Hotell nära Portman Road

“Väldigt trångt. Bodde i ett tvåbäddsrum och mellan sängarna var det kanske 30 cm, och mellan sång och vägg kanske 20. Störst golvyta var det direkt innanför dörren utanför toan så där fick resväskorna stå. Vilket innebar att även den golvytan blev såpass liten att dörrarna ej gick att öppna helt. Inga bäddmadrasser på resårbotten, funkade bättre än väntat men kan vara bra att veta. Städning på begäran (kostar £10). Ett basichotell där man i stort sett bara sover, men de lovar inget mer heller....

“Good service ”

“Looks like it has recently been redecorated, simple and pleasant style. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast items available to help yourself if leaving before official breakfast time. I’ll be staying again ”

“Lovely hosts and a very generous cooked breakfast with quality ingredients and big pot of tea plus lots of toast! Room was very spacious and comfortable with a balcony for warmer weather - lovely views to the other side. Decor is somewhat dated and bathroom could do with update but everything scrupulously clean, loads of hot water and everything very comfortable. Could not have asked for more.”

“The Gatehouse is amazing and the rooms 5 star. The receptionist was amazing pick us up and drop us off after lovely meal and drinks. Restaurant The restaurant staff were lovely and it was an extremely busy night for them. Starter was selection of cooked meats and wafers on wood board. Had steak with chunky fries and the sauce was amazing. Overall the food was star of the show. The lounge was quiet and classy the bar manager was a class act and great professional presence. ”

“Lovely rooms, especially the very comfortable armchairs.”

“Rummet kändes inte speciellt fräscht. Ingen god doft. Täcket/lakanet doftade inte nytvättat, örngotten likaså. Kuddarna var hårda.”

“Visually the place makes a very good impact. Dinner, the food was excellent as were the staff. Breakfast … we’d booked it at check in. We turned up to breakfast and there was nothing booked , the service at breakfast was okay , we did have to case up something. But overall we had a very good stay and would return.”

“Lovely room with lots of space. Staff were really friendly. Room was comfortable and clean. Nice to have breakfast included.”

“This was a wonderful experience, very friendly staff who were always ready to help, offering glasses of chilled water in the spacious and well-furnished public rooms and alcohol in the evenings. We stayed in the large Shakespeare room, often used as a Bridal Suite. The spa is great, with a good sized pool, a jacuzzi and unusual sauna. Really good breakfasts served in bedrooms and at the nearby sister-hotel Milsoms. The fine dining at the main restaurant on the nearby River Stour was sublime,...

“A lovely hotel. Very professional- suitable for business stays - but also lovely family vibe. Customer care is particularly strong. ”
