An inviting (and cool) place to stay.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful, went out of their way to make our stay a good one. The air/con was a welcome relief. The lounge area was very inviting. Good breakfast, bed comfy, bathroom spotless. Even a variety of pillows to pick from! Good location for getting around Norwich sights.

Cons:

Can't think of anything.

Good stay.
Pros:

The staff are fantastic! The receptionists, restaurant and bar manager and the waiter in the restaurant both in the evening and at breakfast. So polite and helpful. Food OK. Very close to the stadium.

Cons:

The rooms look tired and need a refit. It also smelled of cigarettes. Not the most attractive location.

The room was fine and a good size. Staff we interacted with were great.

Cons:

Badly let down by housekeeping - we stayed two nights - bed unmade, dirty cups not washed, no shower gel, no milk on second day - a great shame given the positives

Pros:

We stayed 3 nights, excellent location, availability of parking superb, breakfasts fresh, excellent, just a problem with 5th floor water pressure, noisy when loo refilled, which the Manager quickly attended to, and quietened it down, but it became noisy again. Beds very comfortable, bedding and pillows smelled lovely and fresh.As we're in our eighties, we really needed a walk in shower, as we found climbing in and out of the bath very risky, time for the bathrooms to be updated. Yes, we would stay again, and recommend this to friends and family.

Cons:

Noisy plumbing, no walk in shower.
