“This Victorian townhouse offers more than just a place to stay; its prime location places you steps from Norwich Train Station and the city center. I found its personalized touches, like extra bedding, to be a thoughtful addition. It's a practical choice for those seeking affordable access to Norwich's cultural heart.”

Decent Location, but Room Issues

small room fluctuating shower
The location was convenient for getting around town. (I walked everywhere.)
My room, the 'Standard Double Room', was quite small. The shower temperature fluctuated wildly, alternating between scalding hot and freezing cold. (It was a fun surprise!) The walls were also thin, and I could hear conversations in the next room.

a nice stay!

efficient process prompt staff super location
i found the automated check-in process very efficient. (it was indeed quite fast!) the staff promptly provided an extra fan when i asked for it. i also appreciated the location very near the train station.
the room had slightly thin windows, and i could hear some traffic noise.

modern bathroom comfy bed clean room thin walls noisy neighbors little sleep
The room was clean and warm. It had everything i needed (tea, coffee). the bathroom was modern. the bed felt comfy, like home from home.
The walls seemed thin. we hardly had any sleep for two nights because of noisy neighbors. we had to knock on the door of the adjacent room at 2am to ask them to be quiet. It worked for about 3 hours, but then they started again.
