Very good, allowed early check in, clean room, great shower.
sarah
Great location for a one night stay, clean room and very quiet which was lovely. The aircon was great and I asked for a room away from the room which was supplied.
Troy on reception was amazing great customer services which is very rare.
Would I stay again yes I used it for a nights stay after a great day at Jimmy’s farm. Car park was good and cost £7 for the whole time

Jamie
Enjoyed my stay, the hotel was clean and tidy and had good amenities including a great breakfast and dinner was convenient rather than 5 star.
The other challenge was onsite or limited onsite parking.
Would I stay again, yes I would if I am back visiting my client.

BARRY
Very nice, clean room for the money, good car park, nice polite helpful staff
Nigel
Excellent location for Ipswich Town centre and the marina, no problem parking in the car park. The room was clean and comfortable with good facilities, bath, shower TV, tea and coffee etc. Breakfast was a buffet with a reasonable selection of hot and cold options.
Sarah
Our stay was great. Staff were friendly and helpful and room was clean and comfortable. The only area that needs improving is the children’s area. There were a lot of broken toys and random bits which made it difficult to play with.
Christine

Christine
Staff were excellent ,everything was clean and room size good. Bathroom spotless with nice fluffy towels. Breakfast was plentiful and good,the only minus being the coffee .
Ask for a room at back of hotel ,less noise

Emmanuel
The Lounge area was very nice, lovely reception staff and great breakfast but any joy ends there.
The corridor towards my room smelt so bad. My room was tired and the kettle was damaged and riddled with lime scale. There was also a very musty smell in the bathroom.
However, the worst thing was that the sound of traffic filled my room all night snd kept waking me up.
I’ve stayed here a few times and never heard the traffic so probably down to the location of my room 😞

It was nice and tidy. Not enough outlets on the bed side of the room. Had to stretch cords for chargers. 1 more outlet on the headboard side would make it easier.

Staff was helpful, room service food was really bad
SIMON
Name check for Jordan ( front of house ) This gentleman went above and beyond. As ITFC were playing at home I had to park temporarily on yellow lines in the car park. He offered to move his own car do I could park.
ANDREW
Decent in all respects.
Dr Sotiris
Clean and tidy comfy room
Martijn
Very modern, clean rooms, and nice atmosphere.
Only problem was staff. Mostly lack of. Had to wait a while because no one was there for checkin. After 10-15 min other (friendly) staffmember checked us in. Other minor issue was taxis. Staff wil not order them for you. You have to do this yourself. Although its not a problem i never had to do this in any hotel i’ve been to.

Lovely helpful and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and spacious. Great location with walking distancenof the train station and city centre. Would highly recommend
David
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
Richard
Ideally located hotel for town centre and station. Room comfortable and very clean, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast good.
David
Easy parking and a very well located hotel to walk around the town.
Jeremy
Limited evening menu choices, excellent breakfast options.

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.

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.

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.
Jonathan
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!
Roland
Very comfortable stay, good location, short walk into town centre.
Nice breakfast, though short of vegan options..
Would come back.

Novotel is a lovely hotel, Lovely & helpful staff, very clean and a nice feel, we will be coming back for sure fairly soon. More areas to visit. I would give this hotel 10\10 and we rarely give that score.... Mr & Mrs Reed....Thank you Novotel.

Great central location good standard hotel and all services in house or nearby.

tv was of poor standard. pillows was terrible. noisy location
martin
Good value for money, clean and good location for town and theatre, although did feel a little unsafe at night walking back due to noisy groups and environment but perhaps that's an age thing ( mid sixties).

The hotel was superb and the biggest choice of breakfast i think i have ever seen. The rooms are fresh and the bar area and reception are spacious.
We had a really pleasant stay

It would be helpful to have towel rails in bathroom and some coat hooks also. A small wasbasin in separate toilet would be good. Some instructions regarding the heating system would help.
Nathan
Paid for parking than got fined, parking was a nightmare spaces you had to climb out the window to get out, the fine added insult to what was a joke. otherwise ok bar closed early.
Peter
Relaxing stay
Great overnight stay in large comfortable room. Drinks and food a little pricey but hey-ho
stuart
The hotel is OK, it's owned by a cost cutting company. It has no character, it's purely functional. It is clean, the people working there are doing their best. The breakfast offering is appalling, just the cheapest, nastiest food substitutes, scrambled egg out of a pre-made bag and cheap nasty bread.
Jim
Room was really nice clean spacious with a fridge very comfortable bed. Only downside was the awful smell from the bathroom drains.
Staff were great and breakfast was excellent

Warm & friendly welcome!
We had a really warm, friendly welcome from the lady at the reception desk when we arrived. Our room was comfortable & clean. The rooms are big. There's not a hug amount if furniture in the rooms but it exactly as pictures show and funtional. The bar area was nice, very quiet but didn't bother us. We had a few games of Pool which was an unexpected nice touch. This hotel was everything I would expect for the money, if not more. Great location to walk to the Marina where we gad a lovely meal at the Bistro on the Quay!

Room smelled of blocked drains. Very bad when using shower or sink

All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The man helping with breakfast service couldn’t do enough for us food was good. Nice and fresh.
Ali
The perfect stay
Super super clean, helpful recycling facilities, comfortable room, thoughtful touches, modern bathroom. Really really happy - exceptionally good value for money, excellent customer service with the personal touch. Will definitely return. Excellent base from which to explore nearby Suffolk coast. Great position a very short walk (under 5 mins) from Ipswich waterfront/marina.

Two night dreadful stay.
I stayed at this for two nights here in Ipswich. The place was refurbished to the current style. There are some disappointments unfortunately. I was first disappointed by the logistics parking vehicles. I paid for parking using \"Pay by Phone\". However, it was found out during check-in, I get discounts. What a wasting money! While the room was refurbished and well air conditioned, the soundproof and the loud door banging by other people threw me off quite a lot during my stay. I had to put the headphone all the time. The sofa in the room was useless. The sofa seemed detachable and not in the wall fully. If it detaches, it could easily go into an injury. Breakfast - I have no comment for this was. I was not satisfied with the food quality. I was also not satisfied by the quality of the service. The plates were really hot(!) and witnessed guests including myself had to use the paper napkins to hold the plate. Why not putting the plates on the side once its warm enough? While the place is in Ipswich, the professionalism was not there. For example, I tried to sort out the parking in the morning of the second day, I waited for ten minutes in the reception, but no body was there. It is important that somebody needs to be at the reception desk should the guests need help all the time. So based on my comments, there are some improvements needed.

Staff were very polite and helpful and the rooms were lovely and clean . Will Definately visit again an enjoyable experience
samantha
The stay was perfect from start to finish
Stephen
Nice and central for ipswich, but not right in the centre about a 5 minute walk from the town centre, the waterfront, and the station . The staff were lovely. The gym was small, but clean and more than enough for a weekend stay.
Would definitely use again.

Overall Good Hotel
Found the room was a bit smelly on first entering it, as if someone had been smoking in the room before.
Slept well. Parking was an issue as no spaces were available on arrival at the hotel, so I had to pay for parking on a nearby road/street.

Really lovely rooms, great value for the price. The staff are all really lovely and welcoming!

Decent, comfortable, but could be better
Nice hotel, very good location. Staff relatively friendly. However, was woken up two days in a row from 8.30am due to drilling and DIY work on my floor. I understand the work has to be done and it was midweek. But at least think about the guests and start loud drilling a bit later
Lindsey
The rooms were clean, large and modern with a great power shower. Bed was a bit firm for us and I don't know why hotel pillows are just so bad.liked the hotel, good value for money and would stay again if in the area.
Lucy
Perfect for what I needed

Kevin
A vwry comfortable 2 night stay with good breakfast choice.
Ian
Good/bad
Hotel is great if you’re not out on the side which it shares with a busy round about like I did, to their credit when I asked to be moved an was moved to the quite side it was great and I had a lovely sleep but I doubt I’d if slept on the other side.
Chantal
Good choice for Ipswich
Clean room. Welcoming staff.
Roxanne
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.

Great stay. Security guard blew his top when i had to pry open the front door at 1am. Not as friendly as i would like.

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.
Carol
Nice hotel in convenient location
Nice enough hotel. Fairly basic and a little overpriced. Room in need of some refurbishment. The bathroom was good. All staff very polite and helpful.
Sarah
Great stay
Quiet and comfortable stay. Great sized room and clean. The staff were pleasant and helpful. A lovely little surprise in the room as being selected as 'guest of the week'!

Would eat/drink here but not sleep.
Staff were lovely, the lobby was warm and welcoming and the bar/restaurant were very comfortable. In regards to the room - the main shower head was very obviously in need of replacing or at least cleaning and there was a noise coming from above us that sounded like a washing machine which started in the evening and ended in the morning, I only slept a few hours because it kept me up. I tried Novotel because I fancied a change from our usual hotel choice but I don't think I'll go here again.
