The staff are lovely and friendly and they accommodated my request for a quiet room. The check in and out process was quick and easy. I didn’t sleep so well because of noise from the next door’s TV until past midnight but obviously that’s inevitable and not the hotel’s fault. The room was spacious and had high ceilings but it’s quite tired and needs a facelift- a redecoration, regrouting, a new bathroom light cord etc. It does the job for the night though.

The mattress is horrible, the sink is dirty, the carpet is dirty and needs a deep cleaning from the entrance. I don't want to imagine the other rooms.

Pleasant and helpful staff. Plenty of free parking and located centrally in town. Great price and value for money. Recommend for a informal, low cost stay in a historic building.

Hotel was a bit dated, bit of a 70's era for furniture and decor which was quite charming. Rooms confortable, staff friendly and welcoming, great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Reasonable budget hotel.

A bit dated but clean, it is what I would expect at this price point. My only criticism is the low water pressure on the shower, but it was usable.

It suited our need for a convenient 2 night stay. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was warm, clean and had everything we needed. It was also priced appropriately. The twin beds were a little springy but we still slept well. We would go back there!

Stayed here for 3 nights as we met up up with relations who live in Bury St Edmunds. Staff here were friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean & shower was fine. We had food one night and it was nice enough. Place needed a bit of updating. We paid £65 a night for room only so I would say it wasn't expensive.
