Mike M. Couples - 7/20/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Our stay was once again very enjoyable and comfortable made even better by the exceptional reception staff of Jordan and his team. We always receive a very enthusiastic welcome following our sometimes laboured trip up from London. It is so joyous to arrive and be greeted so well and made to feel 'at home'. All the staff either in the bar, restaurant and housekeeping are very friendly and ooze customer service which makes for a very pleasant stay. The Novotel has recently upgraded their rooms which are very serviceable and comfortable. The central position of the hotel in Ipswich with its own car park, means that is great for visiting the town, docks and as a base for going further afield to the Constable Country or the Suffolk coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold.

Dear Mike, Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience at Novotel Ipswich Centre. We are delighted to hear that your stay was once again both comfortable and enjoyable. It is particularly gratifying to know that our reception team, led by Jordan, provided you with a warm welcome after your journey from London. We strive to create a home-like atmosphere for our guests, and it is wonderful to hear that you felt at home during your visit. We also appreciate your kind words regarding our staff across various departments. Exceptional customer service is a cornerstone of our hospitality, and it is rewarding to know that our team's efforts contributed to your pleasant stay. Furthermore, we are pleased that you found our recently upgraded rooms comfortable and suitable for your needs. Our central location does indeed offer great convenience for exploring Ipswich and the beautiful surrounding areas. We thank you once again for your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards, Susan Feek
