From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel and room was immaculately clean. We had a drink in the bar in the evening and the young man serving was very helpful when choosing a wine to drink. I liked the fact we could easily walk to shops and restaurants near by. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning.

The heating system was odd we set it at 21c but came back to near 30c. We went in my BEV . Before going I read the website which doesn't mention on site charging but in reality they have it so I could have saved some money not charging up before arriving. They charge £5 per night to charge at I guess a low kW rate..

Wonderful memory thanks Maids Head Team

We stayed for the 1 night only (Thursday) and arrived by bus because the carpark charge online looked to expensive. Whilst we were upgraded on arrival toi a newly decorated level 1 - in room 109. A Gorgeous quiet and warm room with a settee and chairs. When walking to the Norwich Cathedral next door we saw a beautiful old Bentley car parked out front which is one of three classic cars own by the hotel. We got a complimentary tour all around the City with the driver as guide. Fabulous thanks Maids Head for a truly memorable stay in Storm Benjamin!
