Suzanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Second time stay at this lovely hotel which is adjacent to Norwich Cathedral. Great breakfast, pricey evening meals mitigated by two restaurants less than 3 minutes walk away. Lots of stairs to contend with, visitors should be warned.

Great location, staff and amenities. Hotel is beautiful and very well maintained.

10/10 Excellent

The room was excellent, spacious, luxurious, clean. I had limited contact with the staff but they were helpful and polite. Whilst I realise it's a listed building the outside looks a little tired. Location is very good.

Great central hotel
Melanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was totally unique. Our room was excellent with all the mod cons one would expect to see in a hotel room. The communal areas were very inviting. The breakfast was very good offering a bit of everything. All the staff we had dealings with were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel is situated in a prime position right by the cathedral. The castle, museum, shopping and restaurants and bars are all within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Fantastic hotel

The staff were great, it was my wife’s birthday and they upgraded our room to a feature room for free and they had left a handwritten birthday card in the room. Very nice hotel would definitely stay there again.
Luke, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I was thoroughly enchanted by this hotel, old in history, but modern staff and service. The friendliness of the staff was truly appreciated. The opportunity to rest and socialize in a building of such historical warmth was truly a pleasure. Brian Gordon Sinclair Playwright

I of the two single rooms, 3rd floor was small and not as good as I would have expected. The 2nd floor single for the same price was much better appointed, hence the loss of one star
