Not a four star, but a perfectly decent 3 star.

The good: plentiful free parking. Staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast had a good range and vegan options were available. Location was good (6 mins from Norwich city centre). Beds were firm and pillows were decent. The bad: the bathroom in a standard room is like one of those puzzles you used to get in the 90's. The ones where you had a flat plastic square and there were several tiles, and you have to move them into the correct position to form the picture. Remember those? That's like the bathroom. It's very small. Getting into the shower takes some serious manoeuvring and to be frank, if you're a little bit chunky, you might struggle. The ugly: cleanliness generally was very good. There was a hair ball in the bathroom that (hopefully) was from the previous occupants hairbrush so it wasn't perfect. I wasn't particularly bothered by it, but if you're a bit fussy or a bit "Monica" you might not think that's good enough. Perfectly good hotel for a weekend. Would probably consider somewhere else (or a more expensive room) for anything longer.

A fantastic overnight stay with friends. Welcoming check-in Ecen though she was on her own and busy it was quick and efficient. Room clean and spacious enough and great to have aircon with the exceptitional 30° heatwave! Pool area is a little dated and in need of some tlc but pleasent enough. We stayed on the DB&B offer and enjoyed our meal. Would definitely come back and stay here again when visiting Norwich.
