Relaxing plesant stay
Pros:

Staff were all friendly and welcoming, nice little outdoor area to sit when it is hot, nice and relaxed ambience. I had a air con room which was ideal as it was a hot night. Room small but fine and clean!

Cons:

Pillow was a bit hard but thats more personal preference than the pillows!

Its fine, Ok breakfast if you need it, bit tight on space overall.
Pros:

Easy to find, easy to check in and out
Pleasant ambience.

Cons:

Parking was tight, I parked in the car park when I needed to, but it is a squeeze.
The room was roasting hot on the first two evenings of arriving as the curtains/blinds had been left open and the heating was running. I did ask on the 2nd occasion for the curtains to be left closed and they did do this.

Family stay - alternative to airbnb
Pros:

We stayed in the Garden House, which is a separate building to the main hotel, has 2 bedrooms, including bunk beds for the kids and a living / kitchen area. Everything was lovely and the room is of high quality - especially for the low price. The hotel is very well located and has a free car park also.
Having a fridge in the room, some fresh milk would have been good rather than small UHT cartons, but we got milk from the bar so wasn't a big problem.
Breakfast was great with a lot of choice and included in our rate. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others needing somewhere to stay beyond a single hotel room.

Great break in Norwich.
Pros:

The george Hotel is a fantastic place to have a few days in Norwich. The staff were very helpful from the minute we walked in. The room was lovely and the air conditioning was a really great addition. The seafood shairing platter was the best thing we have eaten in a long time. The pimms drink made for me was delicious with almost a fruit salad in it. Would recommend this gem of a hotel.

Lovely people and very welcoming
Pros:

The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Relaxed atmosphere and very clean.

Cons:

The rooms aren’t sound proofed ( given the age of the building that’s understandable) so not great if you are a light sleeper.

Pros:

The staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. The bed was comfy.

Cons:

I only didn't like that there was no air con because it was immensely hot when I stayed. It was during the heatwave in the UK. They did provide a a fan though.
