Relaxing stay.

Yet another lovely stay.Good to see the new owners renovating and upgrading the hotel. The installation of a new accessible toilet is very good to see. It would be nice to see some re-cycling facilities, rather than all rubbish going in the same bins in rooms.
Caroline, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Huge improvement

This hotel is definitely on its way up again, we had a lovely stay
Johanna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Old elegant charm with contemporary refinements.

This hotel has all the character and history of a large old traditional hotel, but with a programme of constant upgrades. So the ensuite bathroom was magnificent. The bar, lounge, library and dining room had great luxurious character and we loved the outside palm tree area for drinking and relaxing
Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was a lovely period hotel. It was classy but its under refurbishment and the workers started about half 7 and you could hear them.

Another good value stay in the heart of Felixstowe

One night stay in one of the refurbished double rooms, room was well finished and a good size with a good shower in the bathroom and modern illuminated mirror. Beds were comfortable and the room was supplied with a fan, tea, coffee, biscuits and bottled water provided in the room but it would benefit from a kettle that removes from the base so you do not have to unplug from under the table every time. There was an extractor outlet by the window which started up at about 6:30 in preparation for breakfast, maybe an issue for some but did not bother us, view from the room was limited to the roof area but again this was not a problem for us. Breakfast was an improvement on our last stay as the Bain Marie heaters were working under the food which kept it hotter, there was as always a good hot buffet breakfast selection and a continental selection also, good value for money, ample free car parking and staff were as previously very efficient and helpful.

Check-in was easy (despite having completed online form beforehand). Room comfortable although bed mattress was far too soft for my liking.

Loved this old hotel. Staff great, public areas surprisingly grand, in good nick and very comfortable. Top of high street & short walk to beach. Nothing to complain about.
Lawrence, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value

The Hotel and restaurant appeared to be in a period of transition during our stay. It feels like a once grand hotel that had been allowed to slide somewhat and is now on a path to recovery. It is incredibly cheap for what you get Our room was lovely, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The en suite bathroom was lovely, although the wait for hot water to come through was considerable, as is often the case with hotels of this vintage. The bed was comfortable with extra pillows etc available in the wardrobe if required. There were no bedside plugs/charging points which would have been useful. We didn't eat at the hotel, although the menu looked reasonable. We had a couple of drinks in the bar, there was a wait for me service as the bar staff were also covering other duties, but the bar was well stocked and reasonably priced. I'd certainly return in the future.

Great location, easy to park onsite, short walk to town centre & beach. Clean rooms & very helpful and friendly staff.

Hotel is in need of some renovation but seems they are doing that. Price reflects so good hotel for the money
matt, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great hotel, poor hotel.com booking

This would of had a higher score accept when we went to check in, the room we had paid for wasnt available and we had a lower grade room which wasnt great. The hotel couldnt apologise enough and had said that hotels.com hadnt specified the room type when the booking came through. As you can imagine i wasnt impressed when it had been booked since march. I will be raising this with hotels.com but the hotel itself was great and the service was fabulous
laura, 1-night trip

An enjoyable stay - hotel clearly mid renovation and some rooms in much better shape than others. Great, convenient location for town and a wander to the beach . Would love to stay again in a few months time once renovations are complete.
Vicky, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice hotel in general. Has a good car park my room was good. It could do with modernising as my room was outdated, but it was a very big room and a comfy bed.
Thomas, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

First room offered was thick of stale cigar smells. I refused the room and was told no other room was available. I still refused it and another room was reluctantly provided. Staff were not attentive unhil I complained. Hotel was ok, but nothing special.

The property was undergoing a refurbishment during our visit so I can see that there will be improvements to the decor in the future, the room I stayed in 125 was in great condition and seemed to be one of the newer rooms, there was no evening dining on site during our stay due to kitchen refitting, we were provided with plates and cutlery for our takeaway, the staff were always attentive and helpful during our stay so I would return to the hotel in the future if in the area and would like to see the hotel after the refurbishment.
