Hotel Best Western Ipswich Hotel

Old London Road, Ipswich, IP8 3JD, United Kingdom –

Comfortable and clean room. Bar and restaurant available with a decent menu at reasonable prices. Plenty of parking available.

Peter, United Kingdom

Lovely setting with nice garden to have a drink in. Reception staff friendly and cheerful. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety to suit everybody's taste.

Janet, United Kingdom

Great value for money, room was big, bed was comfortable, the guy from reception friendly

Dragos, United Kingdom

Really friendly staff, comfortable room and great location for purpose of trip.

Spedeweekend, United Kingdom

The Wolsey Restaurant (Hotel Restaurant); good choices on the menu, great prices and lovely food. Recommend the 10oz ribeye steak, salmon fillet and the classic lemon posset. The staff are all very helpful and pleasant. We were offered a free drink (tea or coffee) at the bar as we arrived early for check in. The Reception Manager went above and beyond when I complained about the room we were allocated. Thanks to her quick thinking and ability to rectify the problem. The hotel will now have some more frequent travellers to Ipswich returning to stay. The refurbished rooms are definitely 4-5 stars. Worth what I paid for the stay.

Carolyn, United Kingdom

Very impressed by this hotel. Glad Best Western have taken it over. our room was a very good standard. obviously newly refurbished. Loved the proper ironing board & a good iron. Plenty of towels & toiletries. Food great. All staff were excellent went the 'extra mile' which we appreciate being on the road a lot.

Patricia, United Kingdom

Brilliant hotel in a quiet location just outside Ipswich. Lovely comfortable rooms.

Amanda, United Kingdom

Very quiet location - no traffic noise. Very obliging staff.

Roger, United Kingdom

Lovely new refurbished rooms lovely breakfast freshly cooked like that you can room charge your drinks from the bar

Stephen, United Kingdom

I have stayed in this hotel several times over the years, but it had become stale with staff that didn't care and out dated décor. It is now trying to regain its old zest. Wi-Fi was excellent and the room comfort and staff were great. Breakfast was ideal and quickly served. The new rooms can only assist the hotel in reviving its fortunes. Well done.

“Not a great experience”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Despite specifically asking to be put in to a more modern room, I was in the far end of the hotel in rooms that saw their best days pass them by at least 15 years ago. Elements of the bathroom were rusty. The bed was far from luxurious and the television had a line of dead pixels. There were only 3 plugs in the whole room with lamps and clocks plugged into them so I had to unplug the TV and clock to work on my laptop and charge my phone. Not ideal. When I asked at reception why I was down in that room and not in one of the other newer ones, I was told to go onto Booking.com and see as they just did as they were told and the rooms were the same price. If there are nicer rooms available, and at the same cost, why would you put people in the worse rooms?
The hotel was quiet and well placed for travel. Decent price. Staff in the bar were very friendly and the food was good.

Couldn't really fault the visit May be more teabags in the room.
We were lucky to be given an upgraded room. The rooms were fantastic, furniture is lovey and tastefully decorated. Rooms were the right temperature. In room facilities, tv, tea/coffee etc.. were excellent, although perhaps a few more teabags as standard. Ate dinner in the restaurant and the menu has significantly been updated since the last stay which was very welcome. Both dinner and breakfast were very good, sufficient and hot.

We were unable to reduce the shower water temperature as the controller was not working. So it was permanently hot and so we couldn’t use it for long.
Nice hotel with friendly staff and well furnished rooms.

The internet wasn't available it kept disconnected from my room, the self service breakfast was poor as I asked for well done egg and they took a cooked egg on the display plate and just cooked it longer. There was a door that lead to a next room in my room . I was worried the loud guy next door would walk into my room.The toilet wasn't clean. All and all it was a terrible experience I won't be coming back.
