Salthouse Harbour Hotel

We have stayed in this hotel several times and have loved it every time. Rooms are beautiful, spotlessly clean and with a wonderful view of the marina.
We had cocktails in the afternoon which were delicious and then ate in the restaurant. Food was very high quality and service friendly and efficient.
We will definitely be returning.
Only one very small negative is that the toiletries in the bedrooms contain almond oil and there is only a very small warning for anyone with a nut allergy. This is something that should be pointed out during check-in with an alternative offered for anyone who needs it.

Had a wonderful stay very dog friendly very sweet they give your dog a free gift upon stay
The afternoon tea was amazing so was the staff. Just a few things like a mark on the walls in the room aswell as a broken desk part but overall great place to stay in by the harbour will for sure come back xx

Birthday celebration dinner and stay overnight: superb service from start to checkout, with excellent meal. Staff seemed to genuinely enjoy and to be proud to provide great service

We recently spent two nights at this fabulous hotel in a wonderful location overlooking the marina with a great atmosphere. Our room (508) was immaculate with tea/coffee making facilities and gorgeous shower gel/hand soap etc in the bathroom. The food for breakfast and evening meal was freshly cooked and delivered to your table with professionalism. From our arrival to leaving we could not fault the staff who were very friendly and helpful at all times and always with a smile on their face. We certainly received value for money and will definitely be visiting again looking forward to the new spa facilities which are opening shortly. At times it was rather noisy with the balcony doors open due to a fairground attraction quite close by which we understand was in place for the Easter weekend.

Myself and my daughter just spent one night here B&B
The atmosphere was friendly and inviting . Great staff everyone we met was so nice. The room was lovely . The breakfast fresh. cocktails very good . Service was excellent throughout .
Great email and human communication at all times from booking to leaving .
Very classy relaxed but fun place to stay with nice decor and impeccable staff.

My wife and I have just returned from a break at The Salthouse Harbour Hotel while on a coach trip. We arrived on 30th March and stayed for four nights. The hotel has recently re-opened after a two month refurb.
What a wonderful Hotel. The staff were amazing and the food, both breakfast and evening meal were served at the table. The quality of the food and it's presentation was first class. We had a room on the fifth floor overlooking the harbour and surrounding area of Ipswich. We could not find fault with anything. I would certainly recommend this hotel if you are heading for Ipswich. You will not be disappointed.

We had an afternoon tea for two. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were delicious and washed down with copious amounts of tea all at a very reasonable price. The decor is sumptuous and comfortable. The staff are professional, friendly and attentive, asking us on more than one occasion if we needed any refills. Special mention must be made of Diana who looked after us wonderfully well. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of staying in room 507 this Sunday evening and selected one of the copper rooms which far exceeded my expectations. A real copper bath too, it was delightful! This hotel oozes luxury, sophistication and a real home from home feel with timeless, quintessential interiors and real heritage to the waterfront town of Ipswich. My view from the Juliet balcony was stunning, in-fact I had to keep reminding myself I was still in the UK! Absolutely cannot wait to bring my family back here in the summer and would highly recommend. Lastly, the restaurant and bar areas are newly renovated and are outstanding with some spectacular treats on the menu, particularly loved the “fish, chips and sips”

I booked a dinner reservation. It was Sunday so roasts are on the menu. Everything was delicious and I couldn't fault it. A wonderful experience

Room overlooked harbour with a small balcony. French doors so can pull chairs for sit down view.
Ground floor being completely refurbed so lots of mess and closed to public.
We got a special rate while work going on so happy with stay.

The hotel has had a refurbishment on the ground floor. Official opening on 9th so we went to check it out as our experiences have always been 5*
The bar has been moved into the open reception area which we will certainly use just to have a drink which really wouldn’t have been an option before.
Familiar surroundings but with a new boutique quality and feel.
The same and also new FANTASTIC staff.
Obviously prices have been raised. Personally , I think even a small glass of wine is a little overpriced. I had the fish and chips , very reasonable, and totally delicious, but the pea puree was barely warm would be my only criticism. My husband had the lamb dish .. the lamb was beautifully cooked but the mash tasteless and I would say overpriced.
What keeps us returning is the staff. They are exemplary at their job.
Well done everyone

A gorgeous hotel in a beautiful area on the waterfront. The view in the evening/morning was gorgeous. The room itself was amazing, very warm and cosy and lots of amenities in the room - tea, coffee, biscuits. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was lovely to use. The bed was extremely comfortable to sleep in and very large so lots of space. Towels provided were soft and fluffy. Overall had a lovely stay, it’s right by some yummy restaurants/bars. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the room service breakfast was absolutely delicious! Plus brought us toast which we requested. Would love to stay here again in the future. They also wrote a lovely happy birthday note for arrival.

Still one of our favourite Hotels. Yes at the moment it does have renovations ongoing but if you stay for the weekend no building work goes ahead so as quiet as always. We stayed for two nights (Friday/Saturday) the builders stopped at 3.00pm on the Friday ready for guests to check in, (but to be honest they were rather quiet).
There is a beautiful lounge area on the top floor (penthouse) if you didn’t want to stay in your room where you are able to have a drink with the most amazing views over the marina towards the Orwell bridge. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Or even return to see how things are coming along.

Had the pleasure of staying here while working in the area .
The hotels ground floor is currently being renovated so there is no restaurant but a bar is available on the 6th floor .
Breakfast is being served in the rooms and room service is available for evening meals.
Upon check in the staff were wonderful and friendly and due to work I got an upgraded room , WOW, fantastic view of the harbour and the most luxurious bed I have ever seen , everything about this hotel just screams class!!
For me people make the difference and that personal touch means a lot when you are a guest .
Thank you , I absolutely love this hotel and look forward to visiting when the works are complete.

Clean trendy, warm rooms

Currently staying at the Salt house Harbour Hotel for a couple of nights. Booked one on the Penthouse Suites. Room 605

Warm welcoming at reception and very accommodating in terms of taking our luggage up to our room

Room is moderately spacious for suite and the glass frontage from the bedroom and the living area provides for fantastic views of the harbour.

The decor in the bedroom works well with the wooden ornate bed headrest and side lamps. Love the drift wood lamps shades in the living area and the curtains work well.

The TV area and furniture in the living area just doesn’t work for me and looks completely outdated. The pictures on the walls are simply not fitting for a suite of this nature.

The Bathroom en-suite is very plain and not what you would expect for a penthouse suite. The green floor tiles are simply not my taste.

Although clean and tidy it needs a complete overhaul to give it some character. Very disappointing that a penthouse suite of this nature didn’t even have any luxury bath salts and there doesn’t seem to be any underfloor heating so your feet are freezing cold when walking into the bathroom.

The surrounding with the Marina and the harbour walk is classy. Great service at the hotel and large rooms, clean and a little taste of luxury. Sitting breakfast, might a little expensive but close to other places just outside the hotel door. Compare to prices in London, this is a great deal of feeling great.
