A budget hotel opening in the new year is set to launch a Christmas flash-sale with rooms in Ipswich from just £5.99.
The new easyHotel is set to open for business in mid-January at the former Groove nightclub in Ipswich town centre.
From midnight on Friday, December 21 to midnight on Christmas Eve, the ”super-budget” hotel chain will launch its Christmas cracker sale with rooms from Thursday, January 3 to Sunday, March 31 2019 for as little as £5.99 per night.
Work on the Grade II listed building is still underway, providing 100 rooms at the hotel in Northgate street.
Previously a stationers shop, a toy shop and a car showroom, the builiding was later home to a number of popular late-night venues including Chicago Rock Cafe, Shout and Mojo.
£4million is being invested by easyHotel to launch the new venture, with a coffee outlet being introduced on the ground floor of the property.
The reduced rate on offer in the three-day sale gives guests the opportunity to plan a weekend getaway early in the year – from Ipswich to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Leeds and Glasgow.
