We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially the restaurant staff. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Loved the extra large, fluffy white towels in the bathroom. We slept very well. It was very peaceful. We had an evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. Both were good. The breakfast buffet was superb.

I would describe our stay as okay however the photos on the hotel.com website does not reflect how the hotel/accommodation actually looks,
parts of The Best Western in Bury St Edmunds needs refreshing with money spent on carpets and decor. The patio area not only needs cleaning but the smell of cat feces is overwhelming in warm weather.

Staff were good, friendly and helpful.
I was put in a room outside of the main building. Had a bit of a motel vibe.

The room itself, a classic double.. disgusting!!
Stains on the carpet, paint over the curtains and side of the tv. Units completely dated.
Bathroom full of mould.
Ceiling light fittings broken.
Very poor dodgy repairs maid around the room.

Main issue.. the room was freezing. They provided an extra oil heater in the room which I had to put on full next to the bed.
The bathroom was like an ice box, even the floor was ice cold to walk on.
The mould around the bathroom was disgusting.

The room front door led to the path and grass area on the site. The door did not feel secure at all and let in air and light. I did not feel safe if I’m honest. Anyone could walk onsite and attempt access to the outbuilding rooms.

I could hear conversations from the room next door which went on all night so I didn’t really get to sleep, the cold also didn’t help with sleeping.

Maybe the rooms in the main building are a 3* but what I experienced wasn’t even rateable as a 1*.

Before I left I had a look inside the kettle, what was growing in it was unidentifiable. The water must have been left in there for some time. Disgusting!

In my view, that room was not fit for purpose but I had no choice but to use it as no other rooms were available and I arrived in the early hours of the morning. I spent 6h in that room. Never again will I stop there.

well, on arrival, there was no hot water or heating in my room. The lady on reception was awesome and got a boiler engineer out as one part of the hotel was affected (which they didnt know about) - three hours later, the heating and hot water was back on, so was able to have a bath that night. The following morning, again there was no heatong or hot water., Reported to reception on leaving, who didnt seem interested. The toilet in my room had an intermittent fault whereby after flushing, the overflow would continually run for about an hour, then stop on it own, only to restart for no reason. This was really annoying as it woke me up multiple times and I had very little sleep. Eventually, I had to close the bathroom door and wear earplugs. Would not return.

We booked to stay on a Saturday evening. Room 41 itself was pleasant enough. However it was incredibly hot and we could not change the radiator to enable it to be turned off. There was a lot of mould in the bathroom which looked like it had not been treated for a while and was an unpleasant experience. There were notices warning us that the water was incredibly hot, however I took a shower in the morning which was fine, but my partner followed immediately but there was no hot water left and she had to have a very quick cold shower. Another unpleasant experience. At Reception another guest was complaining he did not shower as the water was far too hot. The worst experience came from the function which was happening in the main part of the hotel. The doors and windows were open and the extremely loud music and party revelers accompanying singing meant we had to wait until it finished to be able to sleep. We could not concentrate on our TV viewing or reading. We could not open the window to cool the room due to the sounds. When we spoke to the duty manager he said it was within their health and safety limits - which I dispute as I struggled to hear him speak. Also he very rudely said what did we expect as we had booked at a hotel which has functions and we were lucky it finished at 11 instead of the normal midnight.The website mentioned the functions. However on re reading the website it clearly mentions ' a true oasis of calm and a tranquil environment. I totally disagree.

The BW Nostalgia collection

The Priory is a beautiful hotel from BW’s 1980’s nostalgia collection, and this one didn’t disappoint. Complete with original furniture, moody lighting, 8:30pm restaurant/room service close, creaky floors and single glaze drafty windows.
You can tell they’ve worked hard to replicate the late 80’s look. They even provide a complimentary jar of parma violets and swizzels drumsticks!
My only complaint is that I couldn’t get Ceefax on the tv (couldn’t get much else either).
Well worth a visit if you grew up in the 80’s and enjoy a stroll along memory lane. Won’t suit those looking for something modern and comfortable.

3 night stay for local business, conveniently positioned hence the choice, Obviously a historical building can't be designed like a purpose built characterless chain, but depending on the nature of your visit this may either be welcomed, or a frustration. Staff were very friendly and helpful, just a shame they don't have a building that matches the standards they achieve. Room was small, full of patina....and cavernous bathroom had a shower that produced water at random temperatures, irrespective of its settings, stair carpet extremely dirty. Only the excellent staff would make me consider this as a suitable choice for a business stopover in the future.

I stayed in a dog-friendly room and it was spotless. A relaxed stay with pleasant staff around.

I only had one problem that was resolved without fuss - I wanted a light meal and asked for chicken breast with house salad. The Chef could do this but not the computer; when it came it was delicious.

Grounds suffering from drought and and dead bushes reduced what could have been a most attractive seating area, but the main lawns were easily reached.

It was ok for just a bed for the night not more

It was ok easy check in and out. Room was relatively dusty with cob Weber on lamp. Bathroom looked like it needed a deeper clean as had mould around seals and on ceiling. Also I had a disabled room which wasn’t need and thankfully not as the hand rail on the door poked as though it wouldn’t last much longer as there was a gap between the screws and door. Also had weird blood like stains in bathroom. Also the tv was very dated and wasn’t smart and the normal tv channels didn’t work as kept stuttering and cutting out. Thankfully had something I could plug in to watch tv. Though defiantly didn’t seem like a hd screen

I have stayed before, previously in the main house. This time i was in one of the lodges, detached from the main building. My problem wasn't with the hotel or staff, however the walls between rooms are very thin, my neighbour decided to have a 2 hour telephone converstaion that i could have joined in with! At 6.30am her alarm started to go off, unfortunately she had already left the room so it continued to sound without anyone there to turn it off.

Worst hotel room I have ever stayed in!!!!

Title: Worst Room I Have Ever Stayed In

I stay in over 40 hotels a year, and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. The first thing that hit me was the overpowering smell of damp when I walked into the room. The carpet looked disgusting, and the furniture was extremely dated. The mattress was so firm it felt like there was no mattress at all.

I then noticed what appeared to be a splatter of vomit or some other liquid on the skirting boards. The bathroom fittings were missing parts, and the taps and power shower were covered in limescale and dirt. Despite all this, I decided to tough it out until I went to lie down and discovered vomit on the pillow inside a clean pillowcase.

This was the final straw. I went to reception to complain and request a room change, but no other rooms were available. I couldn't stand another moment in this disgusting room, fearing what I might find next, so I packed up and left.

Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Never Again

The room was all right . But there was no room cleaning overnight. The beds were not remade and we found the towels still in the bath. If it had not been for the biscuits being changed, we would not have known that anyone had been in there. The TV had limited channels and kept cutting out We had dinner in the hotel on the first night. It was dire. Terrible tough inedible lumps of chicken in the curry and the smallest piece of over-microwaved sea bass ever. Not at all what we would expect from Best Western

Did the job.

Completely soulless as you enter Reception. All managed using computer screens. No humans present. Directions to my room were terrible. Given it is an old building with bolt-ons, I ended up asking the chef where to find my room. You go through a maze of corridors, and up and down stairs like a fiddler's elbow. Room was OK. Welcome folder a little dated, but boiled sweets and decent tea and coffee facilities nice touch. Can't fault the food, as went across the road to the pub for dinner. Breakfast was OK, same staff both days.
