Salthouse Harbour Hotel - Ipswich

Hotellet er et ombygget varehus på kai kanten i Ipswich havn. Lastebåter er byttet ut med seilbåter og andre lystbåter som den indre havnen er full av. Vi ankom hotellet tidlig formiddag før rom var tilgjengelig. Da vi skulle besøke familie på dagtid og hadde ikke noe akutt rom behov, ba jeg resepsjonisten finne et rom med utsikt over havnen hvis det […] var mulig. Rommet vi ble tildelt da vi returnerte til hotellet var meget tiltalende i rustikk stil og med utsikt over havnen som vi ønsket. Ytterveggene var kledd med murstein, noe som var med på å gjøre rommet ”varmt” og koselig. Møblene var tilpasset rommets stil, sengen og madrasser var av førsteklasses kvalitet og vi ville gjerne tilbrakt flere dager på dette vidunderlige hotell. Restauranten på hotellet hadde vi lest var verd et besøk, den var dessverre fullbestilt tidlig kveld og da vi ikke ønsket å spise sen middag var restaurantbåten Mariner som lå fortøyd 100 meter fra hotellet et godt alternativ. Frokosten før avreise ble servert i hotellets restaurant. Her kunne gjester bestille forskjellige alternativ fra egen frokost meny og laget a la minute. I mitt yrkesaktive liv innen reiseliv, har jeg overnattet på mange fine hoteller rundt om i verden. Salthouse Harbour Hotel var et hotell helt etter min smak, hjemmekoselig atmosfære, hyggelig betjening og flott beliggenhet, et hotell jeg kan anbefale. Hvis jeg skal komme med forbedringspotensial, anbefaler jeg hotellet å vurdere å installere hånd dusj i badekaret. Dusjen i badet (karet) var høyt på veggen – og ønsker man ikke å vaske håret hver gang man dusjer har man en utfordring. Å skylle vekk såpe fra enkelte steder på kroppen er heller ikke lett. Les mer

excellent hotel position for ipswich town centre and museums. The only 1 complaint was the very noisy air condition unit in the room, even when turned off it still made a very loud noise,

The restaurant downstairs and the one next door are very noisy and you don't want to be in a room facing that. No air conditioning. But very nice room!

This is my 6th stay at the Salthouse Harbour and saw me returning to the 1st room I stayed in, 408. I arrived after 9pm and was welcomed with the usual cheerful reception staff. Asked for a room service sandwich which arrived in under 20 minutes. Room 408 overlooks the marina and is well laid out with a huge bed, a writing desk and a chair and table […] in front of the window. The bathroom is spacious with both a bath and a separate large walk in shower. Toiletries are plentiful and good quality. I had room service breakfast the next morning and having ordered the Suffolk breakfast struggled to get through it. This comes with the usual sausages, egg (you select poached, fried or scrambled), bacon and mushrooms. Plus a basket of toast and pastries. There's a good selection of in room tea and coffee sachets along with a kettle and 2 complimentary bottles of water. No mini-bar or aircon in the room but opening windows and as it's in a relatively quiet part of Ipswich with only occassiona passing cars, I slept really well. There is a bar next door but this closed around 11. Love the hotel and looking forward to my next visit. Les mer

I stay away on business frequently and the Salthouse Harbour has to rate as one of the best hotels I've stayed in in many years (well for business anyway)! The hotel staff are attentive and helpful and as ane example, on my fourth stay in as many weeks, I asked to move rooms as my room was over the restaurant which was noisy that night. Having used […] the facilities and had room service delivered to my room, I expected s battle. But no, the receptionist not only agreed to move me without question, but found me a lovely room overlooking the marina. The breakfast is fantastic and you can really indulge in the freshly prepared cooked breakfast ranging from a traditional Suffolk to a continental all served at your table or in your room. No dried out bits of bacon a buffet here! I have only had room service in the evening but the restuarant looks great and is very popular. The only negative is that some of the rooms do suffer from noise more than others. All in all, a great quality hotel offering more than your averahe chain hotel in Ipswich. Les mer

Funky artwork, industrial scultures, eye-catching touches abound at the Salthouse in the public spaces. Let down a little by needing a lick of paint in the room, and clean grout in the shower. But otherwise a fun place to stay in an interesting area.

Great room, great restaurant. You'd be foolish not to stay here if you have to stay in Ipswich
