The Orwell Hotel  

Made welcome from the moment we entered the hotel, the car park was near the entrance and the room was warm and cosy. Dining is exquisite. The Location is ideal for the Beach and it is a short 5 minutes walk to the shops.

The shower was poor due to low water pressure.

close postion to town and sea front. lived the furnishings and decor with the grand staircase. Absolutely delicious evening meal.

Couldn' adjust radiator in our room.

Stay was good, staff friendly, room clean, breakfast good, good value

I notice above you offer "Gourmet", as a standard. I would say that is probably over the top in describing the food at the Orwell Hotel, - though the food they offered was to a high standard and was greatly enjoyed by my wife and myself. The Station was on the opposite side of the road, yet we never heard any trains, and likewise bus stops were only a few paces walk away. The main shopping area was genuinely less than a 10 minute stroll away. All in all a place we would be happy to return to again.

Nothing we honestly didn't like. We did though make a suggestion to reception that they might like to have a copy of the days weather forcast available on reception, which can be easily downloaded from the Internet.

Difficulty in sleeping because of noise from loud music into early hours.

F riendly, quiet, excellent value. Shall be back!

The staff are so friendly and the hotel is really comfortable. I would travel 500 miles for an Orwell traditional English breakfast. They are delicious.

Altho the hotel is so friendly and has a fantastic decor with a number of lounges, reading rooms and a great bar and surroundings the shower in my room was useless. No matter which way the tap was turned the water temperature remained constant, ie, scalding hot! I would mark this as one of the hotel's 'quaint' features. But I would go back tomorrow. Thank you Elizabeth Orwell.

Very elegant hotel, very clean, pleasant enviroment, peacefull would recommend it to anyone can't go wrong

the room we had was like a lorry was parked beneath the window with it's motor running.

Food was fantastic, service in the dining room second to none. Well looked after by Erika. Great atmosphere, old world but comfortable.

Could not close/latch the bedroom window in 201 Shower head was in need of replacement Not enough pillows Duty Manager while helpful was not aware/knew much about Felixstowe (to give directions to the hotel & about what was on in town)

It's right in the middle of town.

The rooms need to be refurbished and the pillows in paricular as so old they are very uncomfortable to lie on. The bathroom facilities weren't much better with a shower that dripped rather than flowed. We won't be going back.

This was our second visit, so the plus points outweigh the minus points. Both times they tried to overcharge us for a one night stay, first time it was a Bar bill we didn't create, this time it was a £221.29 for telephone calls, we had not made any. My advice is check you bill thoroughly.
