Brilliant staff, clean room and comfortable bed. Plumbing, namely water draining away shower/sink, was a little slow, which could cause the shower tray to flood into the bathroom. More an issue in the morning, possibly due to system capacity. Wedding party was a little noisy on one night, but to be expected.

Lovely old hotel located in the middle of the historic part of town. Sadly we didn't get a room in the original part of the hotel. However our modern room was very clean and quiet spacious. Hotel parking seemed expensive with few other options.

I’m so disappointed at our stay

I’m so disappointed at our stay Firstly arrived & parked at the rear of the hotel on there own car park. No rear door to use had to walk round with bags. Got into reception & another hotel customer was kicking off over parking chargers. I thought what parking chargers !!!!!!! I thought the hotel car park was free !!!!!! On this site it says car park self park on hotel page & even looking at fees on the app it doesn’t show a charge for the car or say anything until you click show more & then you see it. But you shouldn’t have to search for these things so straight away I’m not happy when at reception I’m told the car park is £15.00 a night & I only have 15 mins from arrival to go & pay it. So then a mad rush leaving my mrs with the bags in the hotel , I had to race back to the car park to pay for the parking. But hold on that’s not the best bit it lists secure parking but no barrier , it looks like the barrier hasn’t been there for a few years now. Plus you can actually park a lot closer to the hotel entrance by parking out the front of the hotel on the council run car park over night for just £3.00 a whole £12.00 cheaper & it’s closer , so guess what you feel a bit ripped of by the hotel charging you £12.00 more. Then there was the noise from the elevator in my sister room 300 or the guy with the jack hammer outside for hours after check in. Plus the very poor maintenance & cleaning standards mold on the ceiling

Hotel is right in the centre of King's Lynn and offers direct access to the Town Centre. The Hotel has charm and the staff are very good, and make the effort to help you relax in your stay at the premises. The Hotel frontage and bar/reception dining areas are of a good quality and are well kept. Sadly the back of the Hotel is slightly dated and the rooms lack one or two of the facilities one would expect from a larger hotel chain, such as a safe in the rooms and packaged soaps, disposable coasters etc. So overall, a good Hotel in the centre of King's Lynn, that will provide you with a pleasant stay during your time in the Town.
