The location is the only convenient thing.
I recently stayed at The Station Hotel and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing.
We booked a triple room for three people, as well as a separate room for another guest. Despite booking together, the rooms were at opposite ends of the hotel (Room 1 and Room 18), which was very inconvenient.
The issues started on arrival. There was no one at reception, and the only person available to help us was unable to communicate in English, which made the check-in process very difficult. We were initially told our room was Room 6, then told it was Room 18, then informed we needed a code to access it — only to later be given a key instead. The phone number displayed at reception was also incorrect. It took over 40 minutes to check in, which was stressful and not a good start to our stay.
The triple room itself had several problems: no hand towel, a dirty mirror, only one glass and two mugs for three guests, no kettle, the TV didn’t work and the WiFi didn’t work. Most concerning was that the room was freezing. The radiators were not functioning, and the windows had been left open, which made the temperature even worse.
The additional room had similar issues, including being extremely cold, suggesting this may be a wider problem throughout the hotel.
Overall, the lack of basic amenities, non-functioning facilities and the chaotic check-in process significantly impacted our stay. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

The property was clean. And tidy and quiet
Didn’t see a single member of reception staff my entire 2 week stay and only saw the housekeeping staff twice, even tho advertised as having WiFi I had no WiFi for my entire stay and had been informed when I saw the housekeeping staff that they hadn’t had it for 3 months and they have been ignoring my messages to try and get a resolution between myself them and booking.com

The location
There is no staff present in the hotel and the owners attitude when you finally get through after waiting for 2 hours to be checked in was abysmal. When I finally got up to my room I found that it appeared the TV had been ripped off the wall and the floor didn't look like it had been vacuumed for about a year. It feels like one of those places you wipe your feet on the way out.

The hotel is clean, and easy to get to. You are central to everything, bars and clubs and shopping facilities.
Such a picturesque place, especially the cathedral
I didnt like that there wasnt anyone on the desk , you had to call and they would never answer, but would call you back. Also the cleaning staff will walk straight into your room in the mornings without knocking.
Also the rooms show tvs, neither of the rooms i stayed in had a tv!

I hereby request for a full refund and compensation on the following grounds.
I booked the hotel about 2 weeks before the trip.
I showed up at the time that I indicated during the booking.
When I got to the hotel on December 13 at around 8pm, nobody was at the reception to attend to me and there was no instruction on where I could get the key
I called the number at the reception more than 10 times, but no answer
I sent an email message and left a voice note, no response
I called booking.com customer service but only AI attended to me. The AI told me that he could not help
I was in the cold for almost 1 hour and almost stranded because of the poor organization of the hotel and that of booking.com
I paid 55 pounds for one night in the hotel but then had to book another hotel for 75.65 pounds
I had to take uber to and from the other hotel and paid around 26.05
I hereby request for a full refund of the accommodation
I also hereby request for the payment of 50 (75.65 + 26.05 - 55) pounds to cover the difference between my original booking and the emergency one, uber cost and inconvenience
Hotel to train station - 9.65 pounds
Hotel to another one - 16.40
Another hotel - 75.65
Old hotel - 55

I arrived in Norwich around 20.15 pm. I found a key lock without a key in it. There were no night staff on. My son called to get advice to get in the place. The room had not been cleaned. I took pictures as proof. When I left, I got home and had another shower to reduce the itching. The key was in the room. There was no breakfast available, what was the breakfast room, was completely clear of any chairs tables extra. They didnt even have day staff at the receiption nor did I see a cleaning team in the place either. I stayed from 10-12, and I will never stay there again. It was less than a mile from the station as I didnt know the area. I dont know how to upload the pictures on here.
P
All of it. The whole place was not welcoming.

Nothing I didn’t get to check in.
I arrived at 8pm, I could check in 14:00 until 22:00 it says on the booking. However when I arrived at the front door of the hotel there was no doorbell button, no staff a sign saying to call the hotel number 07888 802225 I waited around calling until 9pm in very dissatisfied and was late for my event I came to Norwich from kings Lynn, which started at 8pm I was going to put my bag down and go straight to the venue.

Very basic there were only enough tra coffy milk for one cup and no one around to be able to get more and the floor by my room felt like it could give way at any time but its ok for a one night stay if nothing elce available but for what there is I thought the price was a bit high but must be expected being so close to towen
The place was very dark no railings to hold onto getting into the building im disabled and almost fell dowen the steps trying to get into the main entrance and there was only enough tea coffee and milk for just one cup and no one around to get more

Great location and half-decent value for money. The features advertised were mostly provided and I got some sleep.
There were no staff on site and I had to call their number 4 times over 10mins before being told how to get in. There were no instructions in the room on how to access Wifi. Although I was able to shower, make tea, and sleep, the room and hotel badly needs refurbishment. The shower has burn marks on the floor, the bedroom flooring needs to be redone, and overall design looks run-down.

Perfect location
Bed wasn’t very comfortable and it had no shower curtain or net curtains at the window. No dressing table mirror and there were floor boards missing underneath the carpet, so dangerous for people with mobility issues. The tv didn’t work and the remote had to batteries and was the wrong remote for the tv.

It was close to the station
Anytime I had a question, like the WiFi wouldn’t work in my room, I got directed to call a number then directed to call another number. I got changed to another room because the no signal as well as no WiFi I need to make travel plans. My new room smelt bad. The was a banging noise the whole night and morning.
I thought it was over priced for what it offered in the end

The rooms were very unclean and there were questionable stains everywhere. We were only given two towels despite it being a triple room, and the second bed didn't even have a duvet. The walls were paper thin so you could hear everything both inside the hotel and from the street outside. The mattresses had lots of springs which were not comfortable to sleep on. To top it off, there was no one on reception for any of our stay, and when we tried to check in we were originally told we didn't have a booking, only texting us the code to access our room once we'd sent a screenshot of the confirmation.

great location
There’s no staff actually working in this poor excuse of a hotel, upon arrival we had to ring a number that was sellotaped to the front door, it took 40 phone calls between my friend and I before anyone actually answered us, which is not what you need when you’ve just spent 8 hours travelling. The keypad pin didn’t work and another hotel guest let us into the foyer when he was leaving, took us about 30 - 40 minutes from arriving at the hotel to check in. when we finally got an answer from the “staff” member it was a text message stating he’s occupied and to text instead of ring. Finally we got into our room, which probably hasn’t been cleaned in the last 5 years and found a damp wall, huge cracks and holes in the walls, bleach stained bedding, hairs in the bathroom sink and shower and so generously one small towel to share between the two of us. The windows have a safety latch that you can very easily remove so i wouldn’t recommend this place if you value your child’s safety. All in all it was rather disappointing especially considering this was over £100 for just two nights in what felt like a crime scene.

The location to the station
The building doesn’t look like the external picture.
The hotel does not have the same name as what you book.
No instructions to take the key left in the bedroom, to get through the external door.
The building smells like stale cigarettes.
The TV had no remote and no channels - no aerial connection lead.
Only one ceiling light worked.
Bedside tables not cleaned. Coffee stains and dust every where.
Half used loo roll in bathroom.
The duvet cover had holes on the top. Pulled the duvet back to get in to and there were cigarette burns on it.
Felt really dirty and unclean and as result got bare minimum of sleep.
Daylight could not come fast enough so that I could leave.

> No shower gel
> Sheets were a bit stained and dirty
> Room was very dark and dimly lit, could use a lamp or something

Mattress needs replaced, only one bulb in the bedroom working, I booked for 3 adults, and only one bath towel was left available, not even one hand towel left for us.
Contacted the number left on the door on arrival, no one at the desk. When called the 2nd time about the towels phone call, was rejected and got a message saying not to call to text.
Was my friends birthday and spoiled the one night we're staying in Norwich.
Only hand soap left available, no shampoo or shower gel left for us.
This states on facilities!!!!
I mean, it's the basics!!!!
