Good location for where I was working. My room was large with a comfortable bed. Tea and coffee facilities were good and tv channels ok. Only really downside was very poor water pressure in the shower. I would stay there again.

Convenient location. Stunning bathroom (with shower only) and plenty of toiletries. The TV signal kept getting interrupted. No aircon, only a fan. Noise travelled through from function being held below our room. Old furniture. A fridge in the room would have been nice. Free parking if signed in at Reception. Overall not a bad hotel.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Breakfast was really nice. The bed was comfortable. Really liked seeing the elephant out front aswell, really nice touch. Rooms are in need of a bit of modernisation, only 1 plug socket in the whole room.

Stayed here several times now and never had a problem. This time we went for a suite and the extra few pounds really was worth it as the rooms were huge and had everything you would want plus as usual very clean. Great location and lovely old building. Only negative is I think they should reserve parking for hotel guests as if they have an event on its first come first served basis. During the day it’s not an issue but I popped out for 20 minutes in the evening and came back to find a choir rehearsing and no parking spaces available.

We enjoyed a lovely quiet couple's getaway while we went to the Ed Sheeran concert in Ipswich. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel was very quiet and relaxing. The town centre is in walking distance and has some really nice and reasonably priced cafes. There is a short walk to a pebble beach and beautiful gardens.
