B&B HOTEL Ipswich

B&B HOTEL Ipswich

10/10 Excellent
"Always stay here when Ipswich area - business and family, this latest stay being the latter. 2 x rooms x 2 nights. 5* overall as a stay however, whereas normally I’m full of praise for staff, this stay felt different. Welcome was perfunctory at best but probably better described as less than friendly. Only one member of staff hit the usual high standards. I did mention to her and she explained that the chap who was particularly miserable doesn’t usually work days and does nights instead. One of his colleagues was equally miserable. My suggestion is that the management team work hard to ensure consistency. It’s nice to feel welcome."

"This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The spa is great & spa therapists super helpful. What makes this place are the staff running the restaurants & bar. Lead by their brilliant Maitre D Francis, these young people work like trojans but always have the time to make their customers feel special. This isn’t fake friendliness, they are genuinely interested & super helpful. There could probably be more of them at busy times but they handle the pressure with grace & class. Special shout out for Francis, Lenny, Hattie & Elliot. You made our relaxing weekend with your warmth and professionalism. Food is great too! We had the best time. We might opt for a larger room next time though. Overall wonderful experience made by the very hard working staff."

"Great stopover, the hallway was quite noisy especially in the morning with doors banging, but that was more to do with other guests then the hotel. Also the rooms overlooking Yarmouth Road, had quite alot of traffic noise, so would recommend sleeping with the Air con on or requesting a room on the other side of the complex"

"We enjoyed a one-night stay with our dogs, who were made to feel welcome straight away. Water bowls for furry friends are placed all over the premises. The weather was warm & because our room was first floor, it was a warm bedroom so we were grateful for the fan provided. Although the window of our room overlooked the main road, we slept with the window open & this was fine, as it’s such a quiet area. Check-in was efficient; the receptionist was very polite & helpful. We had some lovely teas, coffee & biscuits in the room. Unfortunately, the sink & bath taps were both problematic. The cold tap in the sink ran hot, unless you left it running for ages, after which it eventually ran cold. The hot tap in the sink was scalding hot. I’m 5’7” & was unable to stand under the shower head over the bath, I had to stoop to fit under it. The bath taps were also very sensitive, in that a minor turn in one direction turned the hot water from tepid to scalding. So there’s a clear problem with plumbing, which we reported. There was a wide choice for breakfast, but the restaurant was very busy with few waiting staff who were run off their feet. So when I asked for a flat white, I was told they could only serve this after breakfast finished at 10am; they were too busy before then. The only coffee served at breakfast was filter. We both chose avocado & poached eggs on sourdough. The toast had no butter, which meant that the bread was disappointingly tough. Overall, a lovely place to stay"
