Ask for a quayside view table and take it all in. Beautiful harbour setting, smart decor and restaurant, very good 4* service, lovely efficient staff and fine dining and wine with a well stocked bar. This hotel is connected to the Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds and both never disappoint. Both impressive. Excellent sourced local food, well prepared and excellently presented. Brilliant location for a business lunch. Also a hotel for your clients, although I have not stayed there

We celebrated my sister's 40th with a celebratory lunch here with our husbands. Bar and restaurant are superbly decorated - very original and interesting, and the service was good. The food was sublime! All 4 of us were delighted with our choices, not a bad dish amongst the 12 (3 courses!) we had and some really interesting and inspired dishes. Really looking forward to my next visit and plan to stay overnight next time - if the hotel is anywhere near as good as its restaurant it will be fantastic!

We stayed at the Salthouse last Tuesday and thought everything about this hotel from the service , decor, location was really impressive , but special praise must go to the staff who were superb.

I was really impressed with this hotel - we had to stay a night in Ipswich for a wedding and just found it on the internet. Great decor - quite Malmaison-esque but a bit more original. Good location on the waterfront. Gorgeous tiled bathroom and comfortable bed. My one gripe was that our room was quite cold, and there was no way to control the room temperature.

We arrived late in the evening (about 1230am) but were checked in with no problem. I had a great cooked breakfast the next day - the dining room was quite busy, and it struck me that it's probably quite a popular spot for people having brunch. All in all, if you do find yourself in Ipswich (?), you might as well treat yourself...
