Ipswich Blackfriars 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."

"Helpful staff. Great location."

"Location very good"

"A very central location with easy access to the buses. It was a good place for the very light use I needed - sleeping and breakfast. Property generally as stated, there are two kitchen appliance panels and doors missing. The shower glass had not been cleaned and the left hand shower door was broken at the bottom. The shower was also very weak. However, I appreciated the toiletries. The polyester bottom sheet made for sweaty nights, but the bed was comfortable. No hot water that I could discover in the kitchen. Occasionally noisy neighbours downstairs and some weed smoking going on. It would be useful to have an electric socket near the dining table if working from the apartment."
