Very nice hotel, the rooms are clean and modern with very comfortable beds. The only trouble we had was with parking, the very small hotel car park was full, we were directed to a nearby public car park which has no card payment option, we didn't have enough change to pay and the hotel staff were running low on change...

The hotel and neighbouring housing blocks are built on brownfield site by the river. There’s a new bridge linking to industry and commerce on the north bank, and a riverside path to the marina and restaurants. Regeneration of the area has only been partially successful, the riverside walk was pleasant enough but floral memorials en route warned against returning that... More

Stayed three nights . Very clean, nice room, food average. Staff all willing and helpful. Problems are parking and with the window open , one of the flats opposite had a noisy party until 3.30 in the morning. There is a little news agents/grocers 30 yards from the hotel, very handy for drinks when your going out. We would stay... More

Stayed here with 2 colleagues for one night. Staff were pleasant. £6 for overnight car parking which was reasonable. The drinks in the bar were very pricey for a budget hotel - £5 for a tea and a diet coke so we decided not to eat in the hotel. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, it was a little... More

Gave the hotel a call and spoke to a member of staff called Andrew; he insisted to check us in first and assured us we could park the car in a council car park a couple of minutes away. He was very friendly and helpful, directed me to... More

Stayed as part of a superbreaks package and therefore got dinner (first night only), bed and breakfast thrown in (not literally). I think we may have been a bit unlucky with the staff as the girl on the front desk didn't have a clue. One or two of the restaurant fell into the same category and were happy to wander... More

Stayed one night with work and the beds are hard the rooms are minimal no cupboard no safe and it really feels like their should be one. The rooms are clean the staff very polite and helpful but I wouldn't pick this one again. It has a spread of custom however breakfast is ok they did cater for particular requests.... More

My daughter and I stayed here. We had an excellent twin room. Staff were very accommodating. Parking is chargeable and small / awkward if the hotel is busy. Lovely modern rooms. We didn't have breakfast, but if you Orr pay its cheaper and kids eat free.

This was our third time in Ipswich and the third time we have stayed at the Ramada Encore which says something! We have always found it to be excellent value for money, clean, welcoming and with a good self service beakfast. It's very convenient for walking into the town centre, close to everything and easy to get out into the... More
