Stayed here on 5 occasions this was a really disappointing stay.
Room 7 basically an outbuilding garage with open doors so everyone can see in. People next to my room all night so was noisy and people drunk.
Bathroom dirty. No one at reception to talk to about the room so just checked out and left

Once an important medieval trading centre, Norwich remains a popular shopping destination. The Chapelfield centre is the newest addition, whereas a historic shop sells the city’s most famous export: Colman’s Mustard. Castle Mall is underground, in a hill topped with a keep, part of the 12th-century castle founded by William the Conqueror.
Dating to the same era is the large cobbled square housing a 6-day market. It was said that Norwich had a church for every week, and while that is no longer true, over 30 medieval churches still exist. The cathedral was built using stone from Normandy and boasts England’s 2nd largest cloisters and 2nd tallest spire.
Colourful medieval façades line Elm Hill and the Guildhall is another fine example of the period. Half-timbered Dragon Hall was a trading hall, while St Andrew’s and Blackfriars Halls constitute England’s most intact friary. The 14th-century Cow Tower sits by the River Wensum upstream from Pulls Ferry, the train station and Norwich City FC.
Reportedly, Norwich once had a pub for every day, and today’s traditional inns and modern bars are certainly popular with the student population. Other entertainment options include the Theatre Royal and Playhouse.
Norwich accommodation on Booking.com includes historic hotels with pools, city centre guest houses and riverside apartments, all near to Norwich Airport.
Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market. People are very very friendly and helpful. It's a nice city to just wander everywhere, and easy to find your bearings.
Lots of information and a wonderful monument to Edith Cavell, the brave nurse executed by the Germans.
Many varied eateries to match your hunger level or kind of dining experience you want, from street takeaways to tea cafes to fine dining.
I enjoyed my stay in Norwich; no pressure, and I had a very fine studio apartment called Wellington Apartments, which is directly behind Norwich Cathedral.

Two days in Norwich was just right for us to explore the historic interests, shop the Shambles and get a feel for the culture and atmosphere. I'm not sure why it's not a top tourist recommendation as there is lots of charm and history in a relatively small and easy to explore town. Maybe the cobble stone streets being a little hilly are more difficult for the elderly that aren't used to the European way of walking so much, but it seems everyone got around well.

Tombland area was pleasant
Tombland area was pleasant
The cathedral was utterly beautiful
However the city in general looked tatty,dirty and uncared for.
The rubbish bins overflowed
The graffiti was everywhere
The hen and stag parties were lewd and loud.
The pubs were shabby and over crowded
There seems to be a dearth of good restaurants and bars.
Overall..very disappointing.
The city looked neglected and we were very disappointed.

Nice friendly city easy to get around and lots of nice restaurants and bars and good shops
Castle museum does a twilight option so can get in for £2.50 instead of £7-50 excellent value! As a Bank Holiday unable to enjoy the market will have to go for another visit!

City is not the quaint picture postcard cobbled streets you imagine. Sadly the closure of major department stores in the centre gives feeling of neglect. Every street has empty premises. Major fast food outlets dominate and individual restaurants hard to find. Cathedral and its area is beautiful and well maintained. Street market jaded and short of shops. Locally owned Jarrold store worth a visit. Buses to outlining areas very good. Parking for cars difficult as in any city. Local people are very welcoming and stay can be used as centre for visiting the Norfolk Broads and outlying areas.

Such a historic, rich, cultural place which was greatly enhanced for me by staying in the Colegate area with it's historic churches, squares, and leafy river walks . Else where there are two cathedrals and also public and private galleries where I saw some excellent exhibitions. There is an independent cinema with a very good art house movie programme constantly being updated and a beautiful bar. There are many wonderful cafes where you can chill with high quality beverages and patisseries. There is also the plantation Garden which I shall reserve for my next visit and the Castle Museum and Art Gallery with it's lovely gardens. The shopping is also very good.
Great location in the city centre, very near the Theatre Royal. The building itself is stunning and our room (Room 11) was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable, lovely toiletries and fantastic shower, plenty of room in a historic part of the house. The food was very good and beautifully presented. The staff were all great and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. We would definitely consider staying there again if we were in Norwich.
This is not a luxury hotel, but then it's much cheaper than many centrally located hotels in Norwich. There is no breakfast option, but rooms include a kitchenette so you can fix your own breakfast at a time that suits you. My room was clean, quiet with a good comfortable bed & Samsung smart TV (with Netflix). The heating worked well, nice walk-in shower with plenty of hot water. Friendly staff and a late check-out is a reasonable £15 extra.
The room and restaurant facilities were exceptional. Understanding this stay was during the Covid lockdown and as I was in Norwich for work I was looking for an economical choice. The room itself is comfy, clean and well ventilated. The only annoyance was the other guests trumping around the hallways late at night slamming doors. Understand this was nothing to do with the staff or hotel
Staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Hotel was easy to navigate, good location for driving around. Plenty of space to park. Norwich has lots of cheap car parks so driving into centre for food was easy. Sports centra had a huge well equipped gym. Pool and spa facilities were all working as they should and were as expected. Breakfast was good selection and good quality.
Excellent stay, could not fault it. Alex the manager was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean (even under the bed) which is very rare 😉 Also being able to park on site was a bonus, and just a few minutes walk into the town centre.
I have already recommended the hotel and will definitely be staying here again. Well done Alex and team 👏
Location was good. We were going to the concert "Lets Rock Norwich" and the park was a walk away. The house was very homely, well equipped and clean. the furnishings was nice and the main bedroom had an ensuite toilet and then there was also a bathroom on the same floor and on the ground floor. We were 4 people one couple and 2 singles and the space was great.
Great location if you’re looking for a quiet stay, the pub is in a small village outskirts of Norwich but just under 30 mins to city centre. Staff were so lovely and the room was amazing. We had breakfast and a meal whilst we stayed and the food was lovely. Credits to the couple who own the pub - thankyou :)
Nice room, comfortable bed, very clean. Excellent breakfast. Most of the staff very pleasant and helpful. Quiet location but easy enough to get to Norwich city centre by taxi. (There is also a bus, 44A, which runs through the village between Aylsham and Norwich.
Lovely hotel just on the edge of the city centre. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Friendly helpful staff. Brilliant breakfast. Plus on-site parking is a bonus. Couldn’t ask for more. I will always this hotel for all my visits to Norwich.
Great location for gig at Epic Studios - really funky part of Norwich with great pubs and restaurants. Clean and comfy house with loads of nice welcoming touches. Coffee machine a bonus as well as the supplies left in the kitchen.
Loved the hotel, very cosy. The bedrooms are very comfortable and my friend was thrilled when she got a free upgrade to a feature room. Staff were very helpful. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Norwich City Centre.
Staff all very friendly and helpful. Location, near the ring road, ideal for travelling to all parts of Norfolk. Buses into Norwich city centre every 15 mins from the Park & Ride, literally just across the road from the hotel.
Cozy hotel right in the centre of Norwich, right next to the train station. Hotel staff is, when present, very nice and helpful. Ideal location for exploring Norwich, would recommend for a short stay. Good value for money.
The apartment was roomier than I expected, larger than a basic studio apartment and better than a hotel room for the same cost. It was spotlessly clean and well situated for the city centre pubs and restaurants.
Lovely building, room was clean and comfortable with plenty of storage. We also liked the lounge area, a cosy venue to chat with friends during the NYE ball. Great location for shopping in Norwich.
Great location, with easy access into city centre. Hotel mostly clean - some large cobwebs in our room in the high ceilings. Bed was comfy. Breakfast was good, staff friendly.
Lovely clean apartment and a great location! Easy access and free parking. Thank you for making our stay in Norwich so comfortable. A great night's sleep in a quiet location.
