I guess this hotel is what the dwp use for the homeless and asylum seekers felt a bit unsafe as no lock on inside of bedroom door and child could have got out if we dint put a chair there was told there is security at front desk all night there is no one groups of people sitting outside entrances in early hours i guess they live there can be a bit intimidating especially for a woman proberly wont stay again

Horrible. It is a mouldy and stuffy room. Single room but looks like a cupboard. Windows facing the roof with lots of birds remains and other stuff. Horrible smell and bathroom incredibly dirty. Never again!

Carlton hotel, Great Yarmouth

The check in and welcome was the best we've ever experienced anywhere! It was such a massive surprise and so refreshing. We travelled with a dog and were instantly put at ease and made to feel welcome and like returning guests. We cannot praise this lovely lady enough! The hotel has fabulous character and it's of the era with tonnes of charm. If you want modern, soulless straight lines, go elsewhere. If you value history, character, charm and the warmth of an older property then this is certainly the place for you! The hotel is huge and as was our sea view room on the third floor. Yes, the room needed a few maintenance matters taking care of, but this is no way detracted from our stay. They've got their fire emergency procedures well planned and visible where it needs to be. Our only issue during the stay was someone being inconsiderate shouting on the corridor as they returned to their room. As a very fair priced hotel, I'd not hesitate to recommend and stay again!

We only stayed at the hotel for one night with our dog and we were made to feel very welcome on arrival by the friendly staff. The room was clean and a nice size for the price. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean with a nice shower. There was a little noise in the evening but that’s to be expected from the location but we had a great nights sleep and so did our dog. Parking outside the hotel was great and they were actually nice and wide spaces for once. We’d definitely stay at the hotel again.
