I stayed in several hotels locally this week while visiting a relative in intensive care at the hospital nearby. I had booked this hotel for myself and my mum for Saturday.

On Friday morning we were told that she would not survive. In the distress of that news, I missed the cancellation cut-off for the booking. I attempted to contact the hotel shortly afterwards by phone and email to explain the situation and request some flexibility, even if that meant moving the booking rather than cancelling outright. I received no response.

I then asked Hotels.com to assist, but was informed the hotel would not make any exception to the cancellation policy.

I fully understand that policies exist. However, given the circumstances and the fact I tried to make contact as soon as possible, I had hoped for some level of compassion or discretion.

This was a very difficult time for my family, and the lack of any flexibility or response was disappointing.

This was a 2 night stay. Lovely staff, but not many of them. No hot water in our room, had a tepid bath. The room was not cleaned on the Saturday, no bins emptied. No coffee sachets in the room, just a very few tea bags.
Breakfast is supposed to be between 8 and 10. By 9.am
All hot food had been taken away, no bread left. So only option was some cereal and yoghurt. All fruit had also disappeared except some apples. The second morning was a bit better, there were a few croissants and pain au chocolat, but soon all were gone and not replenished. The hot dishes were some green looking scrambled egg, badly cooked bacon and some chipolatas with baked beans. Terrible. The tables and chairs are very shabby and round the back of the hotel, disgarded mattresses and broken armchairs. Not a pretty sight. The bar stopped serving at 10pm. Which is very early. I would not return.

Perfect for our needs, location spot on. Breakfast lovely, but Sunday was a little short on items, not up to usual standard. No plates available. so maybe a new staff member not used to breakfast service???
Room large, clean and comfy. In room drinks great, large cups, and if you run out go to restaurant and pick up more. No complaints. Bathroom standard fare, shower HOT and powerful, smallest gripe was temperature was tricky to select, small movement could have big change, but once set it was wonderful.

Overall a good experience. Breakfast was buffet style with a good choice of cereals if you wanted. Evening meals were well cooked and realistically priced but not served on Sunday. The Crown Inn is within a few minutes walk though.
Staff were helpful and readily available during this stay. Rooms are a good size. Evenings were getting cool and manually adjustable radiators are fitted. The Hotel is handily placed for touring south suffolk as well as Essex. Flatford mill being just a few miles into Suffolk is a must see for art lovers!
Would definitely book again if I'm in the area.

The hotel entrance is lovely which belies the real state of the decor which is very outdated and carpets, particularly in the hallways really old and smell. Room was fine, fan provided which was welcome.
The staff were welcoming, and hardworking. Continental breakfast was a disaster as there was nothing left when we went down at 9am Sunday morning. Not even a toaster . No croissants or yogurt or fruit. Staff were embarrassed but management should ensure there is enough food when breakfast has been paid for in advance.
Its a beautiful setting and quiet . Bed was comfy and water hot so lots of positives too.

Unusable Room and No Refund

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room I was given had a strong and persistent smell of cigarette smoke, which caused me a headache within minutes. The receptionist acknowledged the issue but the hotel was fully booked, so I had no choice but to leave and find another place to stay. I was told a refund would be arranged, but it was later refused. Poor customer service and no accountability. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel based on my experience.

The hotel was ok for the price paid. Plenty of car parking spaces.

Room was passable for two nights. It was cleanish, carpet could’ve done with a thorough hoover and not just where people walk. Bed was hard. Room was very hot but at least there was a fan but couldn’t have it on to sleep. Shower curtain was mouldy and trying to get the shower to a temperature we could shower under was tricky.

The USB sockets didn’t work in the room so had to go and buy a desktop plug in adapter so we could charge our devices.

Breakfast wasn’t great. Reasonable selection but the milk for cereal was warm and so was fruit juices. On both mornings they had no white bread for toast I was told they had run out on the first morning but still none on the second morning even though there was a large supermarket five minutes down the road. We ended up going to a fast food restaurant for breakfast.

So we had out of pocket expenses which could’ve been avoided.

Overall it was ok for the money but I will stick with my usual chain hotel in future.

Very Disappointing

Our 2 night stay in room 122 was not the best. The room was generally clean except for the persistent odour of stale urine (which was unsuccessfully treated) in the bathroom. Very warm nights were the main cause of restlessness. There was no cooling aprart from keeping the window open to the still night air on the first night. The second night was better with a mild breeze. No fan or air conditioning was present.
Breakfast was uninspiring with low quality sausages and a scrambled egg mass. The toaster was very ancient and needed some studying to find out how it worked. The toasting was very hit and miss. Tea was OK and coffee from a vending machine (no payment required), really not a good substitute for a good filter or espresso machine.

We had a very nice overnight stay. The hotel decor was welcoming, warm and bright, and all staff were friendly and professional. The beds were fresh, clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The shower was powerful and hot and there were toiletries provided if needed. We brought our own hairdryer and there didn't appear to be one provided in the room. The heating was efficient and easily adjusted.
There was a large selection at the continental breakfast buffet, and the cooked breakfast was hot and fresh, with good quality bacon and sausages.
Our only slight criticism was that the breakfast tables were painted wood with no covering and did not appear as clean as they could be. Tea/coffee stains on the table tops and dust in the grooves around the edges detracted from the otherwise lovely, bright breakfast room. The paper menus were also food/drink stained and could easily be replaced.
Overall we thought The Dragonfly was a great, reasonably priced hotel for our overnight stay and we would stay there again.

A surprising stay

Never used Dragonfly (Suraya) hotels before so was not sure what to expect.
The reception was warm, welcoming and could not be more helpful
My room was large (executive), warm, cosy with a great sized bed that was really comfortable
The food was good, great choices, fresh and delicious, shame i could not put on room or open a tab.
Spirit drinks were limited in choice.
All in all a great stay and would look to use this chain again through the East of England

Another great stay!!

The hotel is well placed for the traveler. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a good choice for breakfast, With a bar and restaurant you can enjoy a casual drink and food during your stay. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Free parking onsite is a great bonus as you seem to have to pay almost everywhere else. My only gripe is that we had an executive room with very poor WiFi connection. This does not detract from a very nice stay and we will look forward to returning next year.

Really like the hotel it is convenient and clean with a reasonble resturant. For this stay I needed to change the dates and between Expedia and the hotel they couldn't get their act together to move the date in time which left me with no choice but to make a second booking which cost me a lot of money.

Lovely hotel.
Room and bathroom were very clean.
Bar area was pleasant and reasonably priced.

Inly let down was that the food service was a bit slow, we waited about 50 minutes.
Lots of people were waiting for meals then they all came out in one go.

Not the best experience

It's clearly a hotel running to a tight budget. Dinner in the evening was ruined as the kitchen 'lost our order' - after 50 minutes of waiting we had to re-order! Room was okay - but didn't get serviced, even with the 'Please Service my room' label hung on door.

For similar price could have stayed at Holiday Inn...

Great stay!

We were welcomed as we stepped inside by Jess on reception. We asked for a front facing room & she obliged. The hotel has a really nice interior as you walk in. Very inviting. Our room was clean and comfortable with a good shower over bath. Nice & quiet. We ate dinner in the restaurant it was hot and very tasty & fairly priced. A nice bar & lounge. Very relaxing & comfortable throughout. We slept well & had breakfast though we only wanted toast but there was hot stuff if you wanted. Coffee machine did a nice latte. Glad I found this little gem. Shout out to Amber who served our meal & again Jess. Both friendly & efficient a credit to the hotel.

Cannot fault this hotel or the staff in any way!
Exceptionally clean, friendly staff, decent food and extremely affordable. The toiletries were of a decent variety and lovely too.

After reading some rather horrifying reviews, I found myself looking for such faults. However, i didnt find a single one.

Will certainly return and use the hotel again if travelling in this area.

Not the best place to find.

It was fine, although not the best place to find if you don't know the area and it's dark. We missed the turning off the slip road and then couldn't turn around as we were on to a dual carriage way with no immediate roundabouts. It took us at least 15 miles out of our way. There needs to be a sign or make reference to what signs are there.
The other points to make are no mention was made about having to register for parking, or offer of a WiFi password.

Overall very good value for money

Staff were helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable. The cooked breakfast could have been better and also the coffee but overall very good value for money. My only gripe was the internet access which you can only access by filling in a form with a lot of personal details that you must agree can be used by others for marketing. There was no opt out option. So I decided to do without. I feel that internet access should not come with added price/conditions.

No main light in the room - only had lights in the bathroom & 2 small bedside lights so the room was really dark. There should have been a light above the mirror in the room but this didn’t work.
Main shower in the bathroom also didn’t work - had to use the smaller shower head.
Walls were paper thin - could hear someone in a neighbouring room snoring and then what sounded like choking & making the strangest noise all night which wasn’t very pleasant.
Plenty of towels & breakfast included which was nice.

Very disappointed with our stay this time . We have stayed here 5 times in the last 10 years and this time we really noticed the place is run down . Our room was quite grubby and mouldy in bathroom and above window in bedroom. The staff at the hotel are amazing very accomadating and hospitably can't fault the staff at all.
We had a 5 night stay and the housekeeping team didn't really want to oblidge us with cleaning our room we only asked for this once in the 5 nights. Not sure we would stay again would have to be convinced there have been major upgrades first

Where do I start!! The room was comfortable enough although apart from hanging space had no drawers for clothes etc. Then we were told when we went yo book an evening meal the restaurant was close due to no staff, but were reliably informed this would not affect breakfast. How wrong they were. 1 member of staff cooking, serving, clearing, answering the phone. So food was short waiting was long, all in all unhappy customers. This was then repeated the next day!!!
