We will not be staying here again and will use The George going forward and can’t wait for the Moxy to open up in the town. From someone who has stayed here for 15 times I suggest you book elsewhere

Lovely 14th century hotel, staffed by excellent friendly, helpful staff. Added bonus of free parking.Our breakfasts were included and were some of best we've had. The full breakfast is cooked to order and comes out piping hot. Much better than a hot buffet. Staff happy to accommodate personal preferences, example I dont like crispy bacon, and my 'soft' bacon was perfect. Yasmin was a delight, first thing in morning, cheerful, helpful and inflammable. Rowen was the perfect reception staff to greet new arrivals during the day. The young lady on reception in evenings was also lovely, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't notice her name. Rooms clean and comfortable, nice to find a fan, as it was rather warm during our stay. The complementary cookies on reception were a nice touch and tasty. It's a good 15minute uphill walk into city centre, which some people may find d a struggle, but there does seem to be plenty of buses running both ways.

Having spent yesterday night here , it’s definitely somewhere we’ll visit again. Friendly staff, great location & rooms of the highest order. Whilst being slightly quirky, we personally thought the furniture & room layout was spot on. The rooms are very individual & spotless. We didn’t have breakfast, as we were on a tight schedule but from what we saw it looked excellent

We stayed for just one night as we were having a school reunion nearby, so we didn't try the restaurant. We didn't have hreakfast either, so can't comment on it. The location is easy to find - just off the A12. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and the bed was comfy. Easy car parking. Exactly what we required.

Just off A12 to the side of the Shell service station on south bound carriage way, you will find free parking slots, but mainly full of vans in the week. Check in was good, the open window in the room didn’t disguise the fact the room had been smoked in. Fairly standard room with no bath, but the bed was softish and narrow for comparable hotels. The breakfast was the standard, but the staff topped up food regularly and cleaned up tables as people left. Due to its location the room rate was reasonable, being 10-15 minutes from the Colchester park and ride.

Had an amazing time! Just what we needed as a couple! The spa facilities were clean and relaxing. Ample amount of space. Dinner was amazing. 5 star service. Mandy our waitress was very attentive and kind. She went above and beyond Thankyou! Will be back again.

Friendly welcome at reception. Room clean and tidy. Our main issue was the bed, uncomfortable and mattress needs updating as saggy and created roll together. OK for one night but we stayed for 2 and both had stiff backs. Breakfast was good, although if you arrive after rush will need to wait for cutlery.

I have lost count how many times i have stayed at the Novotel Ipswich over the past 2 years, but i had not been for 6 months. Nothing has changed, which is good as the hotel is very well located in Ipswich town centre for local pubs, restaurants and the nearby marina. The staff are very helpful and polite and the rooms are always of a high standard. My only gripe is the wi-fi is always hit and miss.
