One of front desk personnel was less than helpful when checking out. We needed a cab to the train station. I was handed a piece of paper with 4 cab cos phone number and told to call myself. One cab company "on vacation", two didn't answer, one said they would be an hour which would have been too late to catch our train back to London. I then asked for walking directions and was told she didn't know where the station was located. Although only ten minutes by car it would have been very difficult to manage with our suitcases. I then asked if someone else in the back office could give me directions. She then sought out someone else to help us. We were about to set off walking when a cab driver on vacation who happened to be in the parking lot on the time heard of our plight and offered to give us a ride. I feel the personnel member was not helpful and certainly should know where the train station is located and how to get there for situations such as these.

I have stayed in several historic town centre hotels and this one is a pleasant surprise. The rooms and decor are clean and modern - well designed and comfortable. What lets this hotel down is the service, particularly at breakfast. Despite one serving staff for every two tables there were empty table uncleared, coffee and some food stations were empty and unrefreshed. Staff didnt show guests to their table and no explanation was given of how the buffet worked or whether ypu could order from the kitchen. I was very unimpressed.

I had booked a room for my son and I, a room they when I booked said slept three so I assumed this would mean a minimum of 2 beds in the room - there was only one double so I had to pay to upgrade the room. WiFi in the lounge part of the hotel was non existent so working would be nigh on impossible. The bedroom we were placed was fine apart from the taps , shower head that were both loose and not fixed in place along with broken shower controls. I’ve stayed at this hotel before and it looks like standards have slipped which is a shame as this is a premium hotel in the centre of Kings Lynn. Please fix the WiFi, both me and the two friends I met there for afternoon coffee remarked that they would avoid using the hotel as a meeting place for that reason alone. A disappointing stat with unexpected additional costs.

Would not class this hotel 4 star. A lot of money has been spent on the communal areas which are very nice. Bedrooms and carpets not so much. Bedding clean and bed comfortable. Stingy with biscuits. Only 1 a day each Lotus biscuits. Room needs decorating, lots of marks on walls. No light over mirror. The light is at the back of you so it is dark.Large mark on ceiling where light fitting had been moved. Chips on woodwork and dirty windows. We also had to pay £15.00 per 24 hrs for security parking which is excessive. Carpets were filthy with lots of stains throughout in communal areas and bedroom. Breakfast was buffet and on the first morning there were no croissants or pastries and it was only 8.45am. My husband had a cooked breakfast which he said was warm. On the second morning there were a few pastries left and no croissants left. My husband had a lukewarm cooked breakfast.

Clean, spacious, comfortable, noisy, odd plumbing.

The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable enough. The shower was strange in that it didn't drain seem to drain while in it. A strange barrier had also been glued in place to stop it overflowing onto the bathroom floor. To use the wifi you had to agree to some pretty egregious breaches of privacy, so I decided not to use it. Thumping music blared until 11pm from a wedding the hotel was hosting. It would have been nice to have been offered an option to relocate upstairs to a more distant floor.

Good Location, But That’s About It

Stayed at the Dukes Head over the weekend for a wedding and was left quite disappointed. Our room’s air conditioning didn’t work, and since it overlooked all the vents, it became uncomfortably hot. Even worse, the water in both the sink and bathroom didn’t drain properly. Despite reporting it twice to reception, nothing was done, and we ended up flooding the bathroom multiple times. It felt like the staff didn’t care. The best part of the hotel is the location – very convenient for getting into town. However, I would strongly recommend skipping the hotel breakfast; The Globe nearby serves two breakfasts for £12, compared to £25 for two at the hotel. Parking is also an issue: it’s very limited on-site and more expensive than using Tuesday Market Place just nearby. Overall, it’s handy for the town, but the poor room conditions and lack of response from staff really let it down.

Ok, wouldn’t stay again

Although the communal areas were in very good condition, the stairwells and rooms are a bit tired. Located next to the lift, the noise of the lift was awful, it sounded as though someone was trying to break into the room every time the lift opened. The hotel has potential but it’s not been reached. Breakfast, which I thought was included turned out to be an additional £30, there’s a Whetherspoons nearby, which would have been much better value for money and better quality. Parking is also an additional charge, so on first look it seems reasonable but by the time I added the additional fee for parking and the costly breakfast, it would have been better to book elsewhere. Location is quite good though.

Nice room. Bathroom was very clean and good condition. Only small issue was there was only 1 mirror which was in the bathroom that was not very well lit at all so was very difficult to apply make up and contact lenses. However the team on Reception gave us a portable small Make up Mirror with light. Very nice Hotel would definitely stay again
