Best Western Annesley House Hotel

Best Western Annesley House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Annesley is perfectly located for a visit to Norwich. It is a little over a mile from the train station and about a third of a mile from the center of town including the Castle, the Cathedral, Elm Hill, and the market. The rooms were generous and cozy. The cleaning staff helpful and prompt. The full breakfast was a welcome add-on and a good way to start the day. The hotel was quiet. We stayed in the house next to the main building. The staff in the breakfast room were helpful, cheery, and lovely. Skip the dinner. It is not great and there are many better options within walking distance. Some of the front desk staff were almost comically unhelpful and a bit surly. Think Fawlty Towers but other staff filled in the gaps. We would go back in a heartbeat."
