10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay at The Annesley. The parking was easy, safe & reasonably priced - you can walk into Norwich city centre in under 10 minutes, its very straightforward. Perfect location and they kindly gave me a room towards the back, which I found quiet. The room was clean, tidy & well equipped for a small room (which I’d requested/paid for) - it was so much better than I’d expected it to be. A lovely sitting room on the ground floor for reading or socialising & it was also nice to have a drink in the garden (good weather). The bar was easily accessible & the 3 staff members I encountered during my stay were all friendly. I didn’t eat there so I can’t comment on the food, but from what I did see it looked lovely! Would highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Norwich, especially if you’re wanting to explore the castle, cathedral or city centre."

"Enjoyed our brief stay at St Giles House. We were only in our room to sleep (straight after seeing ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ at Norwich Theatre) and had breakfast first thing in the morning, so we didn’t spend very much time at the hotel. Our one and only issue is the curtains in our room; they are so thin, the street light outside, which was on throughout the night, made it feel like it was still daylight. Suffice it to say, neither of us slept well. Nice breakfast, friendly staff and is clean throughout, though."

"The bathroom was clean but a little dated , staff were so nice and very friendly, breakfast was fine but I would not recommend the vegetarian sausages. Parking was plentiful until an event is held. The carvery is very good and very popular, with a reasonable price tag. The dining areas are good with some nice waterside views both inside and out, as the hotel is on the waterfront. ."
