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

Boyhood Wishes
Since delivering papers to the Orwell Hotel as a boy I have wanted to stay here. It did not disappoint and was an interesting mix of old and new. We think some of the staff were new as a couple of times we had to remind them for the milk to complete the tea order. The rooms were convenient and clean modern bathrooms and the decor was definitely a bird theme. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My only gripe was that I had phoned the hotel prior and arranged a bottle of Prosseco to be in my friend's room as a Birthday treat. This did not happen and no apology, otherwise check in was fine.

Visit to Felixstowe
Overall a good stay. Staff were friendly and efficient . Room was cofortable although the carpet had some threadbare spots. Furniture was very outdated and could do with a refresh. Shower controls were very temperamentle trying to get a consistent temperature. There was not a toilet cleaning brush in the bathroom. The price was reasonable considering these minor faults.

Wouldn’t recommend
Disappointing stay. Lift out of order. Fire alarm at almost midnight. Restaurant could not come up with anything for husband to eat due to allergies. Steaks are pre marinaded and cooking is with rapeseed oil. Menu in the room is not the menu on offer in the restaurant. Jute misleading. No gluten free beer. Shabby appearance. Needs a good refurb

It is a lovely building from outside it looks amazing but the interior does not match the exterior, nothing major, just a little tired and in need of some refurbishment in places, room sizes varied enormously between huge (double suite) and very cramped (twin room).
