NO SLEEP
Pros:

Location was fine, atmosphere, food, the room, the bed, the facilities & the staff were all great. The big thing that affected my score was the kitchen extraction system. I stayed in room 119 which overlooked the back of the kitchen area & the extractor. It was very noisy all night & even with the double glazed window closed over, the noise just couldn’t be drowned out so unfortunately I didn’t sleep, ALL NIGHT. A real shame because apart from that, everything else was good.

Comfortable Budget Priced Hotel
Pros:

We only stayed for one night but found the hotel to be clean, comfortable and welcoming. Check in was quick and easy. Our room had everything we needed, although biscuits on the hospitality tray would have been nice. The self service breakfast was delicious with a good selection of items and drinks. Bar area was comfortable with prices that you would expect from a hotel.
We will definitely use this hotel again in the future and it suits our needs.

We need more Grace
Pros:

Premier inn does what it says - a good nights sleep! Bed comfy as ever tea in ready supply and all the basics there. These days having a window is a plus and there was even air from outside to cool things. Only tiny Moan was that the bath water runs at only a sensibly low temperature while I like mine hot hot but I know that’s a safety feature
Warning that phone reception is less than great which leads me to …….
Big shout out though to grace on reception - prompt service at check in bit more important she rescued my meeting with cousin after 35 years by doing everything she could to check where I was and keep him from exploding (as I said I’d be there but had gone out🙄) she maintained confidentiality but still helped us make it happen so BIG thank you. I’ll come back here next time I’m in Norwich (even tho i also like the one near the station!)
Btw - On that - duke street is so handy for the lanes of Norwich without being in the midst of its frenetic late night scene

A fantastic hot breakfast buffet
Pros:

This was our usual great experience with Premier Inn. In addition we found the breakfast to be the best hot buffet we've had at a Premier Inn. The amounts in the buffet dishes were relatively small, so it was replenished very frequently meaning it was all freshly cooked. In addition everything, including the plates, was hot. It was really delicious, so thanks to Chef Robert and Wendy.

Very hot and uncomfortable.
Pros:

The hotel room was ridiculously hot with no heating on! The window barely opened more than an inch so you had to use the fan to push warm air around the room.
It’s a shame really as the hotel is in a great central location but I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay there. For the cost of the room we had almost no sleep at all. There has to be better options in Norwich.

You know you what you get with a premier inn
Pros:

It was our fist stay at this Premier Inn. We chose this hotel as it was a five minute walk to the Holloway where we had a gig.

The hotel does not have onsite parking however there is a multi story car park a couple of minutes walk.

You know what you’re getting with a premier inn. We have stayed in a fair few in different cities.

We stayed in room 106. The room was very clean as was the bathroom. The bed was so comfortable it was just what was needed after a gig.

We checked out oretty early as I wanted to drag the husband around the shops!

Would we stay at this hotel again?! Most definitely

Quality service
Pros:

Quality !
This is my first visit to Premier Inn we Duke Street, all the staff were very polite and attentive, especially Emily who seated me took my order and my payment.
Very friendly and polite as you would hope from Premier Inn, her colleagues who she insisted needed to be included in any review were of a very similar standard, she did give me their names but I seem to have misplaced the card. The food was delicious, I once again had the spring rolls and the ravioli. Parking is at the neighbouring multi story car park. I would be more than happy to stay here again.
