We stayed in this hotel at the start of the cruise and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The rooms were very clean and well decorated and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The evening dinner and the breakfast were both excellent and the ability to leave the car here whilst on the cruise was a big selling point. would highly... More

On arrival we were a little disappointed as the photograph we had seen of the exterior of the hotel had seemed to show it in a rural location whereas it is actually in a very built up area...however, any disappointment disappeared as soon as we walked in. What a beautiful place with very down to earth lovely, helpful staff. The... More

I felt clean, safe and well looked after here and I would revisit without hesitation; the Tower is probably the best value of all the hotels on offer in Harwich but it is what it is, and a little over priced for that. The food is good although the chef clearly has a very sweet tooth (main courses are overwhelmingly... More

Recently stayed At The Tower Hotel, had one of the executive rooms (Bagshaw) which was nicely decorated with many period features, very roomy with a large comfy bed, and good en-suite facilities. Room/Hotel throughout was extremely clean. We received excellent service and the breakfast was good. We also had a snack in the "Beatles" Bar and found that to be... More

I booked this hotel because of the location close to the ferry and the fact that it had internet available in the entire hotel. The location was correct, the internet not. "No internet available in the room" the lady at check in told us. Would that have been mentioned on the website I would not have booked. Room was hot,... More

Stayed for 1 night in the Jones Suite having booked on booking.com. Annoyed as the website made out it was the last available room and it was more than we wanted to pay however went for it to find only 3 rooms were booked in the entire hotel. Not the hotels fault. Room was decorated using original heritage techniques with... More

We have just returned from a trip to Suffolk/Norfolk and stayed our first night at the Tower Hotel. We paid £78.00 for a twin room and breakfast which I believed it to be good value. The room was compact but had a large shower room - excellent if you are disabled. I had a excellent night's sleep. Their was a... More

I booked rather late using booking.com and reluctantly accepted the only available room for GBP 79, which was described as 'luxury decor'. So I was expecting something special. The location was not ideal, being a good 40 min walk to decent off-site restaurants and also not close to the ferry terminal. The neighbourhood is relatively quiet though. It was a... More
