Lovely hotel, clean tons and very helpful staff. Problem was the noise. There was a party in the evening and you could hear the music from the room so had to go out until well after midnight. Other noise issues - it’s a long tone since I’ve stayed in a room where the walls are so thin you can hear snoring from a neighbour 😱

Superb location near Norwich Cathedral. Lovely characterful old building complex which was spotless. Friendly staff and a decent breakfast buffet (just steer clear of the awful ketchup and brown sauce). However , if you are going to put an iPad in each room which supposedly has guest information, then make sure it's charged for use. I reported this on the day of arrival, and it was not rectified over the next three days. Whichever stylist or designer thought it was a good idea to have the whole surface of the bathroom mirror dotted with simulated tarnish should be sacked immediately and banned from making any other stupid style over function choices.

We loved the fact it is the oldest hotel in the UK! A beautiful well cared for property in the heart of Norwich. The cathedral visible from our window as well as easy access to the city centre, all within a short walking distance.

Very comfortable hotel, with helpful and plentiful staff, in a good location. Claims to be the oldest hotel in Britain, which might explain why no lifts and thus, several small or modest staircases - both up and down - to get to/from our large and well equipped room. No obvious offer of help with our bags to the room (which might be helpful for some). Never saw a chambermaid but they did a first rate job. There was a function going on one evening which was a bit noisey until late, and then a few doors slamming. The room heating is unusual. Although there is a thermostat in the room, which we tried, in fact you have to telephone reception to change the temperature in the room ! Weird. But overall highly recommended.

Ideal for my needs
Perfect venue for my needs. Was very busy .. they had a couple of weddings there the day I stayed I think, so was a bit noisy until beyond midnight, but room was comfort had everything I needed. The place is a bit of a warren but that’s more about its age and character. Great breakfast.

Overall our stay was lovely, the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was very good. The only disappointment was the fridge didn't work. We psin extra to upgrade our room as it was our anniversary but when we got our champagne out of the fridge it was very warm so this was a little disappointing

Nice enough.
Nice hotel, I did ask the lady at check in to arrange an extra pillow for me which she didn’t do. This is why I have given a 4, A wedding was on at the same time so quite noisy at times and lots of stairs. My friend has a disability so she struggled with this and we did make the hotel aware she was disabled at check in as she needed a disabled car space.
