8/10 Very good

We have stayed here before. So we got what we expected a nice comfortable stay
Ian, 2-night trip

Return trip (one night stay)

Stayed here about a month ago - it is an OK place to stay - you know what to expect from GK. Friendly efficient service - comfortable with no real issues. Good breakfast - evening food was wholesome and typical of all GK menus. Have stayed twice before and would stay again - I have found it reliable and so one thing less to worry about when planning a trip away.

ok place to stay

Have stayed before - is an ok place to stay - you know what to expect with GK No food was available owing to a gas problem - these things happen - I only found out when I went to order though.

2/10 Poor

Awful food and service.

The food was awful, cooked on the outside, raw in the middle. Complained to the manager and she walked off whilst mumbling. Glad to say I hear that manager is leaving this week.
JP, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok hotel . Bar and food was fine. Rooms could do with an update and a re- decoration as they are a bit tired. But they were clean. Room was boiling as it was a warm weekend. No aircon, and with the window open street was quite noisy.

Nice hotel

The hotel was ok for a two night stay however at night it was very noisy and hard to sleep. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a good size but the bathroom looked tired but clean. For the price we paid you couldn’t grumble too much. If I was to go again I would definitely not ask for room 15 only because of the noise. The breakfast was very good with lots of choice. They accommodated me as I have celiac disease. We came to see the Dads Army museum and everything was walking distance.

Convienient town centre location.

In a convenient location in middle of Thetford. The staff were friendly. Reasonably value for money. Bathroom was dissappointing - water flow for shower poor, towel rail on with no control to turn it off in the middle of summer.Temp control for shower hard to control. General decor clean but a little scruffy.

Very disappointing hotel

Everything in this hotel was terrible. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok nothing special for £25 for two people. £105 for one night in a very uncomfortable bed is a joke. The toilet in the common area was clogged with poo We do not recommend this hotel
Jwamer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing service.

Just want we needed staff were fantastic and really went the extra mile to accommodate our early arrival and had the room ready for us. Room was nice and big and comfortable. It is a little dated but generally expected. Breakfast was good also. But staff really made the stay were super helpful and friendly.

Updated

The room needs updating, had to wait 10 minutes to get served drinks at the bar, breakfast was average
matt, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be lovely if refurbished.

Hotel rather tired although it could be made very nice indeed. Room ok although again, in need of refurbishment. Toilet seat broken, no chain on basin plug so difficult to get out with sink full of water. Bath had standing water in, maybe from a leaking tap? We didn’t use it. Tables in bar and restaurant very sticky.

Tracy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Returned to home town for school reunion so knew the hotel was central and in a good location, staff on reception were very helpful and friendly but generally the hotel just seemed tired and in need of decoration, shower was warm despite a sign warning you to be careful of hot water and the bath was worn and stained and furniture had handles missing and was chipped. Appreciate it is an old building so furniture and decoration is in line with age of property

Thetford stay

We've stayed here a few times and the hotel has lots of history. Unfortunately, it now needs some updating and repair. There were a few areas of the hotel which were obviously not tended. For example, there were tiles which had fallen onto the floor of the gents toilet. They were still loose on the floor 4 days later! Apart from Madison who worked in the bar and was very helpful and friendly, the rest of the staff were really miserable and unfriendly. The girl on reception was unfriendly and uninterested! The bar seemed to have no set hours. Sometimes it closed at 10:15, other times at 12:00. We saw a number of customers refused drinks when the bar should have been still open, especially for residents! Doubt if we'll stay there again 😰
