Very disappointing hotel

Everything in this hotel was terrible. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok nothing special for £25 for two people. £105 for one night in a very uncomfortable bed is a joke. The toilet in the common area was clogged with poo We do not recommend this hotel

Could be lovely if refurbished.

Hotel rather tired although it could be made very nice indeed. Room ok although again, in need of refurbishment. Toilet seat broken, no chain on basin plug so difficult to get out with sink full of water. Bath had standing water in, maybe from a leaking tap? We didn’t use it. Tables in bar and restaurant very sticky.

Thetford stay

We've stayed here a few times and the hotel has lots of history. Unfortunately, it now needs some updating and repair. There were a few areas of the hotel which were obviously not tended. For example, there were tiles which had fallen onto the floor of the gents toilet. They were still loose on the floor 4 days later! Apart from Madison who worked in the bar and was very helpful and friendly, the rest of the staff were really miserable and unfriendly. The girl on reception was unfriendly and uninterested! The bar seemed to have no set hours. Sometimes it closed at 10:15, other times at 12:00. We saw a number of customers refused drinks when the bar should have been still open, especially for residents! Doubt if we'll stay there again 😰

I was staying whilst on a business trip. My room was in the main building and was not flat. The room had a slope in it which made me feel very dizzy. The furniture was dated and the bed was uncomfortable. The bar was a very pleasant experience and I enjoyed the food and beer garden.

Just want we needed staff were fantastic and really went the extra mile to accommodate our early arrival and had the room ready for us. Room was nice and big and comfortable.

There for Dads Army tour visit

We stayed Saturday 12th April for just the one night. Ample car parking and a warm welcome at reception. We had room 11 with a balcony it is very basic but clean. A bath with shower overhead plenty of wardrobe space and drawers. A sofa bed and coffee table by the window. No hairdryer available in the room and only one hand towel. We didnt have dinner in the hotel but chose a local restaurant. Breakfast was cooked to order, nice to see strawberries and blueberries along with yogurt. A comfortable stay but needs some TLC its looking a little tired. We liked Thetford itself lots to see if you like history we were visiting as we had tickets booked for Dads Army tour. Highly recommended great museum too.

Returned to home town for school reunion so knew the hotel was central and in a good location, staff on reception were very helpful and friendly but generally the hotel just seemed tired and in need of decoration, shower was warm despite a sign warning you to be careful of hot water and the bath was worn and stained and furniture had handles missing and was chipped. Appreciate it is an old building so furniture and decoration is in line with age of property
