Very modern, clean rooms, and nice atmosphere. Only problem was staff. Mostly lack of. Had to wait a while because no one was there for checkin. After 10-15 min other (friendly) staffmember checked us in. Other minor issue was taxis. Staff wil not order them for you. You have to do this yourself. Although its not a problem i never had to do this in any hotel i’ve been to.

Disappointing

The hotel is tired with dirty carpets. The customer service at check in, reception and the bar were not very good. No expected added extras such as shower caps, water etc in the room. Stayed at Novotel in Leeds and it was lovely.

Liked: Staff & service
On arrival, we were given the wrong room. This was rectified however the room we were given had a terribly strong unpleasant smell. It came from the drainage. The hotel staff spray air freshener but this only masked the smell for a short anount of time. We were offered complimentary breakfast for our inconvenience. The size of our room was great and the staff did the best they could but overall the stay was very underwhelming. I will add that the staff at breakfast were particularly welcoming.

There are some great Positives about Novotel Ipswich. It’s nicely situated with the town centre (and restaurants) a short walk one way and the waterfront a short walk away the other way. The staff in the hotel are friendly and reception was welcoming. Cannot comment on the food as didn’t partake. Breakfast if pre-booked was £15.95 pp. there are options nearby instead. We had a room on the car park side of the hotel which, whilst not a great view, was at least quiet. The opposite side is by the inner ring road and may be noisy. The car park has signs indicating that it’s £20 per 24h to park. If staying don’t take any notice of that and instead pay at Reception £7 for 24h. Didn’t see any cheaper alternatives nearby. Room comfortable enough but my feeling was that it’s a borderline 4* and probably a high 3* as services and additions were limited. I found the guest WiFi poor in the room (3rd floor) and the TV

The quality was poor. An executive room was just a regular room. There was mold in the window. Staff was hard to come by and you end up waiting a while. The staff even messed up my food order. The drink order they tapped the keg dry, decided to replace it, and use the same half from the tapped keg glass to complete my order after stating it wasnt to quality and you cant have it. Only one elevator. No dog amenities and the information about dogs was unclear. You cant leave them alone in the room even if you assume liability and pay for a deposit.
