I was particularly taken that on a cold late afternoon someone had gone in and turned the heating on to make the bedroom cosy. Thank you, that was appreciated.
Breakfast was of a surprisingly high standard and variety for £10 per head.

Norwich central hotel
Really enjoyed our time in Norwich. The central hotel was great, staff were superb, room was so clean and comfortable. Slept so good and its been difficult to get good sleep away from home, so definitely a nig plus! Overall a very good experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Just the Job!
A lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly staff and couldn't be better situated - only 2-3 minutes walk from rail station and very close to the city centre. Also immaculately clean and very reasonably priced and immaculately clean.

Clean but small rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. Easy walking to city centre. Street parking available but ask in advance
Very pleased with this booking - staff very helpful and welcoming. 2 minute walk to Norwich train station - would highly recommend.

City stay
Great hotel in a great location for visiting the city. Only downside’s were no hairdryer in the room and bathroom a little tired. Bed was comfortable and room nice and warm. Would recommend the room with river view.

Really lovely. A perfect, affordable, no frills stay. I paid just a little extra for the en suite than a shared bathroom and it was definitely worth it. Really cosy bed and friendly staff.
Nice B+B very central. Cleanliness was great. Only thing we commented on was there wasnt enough toliet roll in the bathroom. Could do with a spare one in there.Nice touch with the toiletries and tea and coffee and biscuits. Although the cups could of been bigger.Nice view overlooking the river too. We will definitely stay again.
