That the room we ended up with was spacious, big enough for people who were staying a few nights and who needed some private space. I had to negotiate this at the counter, as the "upgrade" turned out to be unclearly presented on the website - see below.

Once an important medieval trading centre, Norwich remains a popular shopping destination. The Chapelfield centre is the newest addition, whereas a historic shop sells the city’s most famous export: Colman’s Mustard. Castle Mall is underground, in a hill topped with a keep, part of the 12th-century castle founded by William the Conqueror.
Dating to the same era is the large cobbled square housing a 6-day market. It was said that Norwich had a church for every week, and while that is no longer true, over 30 medieval churches still exist. The cathedral was built using stone from Normandy and boasts England’s 2nd largest cloisters and 2nd tallest spire.
Colourful medieval façades line Elm Hill and the Guildhall is another fine example of the period. Half-timbered Dragon Hall was a trading hall, while St Andrew’s and Blackfriars Halls constitute England’s most intact friary. The 14th-century Cow Tower sits by the River Wensum upstream from Pulls Ferry, the train station and Norwich City FC.
Reportedly, Norwich once had a pub for every day, and today’s traditional inns and modern bars are certainly popular with the student population. Other entertainment options include the Theatre Royal and Playhouse.
Norwich accommodation on Booking.com includes historic hotels with pools, city centre guest houses and riverside apartments, all near to Norwich Airport.

It's not easy to park but there are a couple of convenient park and rides just outside the city. It has a vibrant market with varied and interesting little shops set out with a variety of items you didn't know you needed! There's a church converted into a market place in which you can browse for items of old with vintage clothes and beautifully crafted jewellery. There are unlimited places to eat from delicious fish and chips (huge queues) and offbeat decorated small cafes.

Norwich, a pleasant surprise, the town and city was better then I/we expected, the old town reminded me of York, lots of independent shops, lots to browse, places to eat, would be a shoppers heaven. There is also the newer part of the city, with arcades and most of the usual shops. My main delight was Jarrolds Department store, (not many left) well worth a visit if your looking for something special! Then there was the market, an-other nice surprise! I have also never encountered so many Churches, including the lovely Norwich Cathedral! Also there are lots of beautiful buildings and some amazing architecture! The castle was closed due to repairs but looks very imposing on the hill. I/we have only seen a small portion of Norwich, but are looking to return later in the year and will be staying a few extra days! I'd say, if you like a nice friendly City with lots of culture & shopping, try Norwich! :-)

This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it.
This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it. The Maids Head hotel where we stayed was a real find situated as it is right next to the wonderful cathedral in Tombland.
Norwich itself is a vibrant city which seemlessly marries ancient and modern in a way that really works. There is so much to see and do. If you have £100,000 to spend on a diamond ring you can find one but if you just want an authentic gelato you can find that too about 50mtrs away. The market area is legendary and has a massive street food section where you can sample anything from pie and peas to Asian cuisine. We loved the whole place and will be back again.

Olive Cafe and Haggle restaurant were two stand out options for food. Try the bubble and squeak at Olive. Olive's breakfast option was enourmous.
We had four starters and two main courses at Haggle. Every one was superb. Staff very friendly and efficient.
Maids Head was a great location for our stay. Adjacent to the Cathedral and any amount of the historical walks outlined for free on the Norwich Society website.

Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market.
Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market. People are very very friendly and helpful. It's a nice city to just wander everywhere, and easy to find your bearings.
Lots of information and a wonderful monument to Edith Cavell, the brave nurse executed by the Germans.
Many varied eateries to match your hunger level or kind of dining experience you want, from street takeaways to tea cafes to fine dining.
I enjoyed my stay in Norwich; no pressure, and I had a very fine studio apartment called Wellington Apartments, which is directly behind Norwich Cathedral.

Two days in Norwich was just right for us to explore the historic interests, shop the Shambles and get a feel for the culture and atmosphere. I'm not sure why it's not a top tourist recommendation as there is lots of charm and history in a relatively small and easy to explore town. Maybe the cobble stone streets being a little hilly are more difficult for the elderly that aren't used to the European way of walking so much, but it seems everyone got around well.
Everything. Perfect location and easily accessible for the city centre.
Lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean and comfortable. A cosy place to relax after a busy day.
Kay was so welcoming and gave us lots of good information for the local area and beyond.
A nice touch for breakfast each morning : different breads, cereals, jams, coffee, teas provided in the room with plenty of milk in the fridge to make breakfast at your leisure.
Highly recommend if you're heading to Norwich and would love to stay again.
We stayed for a university visit, so we wanted to be accessible to both the city centre and the university. This was ideal, with a level flat walk to the city centre in under 10 minutes. The university was a 15 minute drive. The hotel was extremely warm and comfortable, with exceptionally courteous and helpful staff. We slept very well and the breakfast was good. The rooms were lovely and spacious and very warm and comfortable considering the time of year.
Delightful hotel which is very old and furnished in a sympathetic style suiting the hotel. Staff were amazingly attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The cooked breakfast was delicious as were the self service items such as cereal, juice etc. Although off the beaten track, it is only 3-4 miles from Norwich City centre which is ideal if you want to stay in secluded peace and quiet in the evening. Getting a taxi into the city centre was quick and easy!
five of us stayed for my daughters graduation. At the very last minute i phoned them to say can we have one room as early check in which they obliged with no problems . We booked into the hotel restaurant for dinner at 9pm, the food service and drinks were excellent. we all had a wonderful time but a great breakfast the following morning. The hotel although in the country is near Norwich city centre/Uni and very near the Park and Ride.
The breakfast was wonderful! A full hot English breakfast served at 9:00 a.m. cheerfully. The room was not as large as I had reserved but the staff made it work out. The staff were wonderful!. Very helpful. We didn't know that it wasn't located directly in Norwich and the owner drove us to the bus station every morning and picked us up every evening, quite cheerfully and free of charge. The food at the pub was very good as well.
The main building is beautiful and looks quite impressive from the outside as it used to be a big estate. The hotel has a decent swimming pool with a sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, which guests can use without additional charge. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly. The hotel has beautiful grounds and a golf club. Overall I think it's good value for money.
The hotel was perfect location for the event we attended in Norwich city centre. The staff were helpful and polite. Plenty of parking and great amenities! We used the spa/pool facilities after checking out, again.. clean tidy and well maintained! We got a complimentary upgrade which was a pleasant surprise, thank you! We will definitely stay again :)
Nice room, comfortable bed, very clean. Excellent breakfast. Most of the staff very pleasant and helpful. Quiet location but easy enough to get to Norwich city centre by taxi. (There is also a bus, 44A, which runs through the village between Aylsham and Norwich.
