Liked: Cleanliness
Very small room , the room was close to the extraction fan outlet for the kitchen that was noisy from the early hours of the morning and throughout the day / evening.
Staff polite , hotel condition was generally good however there was a flood near the breakfast room that was being fixed during breakfast .
Fire alarm did go off a twice but only for short periods
We had a lovely stay - can not fault the staff we had a slight problem with room (bath in room is not for us and mattress a bit old) but was sorted immediately and with no fuss - thank you
As expected for an overnight stay.
Paid Expedia rate for standard room so wasn’t expecting great, not was it. Very small dark room with small window overlooking back and extractor fans which were noisy. Bed - a double- not that comfy nor were pillows.
Breakfast was ok. Parking £8.
Hotel next to Spoons pub so a bit of late night noise.
Wouldn’t make me rush to return to ve fair but it was ok.
Efficient and friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, great breakfast! Situated near to the cathedral and a short walk to the marketplace the Maid's Head is perfect for a visit to beautiful Norwich.
The hotel was nice and the room was well decorated and fairly clean. The bed was not very comfortable and there was a disco going on and the sound of the bass from the music was so loud that we couldnt sleep.
