Location is brilliant for a Norwich visit, very central. Room was lovely and good size. Full size bath was excellent and bed was very comfortable.

Louise United Kingdom

A lovely hotel in a great location close to the cathedral. We had a very large room and modern en-suite, great shower, armchairs and table, very comfortable bed. Good value for money and helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Devyani United Kingdom

Good continental breakfast with plenty of choice. Very good location

Michael United Kingdom

Beautiful room, SO spacious! Especially lovely to have a dressing room in addition to the bathroom and main bedroom area. All staff were friendly and helpful. Brilliant location - easy to walk everywhere but also very quiet at night despite lots of pubs & restaurants nearby. Can't wait to return.

Excellent location, clean room with inviting decor, same for ensuite.
