Top Ipswich Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Novotel Ipswich

Novotel Ipswich

8/10 Good
"Excellent service from all the staff we saw, room was clean tidy and had most of what you needed. Would have liked to see a couple of coat hooks in the room. The only thing that let it down was the very noisy air conditioning which was the loudest I had ever heard in any hotel room. Would also have been nice to have more milk/tea bags in the room rather than having to ask for more."
