We used this hotel as a stop over before we took the ferry to Holland, it was much further away from the ferry port than we thought though! Anyway, it was a lovely, clean hotel with a comfortable double room. The staff were helpful & polite. There was a wedding going on the same day & the atmosphere was really... More

Two night stay on business and as many say it's best described as tired. However I would say that I sensed a little sense of aspiration for improvement, but it will require some hard work. Bar and dining area need replanting and are not relaxing in the slightest. Morning breakfast is not great. I had to get up and ask... More

What a shock, if it was not for the lights being on, it would look derelict, paint peeling, both room brass had hardly any chrome left, generally in need of a lot of love At night most residents, me included, went out to eat as menu very expensive for very basic food Would not stay again

Stayed overnight, room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly We ate in the hotel but the menu was basic although the food was good. Sky - ESPN was not working and they didn't know why, not pleasing as we wanted to watch the FA CUp Semi Final. WiFi does not come as part of the overnight stay and they... More

We booked for 3 to stay at the Holiday Inn Ipswich Orwell on line and arrived to find the room was basically a double room with a roll out bed pushed in between the double bed and the window. The roll out bed was so close to the double you had to squeeze to get past and one 4 occasions... More

We stayed overnight on our way to a family funeral and were pleasantly surprised at the value. The room was clean and tidy, though I would have liked more than two tea bags as I am not a coffee drinker. Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. We would certainly stay here again.

This is our third stay here and have no complaints. Bed is very comfortable and the hotel is quiet and easy to find.Only negative if I was pushed is the restaurant service can be a bit slow. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful.

I've used several venues in Suffolk for casual business meetings. For the first time I used the Holiday Inn, Ipswich Orwell to meet with someone regarding business. I feel compelled to commend the member of staff working on the bar. I believe her name was Ali / Alison. She was exceptionally friendly with a warm welcome and a credit to... More

I was staying at the Premier Inn over the road but was a day delegate for a training course at The Holiday Inn and also returned to the restaurant in the evening. Conference facilities: excellent. We had all we needed and the staff were only too happy to help. Restaurant: really varied food, delicious salads. The service was excellent, I... More
