Top Alton Water Hotel Reviews

Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Pristine"

Bridge Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place to stay! Friendly and welcoming, warm, really well equipped and comfortable with everything needed. Walking distance from most places in Ipswich and a good car park."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Lady in red who checked me in ( twice now ) is amazing member off staff! Informed me off party that night. Room was requested and given which is large and roomy . Look forward to going back"
