One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The room was fantastic, the food was amazing and the staff were so wonderful they made our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for this hotel. They made you feel so welcome you were like family. The room we were in was quiet, very spacious and had a bed so lovely I slept through the night, every night for the five days we were there. That is very unusual for me. Plenty of choice on the menu whatever your taste.

Great price for a great place. Our room was spotless. The reception is at the restaurant, so be sure to get what you want before they close at 11pm.

The hotel is just on the outskirts of Ipswich. The staff are very welcoming, and extremely helpful. The rooms are of a good size and very clean. The housekeeping staff cleaned our room every morning after we had gone out, which was excellent. The restaurant food is of a very high standard and there is a good choice including vegetarian options. In the bar area where it is of a relaxed nature, you can order food from the bar menu or the restaurant menu. Either way, nothing is ever too much trouble. The swimming pool, sauna and steam room are a must. My husband used the gym which was of an average size and then would come down to the pool area for a jacuzzi. Although they have the spa treatment available, I can't really comment as I didn't use the facility. If you want a relaxing time or want to visit the seaside, Felixstowe is only a 30minute drive away. There are also many National Trust houses to visit. This the second time we have been to the Belstead Hotel and I can honestly say we will be visiting it again.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this establishment but everything was terrific. Travelling on a great value two month 1st class Eurailpass, I arrived by Greater Anglia train punctual to the minute and walked 150 metres. The pleasant lady owner stored my case. Arriving back at 1900 on a Friday night, the bar was humming. I enjoyed a delicious seafood platter, although it lacked large prawns as I am used to in Australia and Philippines. It had a good amount of salad. Food has improved in England from my first visit 30 tears ago when dining was poor. The accommodation is not suitable for the disabled as stairs are steep. The room was spacious and delightful with the feminine touch evident in the bee theme even on the doona cover. There were two chairs, classy furniture, excellent lighting and a TV. Lamps were trendy. No aircon so on a 29 degree day the room might be stuffy. A wide range of breakfast items were supplied including yoghurt. Some were in the fridge in the corridor. The bathroom also had great shower gel and shampoo plus even cotton ear buds. Shower pressure was reasonable and hot water sufficient. Towels were good but no bathmat. One mosquito greeted me at dawn. It was dealt with. There was some intruding light early evening as no blackout curtains in the bathroom or to the side of the bed. Great to see the intermodal Freightliner and GBRailFreight trains belting through Westerfield, keeping trucks with their cowboy drivers off the congested roads. The owners here have done a great job with the hotel that at GBP60 was great value.

I only went to the hotel as I had missed my train and had an hour to wait for the next one. Straight over the road from the station, really convenient. Staff I meet very friendly, bar well presented and food lovely. I had a drink and loaded chips with sweet n sour chicken n prawn crackers on top. Food was lovely and warm and looked and smelled appetising. Certainly was all of these things. They also do rooms here but I only popped in while waiting on next train.

I have been looking at hotels with my father for a while, and found this hotel to be the best bang for the buck when it comes to location and facilities. Staff was absolutely professional and especially Heather was incredibly helpful when it came to suggestions for places to eat and leisure. Will absolutely stay again and can't wait to see what this place has more to offer

I have lost count how many times i have stayed at the Novotel Ipswich over the past 2 years, but i had not been for 6 months. Nothing has changed, which is good as the hotel is very well located in Ipswich town centre for local pubs, restaurants and the nearby marina. The staff are very helpful and polite and the rooms are always of a high standard. My only gripe is the wi-fi is always hit and miss.

Everything is fine! The room is not air-conditioned, and the bathroom design and ventilation are problematic. The room is large, there is free parking, and there are major supermarkets, restaurants and convenience stores nearby.

wij verbleven hier 1 nacht, vanaf de boot op onze auto doorreis door Engeland. We waren dus met eigen auto die we op het eigen terrein kwijt konden, erg fijn dus. De kamer was schoon, netjes en fris, met eigen toilet en douche, en niks op aan te merken. Alle waar naar zijn geld. Er was geen ontbijt, wat we wisten, maar er zit een Wetherspoon dicht bij, voor ons was dat prima. We werden heel gastvrij ontvangen door de heer Hussain, die ons van alles vertelde over de stad. De locatie ligt op loop afstand van het station, en is een prima locatie voor voetbal toeristen die een wedstrijd van Ipswich Town willen bij wonen, want het Portman Road stadion ligt op vijf minuten lopen. Voor ons zou Bridge Guest House zeker een t****e bezoek waard zijn.
