The Moldovan receptionist was very friendly. I had booked a Superior room, but the booking showed Double room. He upgraded me to a Suite. On the other hand the lady receptionist in the morning was not so friendly. I asked if I could check out an hour later than usual as I had a little toddler who was still asleep, she said I would need to pay extra for it.
The room was cleaned but the kettle in the room was not safe to use. It was full of limescale. I went down to the reception and asked if it can be changed. I waited an hour for one to be sent to my room but it never came, I then rang the reception and they send me another kettle after 5 minutes. However this was again in the same state. So I didnt get to enjoy my hot chocolate and coffee.

I booked 4 rooms as we were attending my father in laws funeral. All rooms were superior doubles, my son decided to add an additional night in his room. Myself, other son and daughter checked in after the funeral, Friday and it was very obvious that the standard of “Superior Double Rooms” varies greatly. The first sons room was very dated, bath with shower over, peeling wallpaper, dated furniture, rusty radiator, old windows etc. other 3 rooms were lovely and a higher standard. We complained and advised all rooms were superior doubles. After much debating and looking at 2 more rooms, my son moved at no additional cost, although this was originally mentioned and took a lot of negotiations as the receptionist was a tad unhelpful. Be wary of what room you receive. Also problem with coffees and milk or the coffee on the bar, although this was sorted once they were aware.

The Orwell is an old school hotel with some modern extensions...I stayed in room 102, part of the original building I would think...the room was a great size but the decor was tired, curling wallpaper, cracked paintwork and unfirm sash windows (especially in the bathroom which I could only hold open by wedging in a spare loo roll).
The bed was very comfortable, unfortunately my nights sleep was wrecked by a family struggling to silence and control what sounded like a prebusecent unruly boy who was screaming, shouting and repeatedly slamming the door butting onto mine. Adults, I presume his parents, joined in the fun and games arguing loudly - the shenanigans continued almost unabated from eleven until one...Why reception/night staff didn't intervene I can only scratch my head over as the volume would surely have gone down to the front desk given the positioning...and before any points a finger at foreign influence the voices were very English...the repeated "f@@@ offs" were unmistakably native.

The Orwell unfortunately is rundown, and is in desperate need of a refurbishment. 40 years ago it was lovely. I'm giving it a 3 only because of the staff would were very good, not the hotel. Our room (124) overlooked the hotel garbage bins, dirty carpet, old mattresses (you could feel the coils), dirty cracked bathroom tiles, paint peeling from tub surrounding, and worse yet was the shower (moldy shower head which I believe gave me imflammed rash on my arms and legs which I still have and will have to make an appt with the doctor now that I'm back, plus hardly any water come out of it). Food not very good. I suggest going to 'Hotel Coco' which is half refurbished, beautiful restaurant and pub. Hopefully the Orwell gets the place back to what it used to be, but it's going to take a LOT of work sadly!

Well positioned hotel. We had a superior room which was very reasonable and I think it would be the best choice at this hotel. I would stay again.
The bar staff weren't overly welcoming, but it was quite late when we ordered a drink. I guess they wanted to go.

We have stayed at the Orwell several times now, we are generally happy with service, facilities etc. As with a lot of hotels a few areas need attention but this does seem to be ongoing.Staff are generally very helpful if a problem arises. The only issue this time was that the menus stated that food was available to order until 8.45p.m. When actually it was 7.45 so our order was refused by chef at 7.50!! The bar tender was most apologetic but not his fault- the menus need altering- an easy fix.
We love the location of the Orwell,parking facilities, also the beautiful Edwardian features.

Hotel is very tired, not worth the money. Check in was conducted by a lad on his phone, he kept the call going whilst checking me in (albeit not talking to them) but made sure the check in was quick so he could get back to his conversation. No directions to where to go, where the restaurant is etc. Room was too hot, window open and the inner lining had bird poo on it. 100% won’t be staying here every again unless it’s fully refurbished!

Stayed one night in this rather dated hotel as a couple. Check in was seamless and friendly. The room was large and clean but in need of refurbishing with only a standard double bed rather than a Queen or King size, the shower was weak and available in only too hot or too cold. This is an old building and retains its character well with a library and porters lodge for storing luggage. There was a limited choice of bar food in the evening. The quality was good and the service friendly. HOWEVER having requested a Gluten Free meal I was served onion rings with my steak. Only my insistence on a double check averted disaster.
Breakfast can only be described as chaotic. Reasonable choice, in a buffet style, but almost everything needed replenishing and when this was done, such a small quantity was brought out that it instantly ran out again. Not only food but plates and glasses. Hot water for tea was from a flask (really?). The two young staff present were helpful but clearly overwhelmed. A bit of supervision and forward planning would have worked wonders. They must know how many people are booked in for breakfast and should have had the required supplies ready, thus less running around when things get busy.
