Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered spacious, clean rooms with the added luxury of underfloor heating in the bathrooms. While the room was lovely and warm, there were noise disturbances from the nearby public car park. The location was superb, right in the center of Norwich with convenient access to shops and restaurants.
The hotel offers amazing rooms with comfy beds and beautiful decor, but the dark entry passage might be a drawback for solo female travelers. The location is excellent right in the middle of shops and restaurants, perfect for a special city break. The dining options are varied and of good quality, fit for a king, but red meat lovers might find it lacking. Overall, a wonderful stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with a few highlights and minor drawbacks. The location was superb, close to all the main city attractions and surrounded by convenient shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for a short break in Norwich. However, the alternate entry through a dark passage might not be ideal for solo female travelers. The dining options catered to various dietary requirements but could have been better considering the standard of the hotel.
