Overpriced room rate based on poor room condition & cleanliness: Requested a Non-Smoking room with wooden floors in advance of check in. Upon arrival allocated Room 23 - double room. Upon looking at pictures of Double Rooms on websites, we were allocated the smallest double room. The room is not at all as depicted in the pictures - current condition of the room is poor. Room walls are smudged, dirty and have quite a few patches paint chips. Bedside lamp cracked. Bed is very squeaky - squeaky with every movement made. Our bathroom was not any of the pictures advertised - it wasn't as immaculate as any of the bathrooms in the pictures and was much smaller. Room and bathroom not professionally cleaned - dusty furnishings and floor skirtings; drawers in bedroom need a clean; dirty bathroom cabinet; dirt in bathroom floor corners; bathroom basin cup and soap holders dirty; shower door needs proper cleaning. No toilet roll holder and plug in hand basin doesn't stay shut. No sound proofing - hear all movements of people in other rooms, including singing in shower and frolicking. Strong, unpleasant smell lingering in room - unsure if from strong cleaning chemicals used or lingering smell from old cigarette smoke. Shower drain blocked - overflowing so had to cut shower short. All matter of debri was coming up thru the drain. Pictures taken to back what has been stated.

Excellent location conveniently close to Norwich train station, Carrow Road and the city centre. All within easy walking distance. Check in was great, where I met the very pleasant owner. Room was warm, quiet and clean. Had everything I needed. I think Marlborough Hotel will be number one choice when I'm back in Norwich.

Good basic accommodation

Basic but spotlessly clean. Good for a short stay where all I needed was bed and breakfast. My only complaint was that I was not warned that parking was restricted (on Saturdays as well as weekdays) and I got a ticket. Not really their fault, but maybe something to note.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s very close to the station and not too far from the city centre. Only criticism I have was the shower wasn’t that powerful and the pillow on my bed was very thin. But overall would stay there again
