Hotels With Bar in Norfolk, United Kingdom

Well, the hotel is a bit old and the sound insulation was not that good. No lift, so u have to take the baggage upstairs yourself through the narrow stairs. Staff gave us some food as breakfast since we needed to catch the train in the morning. Many thanks.

One two problems internet. Not good at all plus no breakfast as advertised on plus side very nice room We visit embassy often the star of hotel is David very helpful kind and hardworking well done David for all your hard work keeping everyone happy hotel dated I know but atmosphere is relaxing

Very friendly, welcoming and efficient staff. The lift was out of order but help with our luggage was offered immediately. Room was immaculate and well equipped, with air conditioning and a comfortable bed. The only inconvenience was no socket for the hairdryer near a mirror. Breakfast was well presented with a good choice of hot and cold items, but more seating would be useful. Staff were clearing tables as quickly as possible, but as it was a warm and sunny morning we ate outside. Would definitely stay here again.

Noise from street outside window until 3.30am, shortly followed by traffic noise, so we got very little sleep! Our 'Heritage' room had neither beams nor a fireplace (as described on website) and was small and awkwardly shaped, with much of the room being taken up by a freestanding bathtub so that the wardrobe was crammed against a wall on the opposite side. The room was unwelcoming to say the least. When we mentioned the street noise on checking out, we were told to ask for a quiet room next time.....there will not be a next time. We booked directly with the hotel and were not told anything about street noise. A fridge with a loud hum was placed on top of a small table next to the wardrobe. Breakfast was adequate but poached eggs were hard. Not a wonderful experience.

Evening food was lovely in the brasserie. The golf course was lovely. We played the hill course. The spa was great. Great range of treatments and people were nice. Location and general feel about Barnham broom is amazing. The smaller sized resort is much better aswell. The 2 downsides: The breakfast was horrendous. The quality of the food and the state it was cooked in was diabolical. (Full english) the hot drinks were also done with little to no care and was not good at all. The bar in the middle of the hotel between the brasserie and the sports bar would be an amazing place to have proper drinks, lovely setting and great for people to have a nice evening drink. This wasn't manned and we were just directed to the sports bar as a couple to get drinks instead...which is more 'laddy' than we wanted for our after evening drinks. Which was a shame.

I cannot understand the negative remarks regarding this hotel, I very much enjoyed my 4 night stay in this imposing hotel. Bedroom attractively decorated and, the Hotel Grail for solo travellers, a king size bed with a sparkling clean modern en-suite. All staff were extremely helpful and approachable, and if you needed extra coffee, etc reception would readily refill immediately. Food throughout was well cooked with some interesting items not usually found on mass catering menus. Given that while i was there, there were 3 coach parties and 2/3 conferences the kitchen deserves a medal Only problem was the dining room at breakfast which is an extremely well stocked buffet, so much choice. I have arthritis and walk with a stick and unfortunately there were stairs between the food and allocated seating area which I negotiated awkwardly with one hand on bannister and stick in other hand. No hands for food. Ladies serving coffee kindly came to my rescue, but it would have been so much easier and less embarrassing for me if a table on the same level as the food had been allocated. My thanks to all staff.

We were delighted with this hotel. Parking with my blue badge was easy and close to reception. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were pleased with the layout and spaciousness of our room.Decor is good, and we had very pleasant meals in the conservatory. We are light eaters and found what we wanted by using the illustrated tablets provided by the staff. We did have a problem, though. As I was pleased with the service for the evening meals I left a tip each time and it was only after I checked the bill at home that I found gratuities had been added. We were not advised of this and saw no advice of it on the tablet menus. A shame - until then we were very happy. It doesn't stop us going again but we shall leave no tips!

Stayed for 2 days. Room clean. Owner let us stay in staff car park so no parking charges. As hotel wasn’t busy she said we could check out whenever so no rush to get out on the last day. Centrally located so ideal for going out without the need to drive

The hotel is next to the carousel, you need to be patient to find it, the parking lot is quite big; the service staff are very enthusiastic; the breakfast is okay; the Internet is not very good, remember to ask the waiter for a password, if you don't have a password, you can connect, but you can't use it

A good pool and gym. Restuarant closed on Monday and Tuesday, there are street food Van's outside which were nice. Room was adequate size. Little balcony. No lift for first floor. Location is a bit remote so no much to do on foot outside the hotel.

Stayed here to go on steam train trip .sundown festival on so hotel full and unable to offer upgrade.still got a pitch side room platinumihg membercharming helpful staff unable to give 5 stars as did not have any meals.also when we last stayed here 15 years ago I noted a design fault in the bathroom the soap and shampoo dispensers are very high on the wall for the shower and people using bath cannot reach them without standing and have no separate soap.this increases risk of slipping however this is still a nice hotel with easy access to the railway station.I think this is now the nicest of Kew greens holiday inns in Norwich

It is very close to the down town, a 15-minute walk to the shopping center, and also to the famous Norwich Market and Norwich Castle. The hotel room is not big, but clean and tidy, it is recommended.

As soon as we walked in it was brilliant, all the staff were lovely, particularly the young girl on the reception and the restaurant manager. The room was lovely and clean, with great air conditioning. We had a dinner, bed and breakfast package, they have a QR code ordering system which means you order, pay and food or drinks come to the table. Seems a great idea at this time with all the staff shortages. It was funny as I, by accident ordered 2 bottles of wine, but the staff were lovely and helped me out. They even gave us a side order instead of a starter which they didn’t have to. The food was good and very hot. My friend used the pool which she said was very good but there were no towels there at 07.00 hours. Breakfast was very good, plenty to choose from and the hot buffet was actually very hot. We would definitely recommend this place

To be honest, it’s a good value for money hotel it’s not the best but the Price is honest only problem I encounter is heating not working. Windows are single glazed so imagine the wind coming through your room from the sea was my second stay here. Breakfast is good but you can see the lack of investment throughout

room was a little jaded (curtains not well arranged, window had a beading missing, and the bathroom was just a little past its prime) and the tea/coffee hidden in a cupboard (why?) and there was only one sachet of hot choc and one pack of biscuits for two occupants - but the bed was huge, and we loved the two bottles of still & sparkling water which met our two preferences! These days a couple of charging points would also be welcome. Chosen for location so can't fault that - and the lovely doorman (the local cat) was an absolute asset to the hotel. Would book again.

I can’t believe the negative reviews about this place .I compare my luck on finding this hotel to a lottery win .Not the jackpot , maybe 5 numbers and the bonus ball on a double roll over week.On approach to the entrance of the hotel /establishment, I was greeted by a red carpet .I quite literally felt like a film star.Well folks , Hollywood didn’t end there ! We only booked a slandered room but sweeet mama what a room , sea view , kettle , a lamp , a TV , soap , toilet roll , towels …..intact far too many luxury items to list .I opted for the cooked breakfast …..two words …Jamie and Oliver . A stones throw to the beach (and I throw like a girl) this gem is right in the heart of ‘Yarm Vegas’ as I call it it.Thank you to the staff and also Bob and Winston who fixed the lamp bulbs for us .See you again soon x

The whole experience was unsettling. We was there for two days and that was more than enough. I really don’t know where to begin. The room was dirty there was dust everywhere in the radiators where full of dust and bits of food. Cobwebs everywhere. The top of wardrobes and windowsills were full with dust but on the windows it was also grime too. There were rubbish under the bed from previous guests. The kettle was full of limescale and the cups and spoons were dirty. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting we only used it to go to toilet and wash our hands. The shower curtain was dripping in mould and dirt. The black slime and grime covered every corner and crevice. I actually used a cotton bud to remove some from the sink to see if it was dirt or stains but it was dirt a big chunk of it came off on the cotton bud. The toilet itself wasn’t clean I had to clean it myself with antibacterial wipes. The breakfast was ok it was cooked well but cheap ingredients. The service is slow and the waiting staff could do with customer service training especially the girls. The dining room table was dirty and sticky both morning with stains from a long time ago on them. They are glass topped do I can’t understand how glass cannot be cleaned properly. There was four people in the dining room tramps/homeless /drug users who where in the dining room obviously staying at the hotel. Swearing and scratching Both days we had do not disturb signs on our door. We always put it in as soon as we enter the room on the first day as we went away to relax and not be bothered but on the first morning while we was getting changed to go out the cleaners let themself in without knocking and quickly left then 10 minutes later did the same. On the second day after breakfast we went bk to bed for an hour and again they did the same. This is totally unacceptable in my opinion as the do not disturb sign is on the door. At 10am you really don’t expect someone to just come in. It’s really rude and without even knocking first. Never would I come back to this hotel. If relaxed and clean is what you’re looking for this is not the place to come. I’ve been to cheaper hotels and they have been much cleaner. Staff training is definitely needed

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Imperial Hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The service throughout our stay was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist with any requests or questions we had. They truly made us feel like valued guests and their genuine hospitality was greatly appreciated. Another great aspect of the Imperial Hotel is its convenient location. Being within walking distance of the beach is a huge plus for those who enjoy spending time by the ocean. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to easily access the beach and enjoy the beautiful surroundings without having to travel far. The proximity to the beach adds an extra level of relaxation and enjoyment to the overall experience at the hotel. Overall, my family and I had a fantastic experience . The combination of a delicious breakfast, excellent service, and clean accommodations made our stay truly memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch experience.

I stayed here from Friday 30.09. to Monday 3 October 2022. It was my first time at Oaklands. It appeared to be primarily a hotel for drivers: it is some way out of the centre of Norwich; the narrow driveway leading to it has no provision for pedestrians; and it has a large car park. The hotel had told me of the fairly frequent bus service from the railway station, which did not take long. Arrival and registration was smooth and fast. My room (no. 20 - photos) was easy to reach and generally quiet, apart from faint noises from the corridor and adjacent rooms. When I arrived, I was correctly told that my room was far enough away from the birthday party in progress for me not to be disturbed; this was not so true of the event on Saturday evening: the music’s rhythmic thumping continued and appeared to grow slightly louder until 24:00. The staff were consistently courteous and helpful. My room was well equipped and comfortable, including a comfortable bed and quickly accessed WiFi, a hair dryer and a spacious bathroom. The wall television worked well. The tasteful decorations incorporated two still life paintings. The refreshment tray included delicious biscuits and drinks, including (most unusual) hot chocolate. Room service was efficient and discreet. There were however a few irritations: A) the bedside light and the ceiling light were linked, so that it was apparently impossible to turn off the bedside light without going to one of the two (why?) switches on the wall by the door; B) the room was warm when I arrived, as was the towel rack in the bathroom; the next day, the heat had vanished, and I was unable to turn it on again; outside night-time temperatures went below 10°C; C) there was no lamp on the desk; D) there were far too many cushions and pillows on the bed; E) there was no clock in the room. The package I had booked was for bed and breakfast. The breakfast room was large, including a terrace; the menu (table service, no buffet) was extensive, with a lot of local produce; the portions were generous and tasty. Fruit juice, normally a standard component of breakfast at such hotels, was available on request.

Arrived at The Wensum Valley Hotel Golf and Country Club to be greeted by staff who were surly, offish and definitely not customer friendly when we checked in at the reception to our two rooms. There was no welcome, or the offer of information such as; where the restaurant was or what the dinner or breakfast times were. We were just given the room keys and not even told the way to the rooms until we asked. We then asked about eating in the restaurant that evening and we were told that we needed to ask at the bar. We asked at the bar and we were told we would have to go to the restaurant. At the restaurant, we were told that they were full with a party of 80 male golfers, but that we could squeeze in if we wanted. We went into Norwich instead and had a really nice meal at Bill’s. On our return we decided to have a nightcap in the bar. Unfortunately, the bar was extremely busy and there was loud music emanating from a nearby function room. We had one drink, which the bar wouldn’t charge to the room and we retired to our rooms. Sadly the loud music from the function followed us and the noise in the room was unbearable. We ended up asking at reception to change rooms which we did. Rooms are clean and decorated, but could perhaps have some pictures hanging to break up the wall expanses. There is no complementary water in the room and to get a 330ml bottle of still water from the bar was £3+. Again the cost of the water wouldn’t be charged to the room. The en-suite toilet and shower room is the best feature of the bedroom, albeit without a toilet roll holder. The internet signal in our rooms was abysmal. Nothing at all, then one bar max!! When one bar, hardly anything loading. I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hotel, we definitely won’t be!!

It's really level one invincible! Highly recommended! It's really a legacy. I'm at least better than the king of orange crystal

My partners daughter booked us a 1 night stay here for his birthday,and a table for Sunday lunch.on arriving we weren't sure if we were in the correct car park as there's no signs to say it was.check in 4 the room wasn't until 2pm and our table 4 lunch was 1pm so we had a drink in the bar first.therez a large seating area outside but only a small bar area so if weather is bad there wouldn't be many seats to sit in.we both choose Sunday roast 4 lunch,the farmers roast that you get a slice of all 3 meats,I have 2 be honest i couldnt taste the difference in them.overall the roast had a strange taste,I can't really put my finger on it,there was a lot of herbs especially rosemary on my plate I prefer potatoes etc..not covered in herbs.the cauliflowercheese was mushy..the desserts were lovely.we had few drinks on the terrace later and scones and cream which was lovely the room we had overlooked the side of the hotel..i didn't sleep very well in the bed,the bed itself was good but the pillows were awfull,the room was quite stuffy but I didn't feel comfortable leaving the window open.,couldnt fully turn off the shower and the radiator in the room clearly leaks as there was a tea towel wrapped round it which looked like it had been there a while.we didn't have breakfast before leaving as my partner had work commitments. Overall this hotel has a great location overlooking the river which definately makes it popular,there are a few things that could do with fixing here to make it an excellent hotel.
