Location, breakfast and staff
Heating out, given electric heater, which only heats main room not bathroom. The hotel upgraded our room without asking, but it very noisy till 1230am with music from pub next door, then the street besides our room was noisy with people leaving the pub

Staff were excellent, very friendly. Evening meal was good. Breakfast was just what we wanted.
There was no heating on in the hotel, our room was cold, hence could not have a shower due to having to step into a cold room. On booking, it should have been mentioned that there was a big funfair immediately outside of the hotel! We would have booked for a different weekend had we known this. £15.00 for the car park is a bit steep!! I think the hotel should offer some sort of discount for it's guests? Also, why no access to the car park through the hotel? You had to walk right round to get to it?

Room good, food good, but it was cold in the hotel and our room. Staff did not say they had only one boiler working when we arrived.
We only drink decaf tea or coffee so it would be nice to have some in the room.

This was our second stay, and once again we had a great experience. The reception staff were very welcoming, the rooms were extremely spacious, and the bathroom was spotless. The highlight had to be the bed — wonderfully large and incredibly comfortable. We also loved the staircase; it’s such a lovely feature.
Not that our first stay wasn’t nice — it was — but this visit was especially impressive.

Breakfast was slow coming out. But when it did come out was very nice.

Huge breakfast buffet, something for everyone.
The TV kept turning itself off in the middle of a programme, and was in a Settings menu when switched back on. It took several minutes to get the programme back.

The room was clean and comfortable - a but snug but just what i needed. Staff were welcoming and solved a couple of issues with keys quickly and without fuss.
Breakfast was solid but the tea and coffee were disappointing. When i asked for pot of tea, i did get a less than enthusiastic response.

Comfortable room once we got there.
Room was on top floor and due to our age/nimbleness we struggled to carry our luggage via the stairs.
Breakfast was only OK.

Very friendly welcome by Reception staff. The decor of the hotel was in art deco style and really suited the building. The Christmas decorations were lovely and gave a real festive air. We were lucky enough to be upgraded and the room was spacious, very clean. Very comfortable nights sleep. Breakfast was delicious and the restaurant was very welcoming and comfortable.
The price of the car park. We used the Tuesday Market Place and it was much cheaper

Warm welcome, friendly and helpful staff, lovely sitting room and bar areas to relax and have a drink. Rooms and beds were very comfortable. Great location on the square and very easy to walk around and explore.
Shower room was on the small side and the TV signal was a bit patchy, but that's just nit picking.

Everything was great, and with Christmas decorations up, even though a big hotel, it felt like a big country house.
Everything was great. Staff, food, service, room etc.

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were friendly, attentive and genuinely helpful, and the whole hotel had a professional and welcoming feel. The facilities were well kept, the room and communal areas were spotless, and the comfort level was excellent — quiet, warm and perfect for a work trip. The internet speed in my room was very good, circa 250mb down and the same up. The location is ideal in the centre of King’s Lynn, and overall the stay offered great value for money.
Whilst I had a small double room with only a shower, the shower itself wasn’t particularly powerful and the tray filled up quickly because the water couldn’t drain away fast enough. I had to turn the shower on and off periodically to let it clear.
There were also no power sockets or USB points next to the bed, which made charging devices a bit awkward. The TV felt past its sell-by date as well — I couldn’t cast to it, and I wasn’t able to access the HDMI port to connect my laptop.

Location good parking readily available.
Room was advertised as a feature room if that constitutes a room with a window looking over ac vents and a scruffy flat roof then guess I got what I booked. Felt like I was in a box with the lid firmly sealed. Receptionist not at all friendly asked for a receipt good job I checked as it was wrong. I opted to have breakfast which was a mistake the bacon and sausages sat in water although they had been fried neither were crisp, only eggs available were fried backed beans stone cold as were the hash browns mushrooms and tomatoes the restaurant staff were nowhere to be found so no one to complain to. It was just awful.

Lovely helpful staff. Comfortable lounge to relax in with a coffee or drink. The location was excellent for exploring the interesting old part of King's Lynn and the river. Public car park outside the hotel (£4.50 from 5pm until 11am next day).
Disappointed that at 9am, items had run out for breakfast (no eggs, bacon, orange juice etc), had to inform staff, and then a lengthy wait.
The bar closed at 10.30pm and the coffee machine had been shut down.
No light on the dressing table in room, making it difficult for wife getting ready to go out.
