Really cosy

Really lovely. A perfect, affordable, no frills stay. I paid just a little extra for the en suite than a shared bathroom and it was definitely worth it. Really cosy bed and friendly staff.

I wasn’t happy with the overall service. Additionally, I have contacted about a lost item, and they have not been helpful. I came back to Norwich and no one has answered my calls or the door.

Damp issues/Very smelly bathroom

The room and particularly the bathroom smelt terribly of drains and what was obviously a major ventilation /damp problem. Stong air fresheners in the room were horrible and did not mask the problem just made it more horrible. Otherwise room was ok , small bit tatty, reception odd insisting on photo ID though room was paid for. If you have an option to stay elsewhere I'd say do that.

Norwich central hotel

Really enjoyed our time in Norwich. The central hotel was great, staff were superb, room was so clean and comfortable. Slept so good and its been difficult to get good sleep away from home, so definitely a nig plus! Overall a very good experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
