I stay often in Norwich and there are some really excellent hotel options. I stayed here because of the excellent reviews but it didn’t live up to the hype. The room was reasonable but a bit dated. But worse was the general grubbyness of the room. Net curtains where grey and stained and round the windows was positively dirty. I’ll stick to the other options in town. Disappointing…

Our room was very cold. We called reception and they said we'd need to wait 2 hours for it to warm up, which it didn't...and by then it was too late to ask someone to fix it. We also ordered room service and there were bits missing from our order. A member of staff also walked into the room before check out time while we were in the bathroom. The hotel is very nice but I found the experience to be somewhat lacking.

From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and room was immaculately clean. We had a drink in the bar in the evening and the young man serving was very helpful when choosing a wine to drink. I liked the fact we could easily walk to shops and restaurants near by. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning.
