I had a rather mixed experience at The Station Hotel in Ipswich. While the staff were friendly and food was decent, my room was in disrepair with a strong smell of smoke and cleanliness issues. The shared bathroom situation was less than ideal, which dampened my stay overall.

Rooms

5.0

My room was spacious but shabby, with a wafer-thin mattress and a strong smoke smell (definitely not a no smoking room as advertised). The shared bathroom was also filthy, which was quite disappointing.

Service

6.0

The staff were generally attentive and helpful despite some chaos during check-in, as the team member seemed new and the process took longer than expected.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location was decent but a bit out of the way for what I needed—it took me about 40 minutes to walk to my venue, which was not ideal.

Dining

7.0

I enjoyed the food, particularly the Blue Station burger, which was quite substantial. Service was good as my meal arrived quickly.

Facilities

5.0

While the hotel offered some facilities, I encountered issues like a blocked sink and a lack of towels in my room. These aspects definitely need attention.

My stay at The Station Hotel was disappointing, to say the least. The check-in process was confusing, staff seemed disinterested, and the room conditions were unacceptable. The stay was marred by an overwhelming smell of damp and poorly maintained facilities. I wouldn't consider returning.

Rooms

The room had an overwhelming smell of damp, plaster was falling off the ceiling, and there were cobwebs everywhere. The sheets were not clean, and the towels were damp.

Service

5.0

Staff were not friendly and seemed confused when showing us to our room. No staff were present after check-in, which added to the lack of support during my stay.

Location

5.0

The hotel is the designated pub for away fans visiting Ipswich, which might make it more lively, but it’s best to avoid booking on football days due to early closures.

Dining

5.0

I encountered significant issues with the dining options. They ran out of pies on pie night, and my flatbread order was missing key ingredients, which made for a disappointing meal.

Facilities

5.0

There seemed to be a lack of basic provisions, like clean towels and properly functioning doors. The overall state of maintenance was poor, which affected my comfort.

My stay at The Station Hotel in Ipswich was pretty disappointing. The check-in process was confusing, and the rooms had some major issues. On the bright side, the breakfast was well-liked, but overall, I wouldn’t recommend it until they address these problems.

Rooms

Room 14 had multiple issues, including a broken wardrobe door and a bathroom ceiling in disrepair. Room 9's shower didn't work either, which was a huge letdown.
