We stayed for one night, and it was fabulous! The staff and manager really made this stay great. Nothing was too much trouble. It was relaxing and calm. Everything was spotless clean. Our bedroom was great, with a view of the sea spacious and really comfortable. The food was excellent so compliments to the chef! Enjoyed the stay so much we are booking again. We really recommend this hotel...but more than anything what a fantastic team.

Hotel Ocean is a comfortable beachfront boutique hotel (9 rooms on 3 floors– No lift) by the sea which offers ocean views and easy access to local attractions. The staff at Hotel Ocean were attentive and friendly making us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Our room (room 2 – 1st floor) was nicely decorated with a comfortable bed, mini fridge, free Wi-Fi, daily bottles of mineral water, and a flat-screen. Extras like a kettle with tea, coffee, biscuits, and Green & Vegan Anyah Eco Spa Treatment shampoo & body wash in the private shower room made our stay even more pleasant. A second armchair would have been nice for added comfort, but with the existing armchair and desk chair, it worked well enough. Our stay included breakfast at their onsite Box Tree Bistro which offered a great variety of breakfast options, we particularly enjoyed their full English, Egg benedictine / Egg royale breakfasts and their breakfast fruit salad – Portions were generous. The Box Tree Bistro also offered lunches, and evening meals, with options for indoor or outdoor dining. We mostly dined onsite as they had a delicious and reasonably priced menu. Parking was hassle-free, with free street parking available beside or behind the hotel in Resident Parking Zone A. Simply giving our registration number upon check-in, the hotel arranged a visitor permit. We never had trouble finding a spot, allowing us to explore Great Yarmouth without worrying about parking fees.

Great hotel right on the sea front and activities

Really lovely place to stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and they didn’t overcharge at the bar like other places do. Recommend a stay here. The only down size was no lifts as small hotel. We were on the top floor and my poor knees knew about it 😂

The staff at the Ocean were incredible, they couldn’t do enough for us, such a great team! Room was lovely, was a little noisy at night due to other guests but isn’t the hotels fault. Breakfast was delicious, all made fresh and could make adjustments to suit.

No reservation despite confirmation

Unfortunately the hotel had no record of our booking via hotel.com so they were only able to book us for two nights in a room without a sea view. Should have been cheaper i am still not sure if i overpaid. So both myself and the hotel had to contact hotel.com, eventually we managed to speak to someone i have a refund and a credit for my Tesco club card points that i have to use reluctantly with hotel.com. The hotel is fine we tried to turn the radiator off but it kept coming on . Being at the back of the hotel there was no road noise and few street lights shining in the room but we did have the extractor fans for some of the time. The room was quite small, wardrobe the clothes pole could be higher up so you can put coats in without touching the fridge/unit.

Great stay

We booked a sea view room and were upgraded to the suite - lovely room, comfy king size bed and nicely furnished. Spacious and clean with lots of windows overlooking the sea front. Up a couple of flights of stairs which was no problem for us but something to be aware of as there is no lift. Breakfast was included and was possibly the best quality hotel breakfast I’ve had in a long time. High quality bacon and sausages And perfectly cooked eggs plus hand cut fresh bread. Superb. Breakfast area was also a restaurant open for lunch & dinner - nicely decorated and clean and fresh. Great decor and vibe although I can’t comment on other food as we only had breakfast here. The guy who served breakfast was really friendly and chatty - also covered the reception. The girl who checked us in the evening before was also friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again

Conveniently placed hotel, close to everything. Staff could be more visable and bar and restaurant open longer but this could have been due to end of season. Overall value for money for a very nice room.
