Staff are very friendly, the room was clean and perfect place to set up base in Great Yarmouth. Had a deluxe room with king size bed which was extremely comfortable, bath had jets in it so was lovely to come back and relax in that, (bathroom was huge, could do with a freshen up and leaky pipe behind toilet that had a towel over it need sorting) Overall had a lovely stay here and would stay again

Positives are clean, good location and free parking. Negatives are a bit run down and noisy with banging doors.

The property was adequate for the needs of my trip. I booked a family room, and it appears that all family rooms are on the 3rd floor, but there was no lift which is very awkward for people with small children, lots of luggage and the elderly.

First of all the Hotel was closed. And to top it off you got moved to a different Hotel. Worst room even. On the third floor no lift , dirty carpets. The room was big enough for a midget to stand up in , never mind when you over 6 ft. Never again

I need my refund the Let me know one day before That my room is not available and I have to cancel the booking. I have not cancel the booking because I don’t know how to do it but first of all why they cancelled me and said to me that I’m not be able to go there, the booking was almost 2 weeks and they let me know one day before that we arrived in great Yarmouth terrible.

We checked in but decided not to stay and booked alternative accommodation instead. The room itself was tidy; however, the overall property was very different from how it appeared in the listing photographs. The atmosphere and communal areas did not reflect what we expected based on the description and images provided. The advertised restaurant was not operating, the TV in our room had no signal, the Wi-Fi was not working, and there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in the corridor outside the room. As I was travelling with my son, who has additional needs, I did not feel comfortable remaining at the property and chose to leave shortly after arrival. I appreciate that others may have a different experience, but I personally felt the accommodation was not accurately represented by the listing and would not have booked had I known its true condition.
