Top Alton Water Hotel Reviews

easyHotel Ipswich

8/10 Good

"Everything you need, and nothing that you don't. Tiny, windowless room, tiny, but well designed shower room. If all you need is a comfortable bed for the night (we were attending a show at the Regent theatre, and going out afterwards) this is a good option when prices all around are high. 5-10 minutes walk from theatre, a Wetherspoon and nightlife. And steps away from cheap parking available on Your Parking Space. What's not to like?"

Best Western Ipswich Hotel
