Chris K, Liverpool, visiting Norwich Arts Centre

We went to an event at the Norwich Arts Centre and I originally booked this hotel due to its proximity to the Arts Centre. What a stroke of luck - our room was overlooking the cathedral; nice and spacious; great bed! We went into the bar and grabbed a quick bite to eat - loved the bar and the food was great; all the staff were very helpful and friendly; can't recommend this hotel enough. Thank you for a great stay.

Liked: Fabulous room with a great view.

Liked: If you have the chance to book the Regent Room it's a treat. Not large but divine and very private, filmic somehow ✨

Beautiful hotel, great service and...

Liked: The Bentley drive round Norwich with Colin was excellent. The air conditioned room was bliss.
Disliked: Bathroom could have been cleaner. Waterfall shower head was dirty, bathmat was yellow stained and ripped. Was disappointed in the tasting menu. The chef was clearly busy and it was hot, and he forgot we were doing a taster menu and served a full course for the middle course. The waitress apologised as she realised what had happened but we couldn't eat any more after that. What we did have was lovely, it just wasn't the experience we had hoped for.
