3 Stars Hotels in Norfolk, United Kingdom

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

Location: The hotel is in a mixed residential/commercial area of Norwich, its quiet and feels safe. The hotel is a short walk from The Riverside for restaurants, bars, cinema, etc. and close to local pub etc. it is a short walk from the station. There is no onsite parting - the street parking has daytime restriction. Facilities: There is a card secured front door and reception desk which is not 24hr. There is an onsite Indian restaurant. I didn't use it but it looked good. There is also a bar. The hotel offers a number of guest services such as a luggage locker, laundry etc. The public areas of the hotel are clean, well maintained, etc. The room: I had room 2 on the gorund floor. This was clean, spacious, and well equipped. So pleased to have a proper wardrobe! There was a tray of stuff such as fruit juice and biscuits. There is a small room safe also. There is an en suite shower room which was modern, clean and worked great. The bed was firm and comfortable. The linen was fresh. I like the characterful decor Service: Everyone at the hotel was friendly, professional and helpful. I was prepaid booking so I didn't need to do a full check in/out. Everything seemed organised and efficient. My only gripe was that the people in the next room to me were noisy at 5am interupting my sleep and had the TV on very loud. Oh well, an earlier start than expected! Thats just bad luck I guess. I would recommend this hotel and I will stay here again next time I am in Norwich.

I had a wonderful stay at this first-rate small three-star hotel within a short walk of Norwich railway station where you can take the train to London and the rest of East Anglia or where you can access the local bus network with direct transfer to the city centre and the rest of Norwich. The welcome was friendly and efficient felt like a valued customer from the outset. The communal areas were well-maintained and nicely decorated. The room was marvellous, also well maintained and presented, the bed was extremely comfortable with great linen, duvet and pillows, the television was adequate and the Wi-Fi worked well. The en suite bathroom was superb with good water pressure to the shower and nice towels. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean. Great stay and hotel which I can highly recommend to all.

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

We had a family wedding in Norwich so had a group booking for family all 9 of us . The hotel is very well situated for the City Centre and has a David Lloyd health centre next door ( day pass cost£10 but well worth it very good facilities ) and the hotel itself is very well set out with a lounge and bar at the reception and a breakfast area next to that ,all spotless . The rooms are very clean and have everything you could need ( iron ironing board hairdryer tv lots of electrical and usb points ) My mother has Parkinson’s disease and had a disabled adapted room which was perfect all the requirements to make life easier for limited mobility . The breakfast is a buffet and has everything you would need from cold to cooked and all was very tasty . The breakfast chef Daniel was outstanding , after hearing my mother’s illness he went over and above the level of service you would expect and I cannot thank him enough for his thoughtfulness . In conclusion a very nice stay made better by excellent staff throughout the hotel from reception to housekeeping and a special mention again to Daniel for his thoughtfulness . Highly recommend this hotel

What a lovely hotel. Really good sized room with all facilities we wanted, plenty of hanging space for clothes, tea and coffee making facilities and beautifully clean. Lovely bar area and super friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend. Thank you

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.

Room was ok, could have been cleaner. Staff were fantastic no complaints. Breakfast was an experience - multiple people in pyjamas, large group of people cleared everything from the cooked counter into lunch bags and containers so we waited a while for more food to be cooked. Environment around the hotel at night didn’t feel safe for me as a single woman with children. Lots of people hanging around the hotel doorway, strong smell of **** and some one used the lift as a urinal - we won’t stay again.

Basic, but clean, comfortable and convenient. Good for an overnight stop, especially if visiting the university.

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.

We came down for a funereal, abit upset as we was unable to book into room early even though we even said about paying extra to get into our room early. The room was clean and tidy, apart from 1 public hair in the bathroom, which can’t be helped. Comes to trying to sleep and then the problems started, it sounded like there was a helicopter under neath us, it was so loud, we don’t sleep with the tv but we had the tv so loud and you could still hear it, I went down and complained they turned the air con off was no help what so ever. Then an actually helicopter came out aswell so we had the noise ontop of us and below us for half an hour, I know the real helicopter has nothing to do with travel lodge, it finally stopped at 3am and started again at 5am, so we managed to get 2 hours sleep. I was ready to get the pillow and the blanket and go and sleep in the car. The bed was also like sleeping on a rock. I couldn’t be any happier being back home with the worst night sleep of my life!! Was horrendous! Complaining didn’t get anything sorted, I can’t believe we had to pay for this room, was a joke; even laying there at one point staring at the ceiling saying I’m going to try and get a few hours in the car. If I was in my car I would of ended up in the car, but unlucky we wasn’t and was in my partners which is a lot smaller car then mine. Dont think i will ever book a travel lodge again!!

I stayed at the hotel with my 10 year old daughter and we were both very pleased with the hotel. A great greeting upon arrival by Linda, nice cosy room with nice comfortable beds, all the usual amenities in the room although the shower sounded like a jet engine when first turned on but that’s a very very minor thing and didn’t bother us at all, room was very clean and tidy. Larry does a mean breakfast. All in all a home from home, Larry and Linda are amazing hosts, my daughter really enjoyed seeing the dogs too. Definitely will be booking for next year. 5 stars.

Second year running we have spent the August bank holiday weekend as a family in Great Yarmouth and stayed at this hotel. We booked the three best room and I have to say they are very comfortable with king size beds and a jacuzzi bath. It’s on the north side just out of the town centre which suits us, you can walk down or jump on a bus. It was nice to recognise some of the staff from last year and good to see more staff than last year. We also eat at the hotel a couple nights and it was good pub grub type food lots of choice.
