The location of the hotel was ideal for exploring the city. Next to the cathedral and near to restaurants and shops. The staff were very helpful and informative. The breakfast choice was good, albeit it was biased to hot food. The hotel had a restaurant with a good menu choice. Plenty of car parking which included EV charging. Guests paid a reduced fee for parking.

Once an important medieval trading centre, Norwich remains a popular shopping destination. The Chapelfield centre is the newest addition, whereas a historic shop sells the city’s most famous export: Colman’s Mustard. Castle Mall is underground, in a hill topped with a keep, part of the 12th-century castle founded by William the Conqueror.
Dating to the same era is the large cobbled square housing a 6-day market. It was said that Norwich had a church for every week, and while that is no longer true, over 30 medieval churches still exist. The cathedral was built using stone from Normandy and boasts England’s 2nd largest cloisters and 2nd tallest spire.
Colourful medieval façades line Elm Hill and the Guildhall is another fine example of the period. Half-timbered Dragon Hall was a trading hall, while St Andrew’s and Blackfriars Halls constitute England’s most intact friary. The 14th-century Cow Tower sits by the River Wensum upstream from Pulls Ferry, the train station and Norwich City FC.
Reportedly, Norwich once had a pub for every day, and today’s traditional inns and modern bars are certainly popular with the student population. Other entertainment options include the Theatre Royal and Playhouse.
Norwich accommodation on Booking.com includes historic hotels with pools, city centre guest houses and riverside apartments, all near to Norwich Airport.
Norwich, a pleasant surprise, the town and city was better...
Norwich, a pleasant surprise, the town and city was better then I/we expected, the old town reminded me of York, lots of independent shops, lots to browse, places to eat, would be a shoppers heaven. There is also the newer part of the city, with arcades and most of the usual shops. My main delight was Jarrolds Department store, (not many left) well worth a visit if your looking for something special! Then there was the market, an-other nice surprise! I have also never encountered so many Churches, including the lovely Norwich Cathedral! Also there are lots of beautiful buildings and some amazing architecture! The castle was closed due to repairs but looks very imposing on the hill. I/we have only seen a small portion of Norwich, but are looking to return later in the year and will be staying a few extra days! I'd say, if you like a nice friendly City with lots of culture & shopping, try Norwich! :-)

This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it.
This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it. The Maids Head hotel where we stayed was a real find situated as it is right next to the wonderful cathedral in Tombland.
Norwich itself is a vibrant city which seemlessly marries ancient and modern in a way that really works. There is so much to see and do. If you have £100,000 to spend on a diamond ring you can find one but if you just want an authentic gelato you can find that too about 50mtrs away. The market area is legendary and has a massive street food section where you can sample anything from pie and peas to Asian cuisine. We loved the whole place and will be back again.

Olive Cafe and Haggle restaurant were two stand out options for food. Try the bubble and squeak at Olive. Olive's breakfast option was enourmous.
We had four starters and two main courses at Haggle. Every one was superb. Staff very friendly and efficient.
Maids Head was a great location for our stay. Adjacent to the Cathedral and any amount of the historical walks outlined for free on the Norwich Society website.

Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market.
Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market. People are very very friendly and helpful. It's a nice city to just wander everywhere, and easy to find your bearings.
Lots of information and a wonderful monument to Edith Cavell, the brave nurse executed by the Germans.
Many varied eateries to match your hunger level or kind of dining experience you want, from street takeaways to tea cafes to fine dining.
I enjoyed my stay in Norwich; no pressure, and I had a very fine studio apartment called Wellington Apartments, which is directly behind Norwich Cathedral.

Two days in Norwich was just right for us to explore the historic interests, shop the Shambles and get a feel for the culture and atmosphere. I'm not sure why it's not a top tourist recommendation as there is lots of charm and history in a relatively small and easy to explore town. Maybe the cobble stone streets being a little hilly are more difficult for the elderly that aren't used to the European way of walking so much, but it seems everyone got around well.

Tombland area was pleasant
Tombland area was pleasant
The cathedral was utterly beautiful
However the city in general looked tatty,dirty and uncared for.
The rubbish bins overflowed
The graffiti was everywhere
The hen and stag parties were lewd and loud.
The pubs were shabby and over crowded
There seems to be a dearth of good restaurants and bars.
Overall..very disappointing.
The city looked neglected and we were very disappointed.
Delightful hotel which is very old and furnished in a sympathetic style suiting the hotel. Staff were amazingly attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The cooked breakfast was delicious as were the self service items such as cereal, juice etc. Although off the beaten track, it is only 3-4 miles from Norwich City centre which is ideal if you want to stay in secluded peace and quiet in the evening. Getting a taxi into the city centre was quick and easy!
The location of the hotel gives great access to the city centre on foot/bus and quick access elsewhere by road. The bar and restaurant area is very pleasant, with an outside seating area. The staff were excellent and always helpful. It was real service with a smile. Breakfast and evening meal were consistently good. I was in a single room, which was a good size and had everything I needed.
The room and restaurant facilities were exceptional. Understanding this stay was during the Covid lockdown and as I was in Norwich for work I was looking for an economical choice. The room itself is comfy, clean and well ventilated. The only annoyance was the other guests trumping around the hallways late at night slamming doors. Understand this was nothing to do with the staff or hotel
An absolute gem of a hotel, well located on the edge of the city centre and with free parking. The staff are, without exception, excellent. They are polite, friendly and professional. The hotel has a lovely, welcoming vibe about it and the food is excellent, as are the beds, shower, bar and wifi. You won't find better value and service anywhere.
Lovely period building in a central location, lovely part of Norwich city centre. Near to everything but quite peaceful. 24 hour parking at £10 in the car hotel park was useful for us too.
Our bedroom was spacious, light and well insulated. No noise disturbance at all and we slept very well.
Very nice staff: friendly and helpful.
Great location if you’re looking for a quiet stay, the pub is in a small village outskirts of Norwich but just under 30 mins to city centre. Staff were so lovely and the room was amazing. We had breakfast and a meal whilst we stayed and the food was lovely. Credits to the couple who own the pub - thankyou :)
This hotel is far more upscale than I am accustomed to. It is lovely, the restaurant is very good. The location is far if you walk from the train station, although probably convenient if you drive. It is outside the center city area, quiet and pleasant.
Really spacious townhouse, beautifully refurbished, in a great location for both the waterfront and city centre. The dedicated parking space right outside was particularly handy, as parking in Norwich city centre can be a challenge!
Loved the hotel, very cosy. The bedrooms are very comfortable and my friend was thrilled when she got a free upgrade to a feature room. Staff were very helpful. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Norwich City Centre.
The staff were very welcoming and they made such a fuss of our dogs. The hotel is beautiful and grounds are stunning, we had a lovely early morning walk around the golf course. The room was clean and towels provided.
The host provided a parking spot with a permit, which was very convenient. The flat was sparkling clean, comfortable, and located in the heart of Norwich. Despite being in the city centre, it was nice and peaceful.
Lovely building, room was clean and comfortable with plenty of storage. We also liked the lounge area, a cosy venue to chat with friends during the NYE ball. Great location for shopping in Norwich.
Everything was spotlessly clean, crisp white bed linen and towels, spacious bright accommodation exactly where we wanted to be location wise. Would definitely book again if I return to Norwich!
The rooms were clean and tidy with plenty of space to get ready for the day.
The location of the hotel is just down the street from the train station and more or less in the city centre.
The proximity to the city centre and how quick it was to reach all parts of it. A very comfortable hotel with a pleasant staff. An easy way to spend a good time in Norwich.
modern looking building, friendly greeting, thoughtful extras to buy outside the room for the bathroom, less than 10 mins drive/taxi to Norwich City Centre
