Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable, had a funny smell when we arrived, wasn't quite so noticeable when you'd been in there a while but we could smell it each time we went in again, couldn't find the source of it though. Breakfast was lovely, great selection, food was very nice, husband e joyed the full English cooked breakfast. Would have been nice to have a little more selection for cooked meals in the evening.

Had a lovely stay this weekend. The cooked breakfast was lovely! Staff very friendly. I liked the trolley available to help ourselves to top ups of towels, water and extra tea and coffee supplies. Quiet location. Bed was a little creaky, but comfortable, on ground level which was nice too. Bathroom grouting could do with a little de-moulding, and shower heads could be a little higher. Also plug sockets by the bed would also be more helpful. But overall, i cant complain and would stay again!

We were visiting Sprowston for cricket and needed a hotel nearby. We didn’t want to stay too close to the airport. This hotel was ideal. There’s a good size car park. We arrived fairly late, but well before the 9pm cut off point. Reception was empty, but we found a lovely lady to check us in and after being shown to our room, we were able to choose food from the bar menu. The choice was fairly limited, but our lasagne was good. Our room was a large, clean and well appointed and the bed was huge and very comfortable. Breakfast was great: plenty of cereal choices, various options in the coffe machine and full English hot with quality ingredients.
