to get started.

Paul, United Kingdom

Very central to the city. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was good plenty of choice.

Karen, United Kingdom

Overall the hotel is of a high standard and in my opinion is the best option for accommodation in Norwich. The location is hard to beat and the free car parking adds to the relaxed experience. All of the staff are very polite and friendly and give the impression that they enjoy the working environment at the hotel.

Norfolk, United Kingdom

Breakfast, service in the lounge, lovely toiletries.

M, United Kingdom

The breakfast was very good but a bit of a trek to get there.

David, United Kingdom

Friendly staff. Very well located. Good sized room.

Elizabeth, United Kingdom

Room was very clean & comfortable. Self-service breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel was well located in city centre.

Darren, United Kingdom

The four star hotel is in a period building so the room sizes are a little smaller but very well appointed. The only thing the hotel could use to make it a perfect score is a pool / spa / gym area. But this is literally the only fault and due to the period building something that they can’t really provide. I would highly recommend the hotel and will be staying again if I am in Norwich again.

Anon, United Kingdom

Hotel is well situated for seeing Historical sites. The staff couldn't be more helpful, professional, attentive and friendly. The food should be shouted about as it was wonderful. We didn't sample the A La Carte menu, even though it sounded fabulous, Sunday roast was top class and the bar menu, especially the calamari & whitebait was impressive.

Sarah, United Kingdom

The hotel was a delight, with the best English breakfast I’ve ever eaten!! Staff were caring and focused on delivery an unprecedented experience.
