The bed is not comfortable in the slightest ##### Andrea Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Denis 14 May 2025 #### Poor show Was shown to my room by receptionist room was not made up receptionist made up room served behind the bar prepared and served a light evening meal god knows what they would do without her was far to expensive for service provided and very low water pressure for shower a full refund would not be out of order very disappointing ##### Denis Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mr Theo A 4 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Hotel in Darkness The hotel is not staffed from Monday to Thursday so no restaurant or breakfast and reception. We are met by a lovely young lady who checked us in and left. There are a number of good restaurants within easy walking distance. Strange coming into a hotel in darkness, but certainly not off putting. We will stay there again. ##### Mr Theo A Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### geoffrey 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities the property whilst old and historic was in desperate need of a coat of paint windows were filthy the bathroom was dangerous the shower drain cover was broken and a wood screw was used to replace the original one it stuck out and was very sharp as i found out when i stood on it, the room had no airflow / air conditioning the main road was noisy as was the car / house alarm that went off outside our window every 5 minutes from 5am onwards! not great! ##### geoffrey Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Donna 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities All staff were very friendly and helpful. Great communication Rooms were very nice, airy, quality furniture and decor throughout. No air con but fans provided in rooms. Plenty of drawers and wardrobe space. Bathroom spacious with nice shower. No problems parking. Ate one night, both meals nice and i particularly recommend the punjab rajma curry which was delightful. Great location, a quick walk into centre. Minor critiques ..Music and talking outside my room a little loud until 2am but it was a Saturday night so not entirely unexpected and I’m a light sleeper. Other room slept like a baby. Couldn’t find a key card drop off box when reception was closed at checkout. Don’t know why hotels always use such tiny cups in the bedrooms.. I need a mug in the morning! I will happily stay again when next in Thetford. ##### Donna Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian 23 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff here were super friendly but my goodness, the noisy from midnight until 2 in the morning from the washing machines was terrible, an awful Sunday night ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### George 7 Mar 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Dreadful The hotel should not have been open Undergoing refurbishment No hot food at all ##### George Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ricki 11 Sept 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### An odd experience Stayed 3 nights for business. The single staff member on site was very accommodating when we needed to alter the booking date. Unfortunately the rest of the experience was sub par. No hot water for 2/3 days, and the shallow shower tray would overflow onto the floor after 3 minutes so you had to be fast. Arrived back one afternoon to the whole hotel locked up and no one in at all, one of the room keys stopped working so we were stuck in limbo in the hotel stairwell until someone could be reached, 4 phone calls later and a young lad arrived (who was very helpful and professional). Room was not made up one day, and the towels were not changed in the whole 3 days. The restaurant was closed the whole time, this was announced to us via email a couple of days before arrival, and after the booking was made, no breakfast option either so had to eat at the premier inn up the road. The ‘pool’ and ‘gym’ advertised is actually a voucher for the local leisure centre. Will not be returning to this hotel. Building is very nice and traditional, but parking limited. Be wary of glowing reviews for this hotel from new accounts only having made one review ever - fishy. ##### Ricki Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicholas 26 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service The room needs decorating, the pillows need replacing and the windows need replacing, preferably with double glazing to reduce the noise from the busy road outside. ##### Nicholas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Garry 16 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### dont the site is currently a building site.
