Ipswich Cardinal Park Hotels

"It's clean and cheap, perfectly good for a one-night stay. Tiny room with barely enough room to walk around the bed. Funky hooks but no real storage. I've stayed here a couple of times before and I know what to expect. My main gripe on this occasion was how an overnight fire alarm was dealt with. We all traipsed downstairs when the alarm went off, the member of staff on duty told us it was ok, we could all go back to bed but the alarm might go off again. He explained that there was someone live streaming themself "messing around with fire" in their room. Security were in the process of tracking them down and chucking them out. I have no idea what kind of "messing around with fire" we're talking about here, but to me that is not a circumstance in which guests should be sent back to bed and encouraged to ignore the alarm."

"Hotel and staff are fab this is my 3rd stay within months and it’s now a firm fav, what makes this hotel is the nice clean rooms but mostly the brilliant staff they cannot do enough for you, they treat you like a friend, polite cheery and knowledgeable. The brekkie is a buffet style vegan sausages to order should you want them, scrambled eggs mushrooms sausages bacon beans hash browns and hot porridge, lots of cold foods and the bread selection is great. Just what you need to start the day. Easy to have food delivered in from local shops should you need too but the food in the hotel for evening meal is nice and fairly priced."

"Lovely location and beautiful interior. Bar and restaurant food and staff very good. Room was spacious clean and comfortable for a std double. Secure parking within the harbour just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Very good value for money and would definitely recommend and stay here again."

"The picture displayed was not how this property was. Perfect location for what we needed but the property hadn’t had a decent clean.. dust on various sections. All carpets need replacing - in a shocking state. There were 4 false widow spiders in the top room - these were inside the property!!… we killed two but others impossible to catch. I slept on the sofa on the last eve not wanting to get nasty bite. No plug in middle sink, no working olug in kitchen sink. The bathrooms were well decorated and relatively new and it was clear the property was part of a renovation. In time it could look brilliant. The bath mat was mouldy. The firearm was bleeping on arrival but the landlord Michael was very attentive and sent someone around to disconnect it. This wasn’t replaced, but we did have two working alarms on the other floors. The car parking was great. I was expecting the picture above… a picture of the exact property should be visible. I would stay again if it was cleaner and carpets replaced. Certainly the attic room needs spider intervention. The blind in the attic room didn’t work, pole had broken off, you couldnt darken the room. You will see from the picture on the living room that it’s wasn’t the advertised room looking at the sofa. "
