Our suite was spotless and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast menu, we also had a family meal one evening, which was delicious. The staff were mega friendly and obliging, nothing was too much trouble. We have stayed there several times and it’s always a pleasure. The Crown is our go-to place when in Norfolk.

Room was clean and well-stocked, both dinner and breakfast were very nice. Staff were helpful. Beautiful town and very charming hotel with lots of character. Only downside was the TV was small and a bit of a pain to work, however for our trip that didn't impact us.

Good location and nice food but let down by tired old rooms. Kept awake all night by the central heating system above me, sounded like someone drilling in concrete. Would be nice to have bottled water in the room instead of drinking out of the sink. Not again for me.
