A warm and friendly welcoming. The hotel is situated in a good location in the town centre and the takeaway breakfast was a nice touch. However the bed was not comfortable and I did not sleep well. It was a windy night and the windows were rattling which woke me up and kept me awake. The property is a bit dated and could do with an upgrade.

Upgraded to a refurbed room but a twin, the double was freezing so no choice really but it was free and a much nice room. The window had a gap and on a road so not the quietest or warmest, the shower was cold and they served turkey rashes instead of bacon for breakfast, beef sausages fine but come on. The staff are great and the hotel is clean. Overall it was ok, I won’t stay again though sorry

I rarely review but I have to say that the room was extremely comfortable and modern in design. Parking was a little limited but I managed OK. Didn't make breakfast as I was away too early. Great welcome from the manager though and you could tell there was great attention to detail overall - it's the little things that matter. I would definately aim to stay here again when next in the area.

Disappointing stay. Hotel needs a lot of upgrading. Room very tired. Wardrobe with door removed electric heater insufficient. Ensuite grimy and cold shower mucky. Bedding old with blankets. Tv tiny and very old. Breakfast called english in advertiding but was Halal and only available till 8.30am. First floor bathroom door open with a redident relieving himself. Not a good experience.

A very welcoming hotel

We came to Ipswich to visit The Suffolk Show. We were made to feel very welcome at The Carlton, unable to fault the breakfast it was lovely and we have never had better. We were on the 2nd floor and as I am not very agile I found the steep narrow staircase rather challenging but manageable. We would stay again. A real bargain price too.
