Reception staff excellent. Breakfast staff good but overstretched. Room 122 , tiny, dark, too hot but a fan provided. The worst we have stayed in Breakfast diabolical. All hot food had been cooked probably 2 hours before. Eggs hard and shrivelled. We have stayed so many times but doubt we will return. So sorry.

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.

We were very pleased with our Felixstowe stay at the Orwell. The room was comfortable and clean. The evening meal had an indian influence and I tried some interesting and enjoyable dishes. An adequate breakfast paved the way for the day, after our solid sleep. So if the need calls for a return to the town then we will stay here.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness
Room basic but very clean, beds really comfy, you get free parking and it's approx 10 min walk along the high street to the beach. Water in bathroom is on some type of water flow restrictor so don't expect a power shower however, the water was hot and bathroom very clean. Person who checked us in wasn't the most welcoming however, the person on reception the next morning was helpful. No Air Con in our room (205) however, there was a fan in the room and you can open the windows. Didn't use the bar or have any food so can't comment on those parts.
