Location on the outskirts of Norwich is not ideal if you want to visit the city, but there are buses and taxis (taxi to station is between £9 and £14 dependent upon the cab company). The hotel is adjacent to a large Asda and David Lloyd sports centre. There are local pubs offering food. Parking is free. Staff are attentive and helpful. Rooms are clean with good bathroom facilities. Breakfast is very good. Food is available of an evening. Worth consideration.

Good, clean room with plenty of space. Storage available, included a shower, wash area and toilet with separate door. We had a family room with a pull out sofa bed that was comfortable and set up on arrival. Breakfast was good with lots of option.Hotel cleaners did try to enter before check out time but left quickly when they saw us in room.

No air! Was very in comfortable in this room without a bit of fresh air . There is a very high ‘air conditioning’ unit that doesn’t move and blows one way across the wall where the tv is and not the room. Very claustrophobic. Couldn’t breathe and was very hot.
