Awful food and service.

The food was awful, cooked on the outside, raw in the middle. Complained to the manager and she walked off whilst mumbling. Glad to say I hear that manager is leaving this week.

Return trip (one night stay)

Stayed here about a month ago - it is an OK place to stay - you know what to expect from GK. Friendly efficient service - comfortable with no real issues. Good breakfast - evening food was wholesome and typical of all GK menus. Have stayed twice before and would stay again - I have found it reliable and so one thing less to worry about when planning a trip away.

Ok hotel . Bar and food was fine. Rooms could do with an update and a re- decoration as they are a bit tired. But they were clean. Room was boiling as it was a warm weekend. No aircon, and with the window open street was quite noisy.

Nice hotel

The hotel was ok for a two night stay however at night it was very noisy and hard to sleep. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size but the bathroom looked tired but clean. For the price we paid you couldn’t grumble too much. If I was to go again I would definitely not ask for room 15 only because of the noise. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. They accommodated me as I have celiac disease. We came to see the Dads Army museum and everything was walking distance.

The area was lovely, we walked around and explored the park and streets alike. We hadn’t realised the dads army connection, which was a lovely discovery. Unfortunately at night we were disturbed by loud noises from people nearby the property and obviously outside of your control.

An elderly hotel, quaint but comfortable. Superb bed, so slept well. Breakfast super. However, I need a ‘walker’ due to a bad back and had no warning that there is NO lift - bedrooms are on upper floors so very difficult. Also there has been confusion with payment. I paid Expedia at time of booking and paid the Bell a different amount when departing. Checked with The Bell upon arrival at home and was told that my ‘payment to the Bell’ was for invoice only???

Convienient town centre location.

In a convenient location in middle of Thetford. The staff were friendly. Reasonably value for money. Bathroom was dissappointing - water flow for shower poor, towel rail on with no control to turn it off in the middle of summer.Temp control for shower hard to control. General decor clean but a little scruffy.

Very disappointing hotel

Everything in this hotel was terrible. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok nothing special for £25 for two people. £105 for one night in a very uncomfortable bed is a joke. The toilet in the common area was clogged with poo We do not recommend this hotel
