Stayed here for a night while passing through. Initially attracted by the price which was a little cheaper than others in the area and I try to stay in pubs where possible rather than budget chain hotel type places. Found the whole experience to be really lovely. The room was basic, pretty much as I had expected but was clean throughout and had all the amenities I really needed: tea & coffee, towels, en-suite & shower. Couldn't ask for more really. Staff were friendly and welcoming as was the atmosphere in the bar below. No food available in the evening but there are plenty of places to eat nearby so you're really spoiled for choice. Breakfast was at 8:30 and a full English which was really tasty. It set me up for the day. If you need a simple bed in a warm, friendly environment you need look no further.

Nice, good price for centre stay .
Just a brief solo stay to attend show at The Apex. Which is a short walk away. Also close to shops etc. It was clean, comfortable & had what I needed no frills. It is pub so there was noise but no issues for me. Nice English Breakfast 8.30am only choice.

Would be great if you stayed here after a night out. The place was in a central location, staff were great, both Khrish and Chris , it was very clean in the room and bathroom Breakfast was ok. (one choice of time on Sunday 8:30 or 8:30, instant coffee and fry up) The reason for the low mark is:- I stayed there for somewhere to sleep but the single mattress was very poor quality so I had to sleep on the pillow also because it was a pub there were people outside my window talking laughing etc then management clearing up till 1am. Also a large Aircon or heating unit on the roof outside, rumbled on and off thoughout the night

I stayed in room 1: it is very compact but the bed was very comfortable and the room was just the right temperature. There was noise from a boiler I think but after a short while, I didn't notice it. The Full English breakfast was delicious. A great value place to stay!

Had a great 2 nights stay here room was big enough and clean. A little warm but there was a fan in the room. The pair running it had only been in there 6weeks so happy with the feedback. Pub very spit and sawdust but l like that not many left but was clean, well stocked bar and seating area was nice as warm evenings. Breakfast was fab both mornings. Will stay there again definitely ✨✨✨✨✨

I have stayed here many times and will continue to do so on my visits to friends and family in Bury St Edmunds. A special mention for Chris who has taken over the running of Westgate. He certainly enhanced the comfort and enjoyment of my weekend there; with his welcoming and most professional attitude to all his guests.

This property should be struck from any list that advertises stays. The room was no bigger than a broom cupboard and when we went to shower we discovered that there was no hot water. We obviously complained only to be told that they were having a new boiler installed and dint know when there would be any hot water. This had obviously been preplaned so any guests that were booked in should have been warned about this. We cancelled our booking and found other accommodation. This was without doubt the worst accommodation that we have ever come accross. AVOID
