Beautiful classy hotel in a great location.
Friendly and helpful staff, you even get a free ride around the City in a vintage Bentley. Would definitely stay here again.
Only complaint was the pillows, but this criticism can be levelled at most hotels, I guess they can’t use feather pillows for allergy reasons. Note to self, Will bring my own next time!
Perfect hotel and location for visiting the city. Riverside, bars, restaurants, shops, castle and cathedral all within walking distance. It was my husband's birthday and a card was left for him in our room which was thoughtful. A great selection at breakfast. Lots of cosy seating areas around the hotel to sit and recharge. Thanks 😊
Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable with air conditioning and a large walk in shower. My room was attended to every day without having to ask. Breakfast had a higher choice and something for everyone. I’m staying again next week.
We had a one night stay as we was visiting Norwich. We have stayed before and found the hotel very nice. We did'nt book breakfast on this stay as we feel breakfast does let them down in this area. We did use the bar area on arrival for a couple of drinks before going back to our room to get ready for our evening out. We love the old look bar which resembles a pub. It could do with being staffed more
We arrived at about 10am and check in is 3pm. They put our bags in storage and we went to get something to eat. About 1:30 we returned to check on the room. It was ready and they had already moved our bags to the room. The room was well serviced each day.
The hotel is lovely. The rooms are very good and the heating system is simple to use.the staff are all lovely.
Breakfast could be improved. The cooked breakfast is buffet style and the products they use seem great quality but as it’s all in warming trays, it’s actually cold or lukewarm at best. Thus hotel would be perfect if the breakfast was cooked for you rather than dive buffet style.
Nothing to criticise. Felt we were well looked after from moment of arrival to departure. Rooms recently redecorated, comfortable and spotless. Would definitely return if in Norwich
Lovely hotel, clean tons and very helpful staff. Problem was the noise. There was a party in the evening and you could hear the music from the room so had to go out until well after midnight. Other noise issues - it’s a long tone since I’ve stayed in a room where the walls are so thin you can hear snoring from a neighbour 😱
