Unfortunately the town as with most uk seaside towns had some undesirables They didn’t bother us but the look of them wasn’t good. The Troll Cart was good for food .

Location opposite beach ,very quiet to sleep ,excellent room To be honest this is a five star hotel in fact it was better than five star the decor ,food and staff were all five star. I would recommend FIVE⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nothing - everything was excellent

Excellent Three Night Stay. Matt and Angie, our hosts were most welcoming. Made us feel very relaxed. Nothing to much trouble for them. As our first time in Great Yarmouth they suggested places to visit (Venetian Waterways/Gardens for example) and recommended local restaurants (Othello and Chicos in particular, both of which were only a few metres away from the Ocean) which were excellent. Our Superior Front Facing Room was spacious, clean and had fabulous uninterrupted views onto beach and sea. Room was daily refreshed. Breakfast was first class with quality ingredients. The Ocean deserve their high rating - first class for a small boutique hotel in the best location in Great Yarmouth. We wish Matt and Angie all the best for the future.

It was a shame we were just out of high season as the Bistro and bar were closed and it would have been nice to sit outside with a drink and just watch the world go by. This is not a reflection on the hotel in any way though, that was purely down to the time of year we arrived.

Fabulous location right on the sea front close to Britannia Pier. The owners are absolutely lovely and will go out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. Breakfasts are perfectly cooked, the place is spotlessly clean and it is almost impossible to find fault. We will definitely stay again.

I don’t normally do reviews. However this needed one. Hosts are incredible. Hotel and rooms are clean, tidy and breakfast is very good. I travel a lot and it’s one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in for a long time. .

No bar/restaurant when we stayed. Given the great quality breakfast, I would have been happy to give them some more of my money for dinner and evening drinks!

Matt was a fantastic host, registered our car for parking and checked us in efficiently. Allowed us to check in early too which was a great bonus. Great local knowledge too. We had the sea view suite and it was really great! Tastefully decorated and furnished, as was the rest of the hotel. The view from that room is superb! Had breakfast in the morning and it was equally impressive. The lady who served us (I believe her name is Angie) was really warm, welcoming and attentive. The food (a full English) was of a high standard, used really good quality ingredients and well cooked and presented. If you're visiting Great Yarmouth, I definitely recommend a room at Hotel Ocean!

The stairs! Being unfit and on the top floor was a killer, for me, but the far reaching views made up for it.

The choices on offer from the traditional to the unusual (for breakfast) where all there. And the taste was delicious.

Nothing. perhaps take the hotel and move it out of Great Yarmouth

Hotel very nice, great staff, good parking. Breakfast was great as well. High quality Bacon buttie option was spot on. Also loads of other fancy hotel choices involving eggs and hollandaise.

Parking around the back of the hotel, didn't feel secure. However, we were given a permit to park in the car park across the road which felt much safer.

Really lovely atmosphere. Decor is amazing throughout. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing, so fresh and tasty. I definitely recommend this hotel.
