Every aspect was just perfect. The Art Deco Sunrise suite was amazing with views of the sea, the staff were very hospitable and the food excellent. Would certainly use this brilliant hotel again.

Pros:

On arrival we were warmly greeted.
We were given a surprise upgrade to a beautiful suite of rooms, all decorated in the art deco style. All the staff here are genuinely helpful, curteous & approachable.
We have been here several times, at different times of the year. We love being near the sea.
The downside is the actual town itself, which has deteriorated over the past few years.
This will not deter us from returning to this comfortable home from home hotel.

Disappointed with view
Pros:

Asked for sea views. It did indeed have sea view looking through rusting metal work of the fire escape! We had the only bedroom window on that side of the building with the old fire escape across it. My fault - I asked for sea view not unobstructed sea view. Unless you like old rusty metal work avoid room 206.
However excellent cooked breakfast - hot and very tasty. Friendly breakfast staff.

I think the property could add a ‘ library’ to give people something to read … it was a very pleasant stay …the weather was generally good but in different weather it might have been a bit boring !

Nice Hotel, Great location. Poor breakfast
Pros:

The hotel was very nice, we paid over £300 for 2 nights, so we expected a nice breakfast, but the breakfast was poor. We had to ask for the orange juice and fruit cocktail to be replenished both mornings even though we were early.
The hot food and coffee that was ordered came to the table warm & not hot.

Pros:

All staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The hotel was in good condition and clean. For a hotel all meal and drink prices were reasonable.
Ideally placed for a walk along one of the best beaches in Norfolk and very short drive into G Yarmouth or Lowestoft.
The new children’s water fun area is brilliant for the little ones and free.

Pros:

Great staff, dated rooms, locked in hotel room which is a safety issue should the be a fire, reception not answering phone for help, luckily I knew someone at the same hotel, it will be reported to HSE,
I’ve been stopping here many time, again staff were great but management should sort out issues.

Pros:

My stay at the Pier Hotel was very pleasant. The staff were excellent & the room was clean. The only complaint I have is that the bathroom had a long window which was clear glass & the blind had to be permanently pulled down otherwise anyone walking past can see someone sitting on the toilet or having a shower.
