Good location for where I was working. My room was large with a comfortable bed. Tea and coffee facilities were good and tv channels ok. Only really downside was very poor water pressure in the shower. I would stay there again.

We were very pleased with our Felixstowe stay at the Orwell. The room was comfortable and clean. The evening meal had an indian influence and I tried some interesting and enjoyable dishes. An adequate breakfast paved the way for the day, after our solid sleep. So if the need calls for a return to the town then we will stay here.

Stayed in a refurbished room, large bed, newly decorated shower room, tea, coffee, kettle and bottled water in the room and toiletries in bathroom. Easy free parking, excellent roast dinner on Sunday evening, staff all very helpful throughout our stay. Only one minor improvement would be a checkout at 11:00 instead of 10:00 without having to pay a surcharge. Would definitely recommend.
