Anonymous (Group of adult friends) 20 August 2008

It was satisfactory. But the tariff seems high for what is very ordinary accommodation. (107142640)

positive comments Hotel was clean.
negative comments Noisy room: sound of flushing toilets from other rooms, doors squeaking, people moving about in room above. Toilet flush not working in room on arrival - though fixed by staff later.

It was terrible noisy. The traffic outside, the people inside and extremly the door bells. It was a terrible noise every minute, when somebody was coming in or coming out also the night. (107255046)

Christine from Stoke-on-Trent, GB (Mature couple) 11 August 2008

Comfortable and pleasant hotel - unattractive seaside resort. (107132756)

positive comments Managment & staff were very pleasant & helpful. Food was of good quality & well prepared.
negative comments Parking facilities were awkward on hotel's own car park - easier to rely on on- street parking which was unpredictable. Although Norfolk held many attractions, Great Yarmouth itself failed to add to them.

Michael from Gravesend, GB (Mature couple) 30 October 2007

The owners of the hotel are a very nice couple.They made us feel very welcome,inquired on a number of occasions,to find out if everything was to our satisfaction etc. They were also very friendly and always seemed to have time for there guests. The hotel is clean and tidy and the staff all very friendly and attentive, without being overly so. The room was adequate in size but not massive,the bathrooms are clean and tidy, but not particulary large. Rooms have free view tv, tea making facilites,and a fridge. The hotel is only a short walk from the sea front, and about 15 minutes walk to the town centre. (97840780)

positive comments Very clean and tidy, Friendly staff
negative comments Bathroom on the small side

JOYCE from SCARBOROUGH, GB (Group of adult friends) 21 July 2007

As we were travelling to attend the races I would have liked to have known how near the couse was. This was not a problem as I sent an email and the reply came back straight away. (97133407)

positive comments I liked the friendly welcome as we arrived and also during our stay. The waitress at breakfast was very good
negative comments The bathroom would be the only thing as it was small
