Expensive for what it was
Good location for access to the City, room had not been cleaned properly, cobwebs on the bed side lamp and thick layer of dust on one of the shelves, room was also very cold on arrival. Room itself was average and in my opinion expensive compared to other places i have stayed

Norwich short break
Quick check in. Lovely quiet hotel within walking distance of all amenities. Great location. Bed was very hard. The Wine Press restaurant served delicious food. However, when I arrived at 7.15 I was initially met with surprise by two waiters who said they'd have to check with the restaurant to see if it was okay, as I didn't have a reservation. I was then allowed to enter. I was travelling solo and, for the next hour at least, the restaurant was less than 20% occupied so it seemed an odd reaction for the waiters to have had. Good range of food at breakfast.
