The Carlton Hotel  

The breakfast was good, the service was friendly.

It was very basic, most rooms are shared bathroom however this is not stated on booking.com. Extra tenner for a room with a cupboard bathroom with tacky blue lighting. The room was very small and the tv didn't work. However friendly staff came and fixed it. The halls on the way to the rooms were cluttered and the storerooms were overflowing with rubbish on the floor. Did not make a good impression, would probably book elsewhere next time.

The man at the desk was friendly and courteous.

Very cold. There was an ancient radiator that didn't give any heat. Generally tatty, in need of updating. The bed wasn't comfortable with thin bed covers. Though the rate wasn't high, it still offered very poor value for money compared to other places I've stayed in in the Ipswich area.

excellent breakfasts helpfull staff

basic cleaning is fine - but curtains and furnishings need new life. parking very tight

Location near city centre

There was nothing to like, it was horrible

The Carlton Hotel is centrally located in Ipswich. The staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming. The rooms are small and basis. Although 'Tea and Coffee' making facilities are advertised, there were only tea bags. No coffee! Neither was there any soap in the room. On the positive side, the cooked English breakfast was exceptional. Better than many 5 star hotels. All, in all, The Carlton Hotel represents good value for money. The negatives, such as the missing coffee and soap would only cost the management pennies to provide and these can mean so much to the guests.

No coffee or soap in the room.

Good price quality ratio

Ideal location for travelling away football fans

Staff are very nice and breakfast is very good however for comfort of the beds an the room it should be alot cheaper... Luckerly we only stayed one night as I didnt want to shower there

Very friendly, right in town , lovely breakfast

Very friendly staff.

The food was reasonable but could easily be improved.

The room was dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke. The bathroom had been cleaned with a dirty mop leaving a strong stale odour in the room. Clearly no time has been put into training or checking work standards of the cleaners.The decor was tired and dirty and in need of refreshment. On the whole this was a dreadful place to stay.
