    Fire alarm going off at 2am with no reason given, very scary as I had my 6 year old daughter with me, 2nd night next door having a part after they got back from a night out, no respect for others asleep, no phone in room to call reception, couldn’t go to reception to report as my 6 year old couldn’t be left alone, other than that was ok

    Location, good breakfast,

    The hotel lift was very jerky felt like it would fail power at times, breakfast wasn't very nice, the room was a nice size although very dirty had a lot of brown stains on the carpet, the radiator was hanging of the wall lots of dirty marks on the walls, hence why the hotel is so cheap I guess

    Staff was friendly, good location opposite sea front, good value for money

    The beds they felt quite hard, the place feels like it could do with a little bit of a referred especially the toilets in the bedrooms. However i cannot complain due to the price I paid for 1 night stay. More pros than cons.

    The staff were friendly and welcoming, the location was good close to the sea and strip. Very clean. I liked the bar and the vibe of the staff and how the help with situation I had with my friend.

    Spacious room, ideal location by sea front
    • Leisure trip

    • Twin Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 1 night

    The breakfast was good but the staff could have been a little more attentive at topping things up e.g orange juice and baked beans, fried eggs (had to be asked). The building is quite old and a little tired but overall very clean. The worrying bit is room maintenance; one of the window security cables was broken from the rotted window frame such that the window could be fully opened on the 2nd floor. On a minor point the shower soap dispenser was detached from the wall and just left in the soap tray, empty.

    The room was clean and spacious with a sea view. The reception staff were very clued in and efficient.

    The breakfast was very basic and I kept finding hairs in my bed. I called up three days in advance to request a fan in our room. I had to ask for this a further three times and nothing was sorted. I finally got given a fan for our room when I asked the cleaner.

    Great location for access to the dog beach and lovely partial sea view.

    Our stay was average. We've stayed in far better places in Great Yarmouth.

    The hotel building needs painting & cleaning, first impressions are very important. The breakfast cereal was in open bowls which is unhygienic in this day & age, people with germs have only got to breathe, cough, or sneeze near it & you've caught something! We paid for a "deluxe sea view room" & only got a standard sea view room! We found it difficult to get parked.

    Our bed was fairly comfortable, the breakfast was average, it gave my partner a dodgy belly, the view was nice, & the location was very good. The man behind the bar was friendly, welcoming & helpful, as were the reception staff.

    Room tired, Hotel in need of modernisation, Bar lacks atmosphere. Doesn’t really capitalise on classic styling inside.

    Right by the Beach, free parking at the front of the Hotel, cheap off peak rates. Staff gave fantastic service.
