A new restaurant had been added since our last visit but the hotel overall has not improved. Still very tired and our room is even smaller than the last one. It’s ok for one night.

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.
