What guests think
At The Bell Hotel, guests describe a friendly, pub-with-rooms stay in a central Mildenhall location, with convenient parking, generally basic accommodation that feels dated, variable upkeep, and occasional renovations bringing a few rooms up to a better standard.
Common downsides include malfunctioning or weak showers and noise from the bar, yard, or street, especially where single glazing lets sound in. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with some noting clean rooms and linen and others reporting dirty carpets or mould. Dining is limited, with breakfast often unavailable and the kitchen sometimes closed, though nearby cafés and restaurants are convenient. Overall, expect a simple, budget stopover rather than a full-service hotel.

Facilities
On-site pub is appreciated and on-site parking at the rear is handy, though spaces can be tight when busy. Overall facilities are simple, consistent with a pub-with-rooms setup.

Easy to find, parking at rear. Staff friendly, check in easy. Hotel side a bit run down, room adequate. Decor and fittings dated but the room and bathroom was clean and tidy. Towels and bedding clean. Bit overpriced for what you get but it served its purpose.

I had work close by and this was a very convenient and affordable hotel. Staff was very kind and quick to respond to any communication. Parking was safe and location was great to access walking/jogging path for a morning jog along the river. The rooms are not updated but our room was clean and perfect for a shorty stay. For the price it was a great deal and I would definitely stay again.

A good, economical stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Not easy finding someone for check in and check out. I was blocked at the car park, so when hotel is full, there may not be enough parking for all guests. Very clean, but my room was a little tired. Overall a good stay.

People were friendly and so helpful. The rooms need updating, I went back in time to my Nans bedroom in the 80’s. Toilet flushed and the who pub heard. Didn’t try the food but drinks were reasonable. It was a last minute booking and the price matched what I got.

Welcome was good, as was my dinner. Hotel is old and in need of some attention. My real concern was that the smoke detector in my bedroom was covered over with a plastic bag. I mentioned it to a staff member who I took to be the manager but no one came back to me and no one came to my room to remove it. Additionally the bathroom light didn't work but that is probably insignificant compare to the issue concerning fire safety.

We have been familiar with the Bell for a number of years having lived in the community in the past. These are fairly new owners who are trying to upgrade services and safety within the constants of listed buildings. While this a friendly atmosphere it should be noted the traveler who stays should be prepared for old world charm and basic amenities although TV and wify are available there are stairs only between floor and not a place for handicap or the unfit It is close to transportation, local walks, and friendly local cafes. It was more than adequate for our needs visiting family and friends and getting to nearby towns by bus and reconnecting with familiar places,

Stayed here for 3 nights as we met up up with relations who live in Bury St Edmunds. Staff here were friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean & shower was fine. We had food one night and it was nice enough. Place needed a bit of updating. We paid £65 a night for room only so I would say it wasn't expensive.

The room I had was less than basic accommodation. Active molds on the ceiling and the front desk/bar staff treated me like an inconvenience instead of a patron. While using the Wi-Fi they cut off the lights and unplugged the hotspot without warning. I had to ask multiple times for simple things like another towel after being out all day. I left a day earlier than booked because it was so bad.No breakfast as advertised. Zero stars.

Don’t waste your money. Rooms were so dated. Dirty, mouldy and smelt funny. When staff were told they were very confrontational and said that the bed and redecorating had been done that day (convenient ay). We quickly checked out and booked another hotel. When asking for a refund there response was no as there is nothing wrong with the rooms! I beg to differ! Dread to think what the cleanliness of the kitchen is like looking at the rooms. They also said it’s £75 a night what do you expect. At least somewhere habitable Overall. Not a great experience and their customer service skills were dier as well!

The decor maybe tired and sort of 90s chic. However the number 1 thing for us here was the fantastic staff .From the friendly lady at front of house who checked us in and explained things. The fantastic lady at the bar who showed us local eating choices and breakfast places . It was a real delight to stay here. Good staff make all the difference. I'd stay here again.

Toilet system not working properly, Shower not working properly etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and I was given another room twice, but the carpet was so dirty you could not walk on it bare foot. T.V. not working in change of room. Would not stay there again, and defo not recommended.

The room that I was located was situated at the back of the hotel. The room was comfortable and a fan was provided due to the very hot weather, which was a great help. The down side.... below my window is the yard which is like a garden and unfortunately got very noisy at times during the evening when customers were out there.

No hot water in the shower, I complained twice and was told it was old plumbing and I needed to time my showers to avoid peak use. The mattress had springs poking out of it. The windows are single glazed and the blinds/curtains are so thin they dont keep any noise or light out. I wont be back.

The staff are lovely and friendly and they accommodated my request for a quiet room. The check in and out process was quick and easy. I didn’t sleep so well because of noise from the next door’s TV until past midnight but obviously that’s inevitable and not the hotel’s fault. The room was spacious and had high ceilings but it’s quite tired and needs a facelift- a redecoration, regrouting, a new bathroom light cord etc. It does the job for the night though.

Advertised as having free wifi but did not. It was BT Open wifi which is a public one all over the country that you need a paid account to have. Beds very hard, room decor falling apart and a shower that was boiling hot water only and a dribble, and almost falling off the wall.

The hotel is rather tired, the linen and towels were clean,there was shampo conditioner and soap,tea coffe and milk provided. The room we had was on the front and because the windows weren't double glazed there was lots of traffic noise. The carpet could do with a good clean or be replaced. They don't do breakfast but there is a cafe round the corner does a nice one for £7. The food on the manu was very reasonably priced.

Welcome was good, as was my dinner. Hotel is old and in need of some attention. My real concern was that the smoke detector in my bedroom was covered over with a plastic bag. I mentioned it to a staff member who I took to be the manager but no one came back to me and no one came to my room to remove it. Additionally the bathroom light didn't work but that is probably insignificant compare to the issue concerning fire safety.

I had work close by and this was a very convenient and affordable hotel. Staff was very kind and quick to respond to any communication. Parking was safe and location was great to access walking/jogging path for a morning jog along the river. The rooms are not updated but our room was clean and perfect for a shorty stay. For the price it was a great deal and I would definitely stay again.

Pleasant staff, quiet location with parking. Plenty of coffee and sugar in the room. Bed was somewhat more tired than me !

Stayed here for 3 nights as we met up up with relations who live in Bury St Edmunds. Staff here were friendly and helpful. Bed was clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean & shower was fine. We had food one night and it was nice enough. Place needed a bit of updating. We paid £65 a night for room only so I would say it wasn't expensive.

Our room was basic but had the essentials and was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was not available for our stay (a tempory issue we were warned about) but there were good restaurants and cafés within a few minutes walk. The rooms are attached to, but separate from, the pub which meant we had the convenience without the noise. The staff were lovely and helpful.

Hotel was a bit dated, bit of a 70's era for furniture and decor which was quite charming. Rooms confortable, staff friendly and welcoming, great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The hotel is rather tired, the linen and towels were clean,there was shampo conditioner and soap,tea coffe and milk provided. The room we had was on the front and because the windows weren't double glazed there was lots of traffic noise. The carpet could do with a good clean or be replaced. They don't do breakfast but there is a cafe round the corner does a nice one for £7. The food on the manu was very reasonably priced.

Imagine you’re an adventurer in an RPG video game. This is the inn. Exactly what I wanted. It’s cozy and warm. BTW parking is in the back , you have to drive around the block and take that one way street Angels cafe is on.
