Pros:

Location good

Cons:

Room not serviced at all during 4 day stay even when requested.
No blind in shower room, only lightly frosted glass
in window directly over bars outside sitting area, ok for exhibitionists.
Room very hot no fan.
Shortages at breakfast e.g no orange juice for 3 days only apple juice 1 day. No fruit, not much choice of cereal.
Steep narrow stairs leading to rooms really difficult especially with luggage.

Lovely location
Pros:

Lovely spot right on Sutton Staithe. Decent menu and food for an evening meal.

Cons:

Pretty basic room, said water view or terrace view but we just had a big felt roof with a glimpse of the water.

Good location, check about food availability
Pros:

Comfortable room, good shower, good wifi, great view, nice flowers.

Cons:

No food available despite being stated it was on booking.com which was very disappointing, so don't go on Sunday evening or Monday if you want a meal! Staff had no suggestions of where else to go.
Bar / restaurant area was very dark and decor/ furniture did not fit the old building.

Nice, traditional hotel right by the water.
Pros:

Great location right by the water (good location for kayak launching, I think, if you have the permit) and ample parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Would be happy to stay there again.

Cons:

The mirror light in the bathroom didn't work. It's a self-checkout system (key drop-off) so didn't have the chance to flag this up to the staff. The bar / restaurant closes quite early (on some nights), so when we got there it was shut.

A perfect location and lovely hotel
Pros:

The location was perfect for coast and country, the staff were brilliant especially the hard-working waiter who seemed to work 24/7 with a smile on his face.

Cons:

The hotel could do with some TLC but was absolutely fine... It is an old building after all.

Pros:

The room was nice, but very hot when we arrived on Friday.
Bathroom and shower was very spacious.

Cons:

We had a meal Friday night and breakfast on Saturday, which were good. At breakfast the member of staff did seem to struggle on their own.
We didnt see a member of housekeeping staff during our stay Friday to Monday.
If there had been a fridge in our room we would have managed better, as it was so hot.

Sutton Staithe Hotel
Pros:

Hotel is in a picturesque location with the broads on its doorstep. Our room had a large bedroom and ensuite.. Very near the coast.

Cons:

Not a dislike but could have had a small table in the bathroom for women's paraphernalia! Also the exceptional heat meant that the room was very hot. The windows don't open so a fan would have been useful

Pros:

Great location, lovely old building, loved the maze of corridors and stairs especially the stair literally into the bar almost. There's a friendly atmosphere and easy parking.

Cons:

Not really anything to dislike and not going to be picky!
