After asking for assistance with an unpleasant drain smell in one room, the courteous staff moved me across the hall to an odourless room which made all the difference to my stay.

A little gem. The hotel was clean and modern. Nice bar and seating area. Rooms were super clean, modern and the bed comfortable with a crisp spotless white duvet. The staff were super-helpful and it was just a 5 min walk from the train station.

The hotel is well placed for public transport, a bit of a walk to town centre, around 15 mins. Set beside riverside so rooms on that aspect are nice and quiet. After asking for a quiet room I was given one that was exactly that. The bar is pleasant, good quality food well priced. Breakfast is excellent, lots of choices of cooked and cold selection. The staff are brilliant, helpful and accommodating, couldn’t ask for better than they were with me last night. As a solo traveller for work, the attitude of staff really helps! The local area doesn’t feel great but I think that’s probably time of year, dark evenings and mornings. I’m sure when days are longer and lighter it feels nicer! Will definitely be returning.

Great hotel and location
A very enjoyable overnight stay. The hotel was very clean throughout, and staff efficient and friendly. We missed the entrance and had to take a large detour before finding our way back, so if you are coming from the west via the A14, I recommend taking the street on the left hand side as soon as you see the Pentahotel sign, as there is no obvious signpost to the carpark. If you miss it, carry onto the train station on the right hand side and turn around there. Parking is limited and charged at £10 overnight. Depending on the time that you arrive / leave it may be cheaper to pay for parking by the hour (see tariff board outside) in this carpark. Breakfast was excellent, with a good choice for meat eaters and vegans. The hotel is 10 minutes walk from the Ipswich Town ground over the footbridge, and it is a regular choice for visiting teams. The town centre and train station are also easily walkable. Although there is a limited beer choice in the bar, it was comfortable and friendly, with a good choice of games (such as pool, air hockey and darts) available if required. They can also be avoided if you just want a quiet drink.

We arrived late after a long days travel, so when we got to the room, we weren't too concerned about the smell of cooked food that clearly came from the kitchen which was directly below us. We stayed in room 107. The next morning we woke early ro an even stronger smell of food coming from the kitchen below. As a result of our rooms location, we were so hot during the night and couldn't cool the room, either by opening the window, which we had done throughout the night, nor from the A/C, which seemed to be fixed at 22 degrees Celsius. Any attempt to lower the temperature was in vain. It was at this point that I should have asked to change rooms, but we had only one more night, so we took a chance...Big mistake. I went down to the car park to get something from my car, only to find that due to the very limited amount of parking spaces and the over zealous parking warden, we had a parking ticket. I had paid for two nights parking and wasn't able to use the car park. After returning from a day out we managed to find a space in the car park, although it wasn't in a designated bay, there was plenty of room to maneuver around us. As the day got later, more and more cars filled the car park, to the point of it being impossible to remove our car, even if we wanted to. At 5am we woke to the sound of loud banging from the kitchen.It woke our dog, who thought it was someone at our door. It persisted for 30 minutes until I complained at the Reception. It was a very unpleasant stay.

The good: The location. The reception / bar / dining area is nicely designed. I loved the activities in the bar area - pool, darts, space invaders, shuffle board. They're all free. Breakfast was very nice. All self service. The bad: It's a big hotel and there are only 25 car parkspaces. Some of which are very narrow. The room (Penta Plus) is basic. No wardrobe or drawer units. Just a tiny hanging rail and 2 small shelves.

I'll be back....
Designed to be slightly 'quirky' but with a friendly vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bedroom was a fair size, well decorated and maintained with a great shower and a comfortable bed. The area was quiet so I had a good nights sleep. The buffet breakfast was good with an excellent range of foods to choose from. The open plan bar area, and river terrace were very inviting to sit lounge around with drinks in the evening. An easy15 minute walk to the centre of towns with many restaurants to choose from. The only negative point was parking; the hotel carpark is small so I was forced to park some distance away....and I got a parking ticket in apart due to poor signage, and me not reading the signs correctly!!

Nice hotel but 2 guys at the reception in the morning put me off, ever so unhelpful and rude

All the limited parking spaces were taken when we arrived so had to park a good 5 mins walk away in an open air car park. Not great if you have much luggage. Check in was a bit slow seemingly due to some IT issues but the room was great. Good dinner in the bar but a bit expensive for what it was. Didn't have breakfast for this reason, rather driving to a nearby farm cafe. Would stay again as the location suits, the rooms are good and quiet.
