Norwich Stopover
Pros:

Very friendly, happy, helpful staff, especially Rebecca who was exceptional.

Lovely location right by the river, a large garden with plenty of tables.

Cons:

The outside of the building and window frames are in need of some attention.

The menu was fairly limited, no healthy options such as jacket potatoes, salad etc. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, tea and coffee weren't included and no yogurt, fruit or cereals available.

Good location, friendly helpful staff, hotel side of the business needs some updating.
Pros:

Very friendly helpful staff and a great location. It is on a bus route, not far from Norwich city centre and station. There are nice pubs and restaurants within easy walking distances too.

Cons:

There is a car park for visitors to the restaurant but not for guests. We stayed 4 of the 5 nights booked and parking was on the road outside. You cannot fault the staff but the hotel is tired and does not look like the photos on the website. It was boiling and there is no air con, we couldn’t open our window more than a couple of inches so the pedestal fan had an impossible task. The worst bit was finding that the toilet hadn’t been cleaned, it was gross. The lovely lady tried to move us to another room but neither she nor I could open the door. This meant she then had to clean the toilet. Not part of her role and we felt for her.

Pros:

Very pleasant riverside garden, perfect for what was a very warm evening. The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The bed mattress was old and sagging which made for a poor night's sleep. There was also a slight odour of cooking oil in the room. I think I was at the same end of the building as the carvery kitchen below.

Lovely to be right on the river. Some improvement needed to the hotel itself to match its location.
Pros:

Beautiful location!

Cons:

Very warm. Particularly in the corridor but also in the room itself. The sofa bed is not big enough for two. Could the room be rearranged to accommodate two singles (in the way that Premier Inn does family rooms?)

Disapointing
Pros:

Breakfast was ok. The view was nice from the restaurant, could see the river. Large outdoor space.

Cons:

Room was dirty and small. Bathroom was dirty, and silicon peeling. Smell along corridors to the rooms. Very small dirty room considering price paid.

Staff & breakfast are a credit to hotel in need of some renovation.
Pros:

The views

Cons:

The shower at the front corners, was severe peeling and rust. The window frames need serious attention in the rooms and the restaurant. Just all need attention. The mattress was very hard. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very helpful

Lovely stay along the river
Pros:

Spacious clean room with everything we needed for our 2 night stay! Plenty of amenities in the area too, especially liked the Riverside Pantry for coffee and brunch.

Cons:

Room was extremely warm and window restriction meant it was difficult to ventilate, so unfortunately meant we had a poor night sleep on both nights of our stay. Installing air conditioning unit would almost be a must to make the stay more comfortable, especially in the summer months.
