The hotel offers very comfortable and spotlessly clean rooms at great value for money, but the midnight noise from the lift/stair access can be disrupting. The service is friendly, efficient, and comes with a touch of history. The location is superb for exploring bars, cafes, and shopping in Central Norwich, despite some areas showing signs of wear. The dining experience lacks variety but the reception area exudes charm. Overall, a decent option for those seeking a budget-friendly stay with a convenient central location.
