This was our third visit to Norwich and we stayed in Holiday Inn Express again. Great location for us. Service is good as usual. Breakfast had limited choice compared to other Holiday Inns (veggie sausages not great!) Our room was on the side near to David Lloyd’s which didn’t bother us until they played very loud music at 9am disturbing our sleep! If staying again I will request a room on the other side.

Nice stay. Outside let it down

Room nice size & clean. But from about 6am, we could hear bassy music presuming from the gym next door. Outside of property was a mess, the bin was over flowing & cigerette buts all over. Not a welcoming sight. The disabled spot was taken by someone without/not displaying blue badge
