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.

I booked 4 rooms as we were attending my father in laws funeral. All rooms were superior doubles, my son decided to add an additional night in his room. Myself, other son and daughter checked in after the funeral, Friday and it was very obvious that the standard of “Superior Double Rooms” varies greatly. The first sons room was very dated, bath with shower over, peeling wallpaper, dated furniture, rusty radiator, old windows etc. other 3 rooms were lovely and a higher standard. We complained and advised all rooms were superior doubles. After much debating and looking at 2 more rooms, my son moved at no additional cost, although this was originally mentioned and took a lot of negotiations as the receptionist was a tad unhelpful. Be wary of what room you receive. Also problem with coffees and milk or the coffee on the bar, although this was sorted once they were aware.

Beautiful ground floor rooms and lounges, my bedroom a bit dated but clean and a comfortable bed. Reception helpful and dealt with a complaint satisfactorily. Would use this hotel again with a great location opposite the railway station.

The Orwell is an old school hotel with some modern extensions...I stayed in room 102, part of the original building I would think...the room was a great size but the decor was tired, curling wallpaper, cracked paintwork and unfirm sash windows (especially in the bathroom which I could only hold open by wedging in a spare loo roll). The bed was very comfortable, unfortunately my nights sleep was wrecked by a family struggling to silence and control what sounded like a prebusecent unruly boy who was screaming, shouting and repeatedly slamming the door butting onto mine. Adults, I presume his parents, joined in the fun and games arguing loudly - the shenanigans continued almost unabated from eleven until one...Why reception/night staff didn't intervene I can only scratch my head over as the volume would surely have gone down to the front desk given the positioning...and before any points a finger at foreign influence the voices were very English...the repeated "f@@@ offs" were unmistakably native.

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!
