Great location for the beach areas. The hotel smells as did the room of dirty drains. Be careful about the car park, you must register your car yourself or you will be fined as we witnessed someone who had a £100 fine. Our booking emails clearly document an 11 o’clock check out but house keeping were trying to get into our room at 10am. They said check out had changed and was 10am. It took 20minutes to check out as the manger was having an argument with someone at the front desk. The area opposite the front desk was used as a doss hole, someone had bedded down and was sleeping on a couch and the area smelt- not a very good look for the hotel. This hotel has a stunning potential under what is a shabbily run place. It does deserve better and could be a fantastic destination to visit and enjoy. Sort out the shabby decoration, respect customers and provide clarity of the hotel’s procedures, don’t let a main area be used for a doss hole that looks like a street corner, improve the smell in the place and be proud to have your hotel in Suffolk. The desk manger should not be so smug, learn how to handle complaints and resolve them with adult style. There are ways to deal with unhappy comments and these should be learnt.

I have known The Orwell for the last fifty years and find it sad that it has gone down hill. Lack of staff and attention to service is noticeable. Badly in need of redecoration and a spring clean. Light bulbs need replacing. Would be good to see the reinstating of real table service in the dining room.

The Orwell unfortunately is rundown, and is in desperate need of a refurbishment. 40 years ago it was lovely. I'm giving it a 3 only because of the staff would were very good, not the hotel. Our room (124) overlooked the hotel garbage bins, dirty carpet, old mattresses (you could feel the coils), dirty cracked bathroom tiles, paint peeling from tub surrounding, and worse yet was the shower (moldy shower head which I believe gave me imflammed rash on my arms and legs which I still have and will have to make an appt with the doctor now that I'm back, plus hardly any water come out of it). Food not very good. I suggest going to 'Hotel Coco' which is half refurbished, beautiful restaurant and pub. Hopefully the Orwell gets the place back to what it used to be, but it's going to take a LOT of work sadly!

Well positioned hotel. We had a superior room which was very reasonable and I think it would be the best choice at this hotel. I would stay again. The bar staff weren't overly welcoming, but it was quite late when we ordered a drink. I guess they wanted to go.

Read lots of really negative reviews before booking. Booked anyway as was cheap. Reception staff were friendly and polite. Room was dated however it was clean. Didnt use the bath as the enamel was yellowing, matress was old and lumpy. You get you pay for and for the money i paid i was satisfied

Not good at all
Hotel is very tired, not worth the money. Check in was conducted by a lad on his phone, he kept the call going whilst checking me in (albeit not talking to them) but made sure the check in was quick so he could get back to his conversation. No directions to where to go, where the restaurant is etc. Room was too hot, window open and the inner lining had bird poo on it. 100% won’t be staying here every again unless it’s fully refurbished!
