Very comfortable stay, good location, short walk into town centre. Nice breakfast, though short of vegan options.. Would come back.
Roland, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel. Comfortable rooms and great showers. My one small gripe is that it would have been great if the fridge in the room had water in it - even a bottle of tap water!
Jonathan, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Disappointing

The hotel is tired with dirty carpets. The customer service at check in, reception and the bar were not very good. No expected added extras such as shower caps, water etc in the room. Stayed at Novotel in Leeds and it was lovely.
Marie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

On arrival, we were given the wrong room. This was rectified however the room we were given had a terribly strong unpleasant smell. It came from the drainage. The hotel staff spray air freshener but this only masked the smell for a short anount of time. We were offered complimentary breakfast for our inconvenience. The size of our room was great and the staff did the best they could but overall the stay was very underwhelming. I will add that the staff at breakfast were particularly welcoming.

Decent in all respects.
ANDREW, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

There are some great Positives about Novotel Ipswich. It’s nicely situated with the town centre (and restaurants) a short walk one way and the waterfront a short walk away the other way. The staff in the hotel are friendly and reception was welcoming. Cannot comment on the food as didn’t partake. Breakfast if pre-booked was £15.95 pp. there are options nearby instead. We had a room on the car park side of the hotel which, whilst not a great view, was at least quiet. The opposite side is by the inner ring road and may be noisy. The car park has signs indicating that it’s £20 per 24h to park. If staying don’t take any notice of that and instead pay at Reception £7 for 24h. Didn’t see any cheaper alternatives nearby. Room comfortable enough but my feeling was that it’s a borderline 4* and probably a high 3* as services and additions were limited. I found the guest WiFi poor in the room (3rd floor) and the TV

Easy parking and a very well located hotel to walk around the town.

Limited evening menu choices, excellent breakfast options. In room fridge and safe were both faulty.

Always good.

Stayed at the Novotel many times, always clean and tidy and the rooms are very good.
Jack, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice comfy hotel

A nice comfy hotel with good looking reception and dinning areas. I enjoyed my night there. Had breakfast in the morning and it was lovely. Only downside is I requested my receipt by email and left my details @ reception but didn’t receive it as promised.
Emmanuel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The quality was poor. An executive room was just a regular room. There was mold in the window. Staff was hard to come by and you end up waiting a while. The staff even messed up my food order. The drink order they tapped the keg dry, decided to replace it, and use the same half from the tapped keg glass to complete my order after stating it wasnt to quality and you cant have it. Only one elevator. No dog amenities and the information about dogs was unclear. You cant leave them alone in the room even if you assume liability and pay for a deposit.
Jeff, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, walking distance to train station and downtown shopping/restaurants. The service was great and the breakfast was good. The hotel seems to be in the process of renovating. Our room was comfortable though the mattress was a bit hard for my taste. Slept very well though.

Havde et handicap værelse hvor badeværelset var meget kalket til. Og dør pumperne på dørerne værelserne var ude af funktion så de smækker og vækker alt og alle. Sengen er rigtigt god og har brugt hotellet en del gange. Så udgå værelse 207
