    Though there was WiFi listed on the hotel listing, there was no WiFi to speak of during my whole stay. Because the building is older it creaks a lot and if there is noise in neighbouring rooms, you'll hear it very well. There's also a nearby nursery so if you don't fancy being woken by the chatter or crying of excited toddlers at eight in the morning because you're a light sleeper like myself, it might be wise to bring earplugs. The hotel is not wheelchair accessible and might give people using a cane some trouble.

    Staff is very friendly and the breakfast is lush, with lots of options. Breakfast is made fresh every morning using locally sourced and homemade ingredients. Some days, tea was already waiting for me at the table once I got down to the breakfast room due to the attentiveness of staff. The bedroom itself was very spacious, with a nice big television and a big plush bed that was very comfortable. On arrival, there was a piece of cake and some fruit waiting to greet me. The building is older, with older wooden floors and narrow stairwells, but that just adds to the character of it. It was really lovely!

    A beautifully appointed room in a perfect city centre location, friendly and efficient staff, plus a delicious breakfast. We enjoyed a little bit of luxury for a special occasion and 38 St Giles met our expectations in full.

    The common entrance passage could do with a good clean, entrance shared with a plant nursery and a crèche. The bedroom and bathroom were really small, and suitable only for one (small) person. It’s the smallness of the room that makes it poorer value for money. Check in worked smoothly and the personal touch was appreciated.

    Central location. Old property very nicely renovated with good quality materials and striking contemporary style whilst still respecting the age of the building. Good shower. Comfortable bed and pillows. Generous very well prepared breakfasts. Helpful staff at check in, breakfast and check out.

    We booked a small room but I wish the toilet was a bit further from the bed or maybe a better extraction system in the loo.

    The property and the room was beautiful, the cooked to order breakfast was very good and the location was excellent for getting into central Norwich. We used Bethel St. carpark on justpark. 3min walk to the hotel.

    Pillows were not good. Too flat.. I would suggest down pillows. The bed was too hard for me but that happens with most hotels etc. It was we were informed a new bed.

    Location was fantastic. Breakfast was divine. Room was comfortable. Bathroom lovely and clean.

    Window in the bathroom above.

    This was a lovely elegant property with loads of character. The breakfasts were excellent and freshly made. The only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating was that, in our room, Boudicca, the window in the bathroom didn't close properly and was difficult to reach. We happened to be there on a very windy night so there was some inevitable rattling. Otherwise the bed was very comfortable and the room spacious.

    I wasn’t so keen on the breakfast. I stayed here before and remembered it being delicious and it was presented well but the toast was soggy and the sausage didn’t seem very cooked which was off putting. Such a shame as everything else was wonderful.

    All the little details and touches in the rooms are just brilliant. The little mini water bottle cooler for the milk, the little brownies (delicious!) and the comfy bedding, perfect lighting.

    We were only offered continental breakfast so check on booking if this isn’t your thing. The building is Victorian so the stairs are steep, not a problem for us but something else to consider, especially if you travel with heavy bags!

    Brilliant location, fabulous room and bathroom. Nice touch to arrive to fresh cake to have with tea or coffee. We would definitely stay again.
