On check in we asked if we could get a drink however told the bar was closed. We were given a registration form which I completed but forgot to sign, the older lady rather rudely reminded me and then handed me the key with directions to the room. After wandering around for a while I realised the room number on the key was the other side of the hotel which we eventually found. After unpacking and making a drink she phoned our room and said we were in the wrong one, apologised and asked us to move promising my husband ( who she seemed to be more polite to) a drink when the bar opened. We packed and vacated to the new room however the smell of drains from the bathroom was unbearable. My husband went down to reception and we were eventually given the room opposite. After repacking for the second time we moved, we had just got unpacked when she knocked on the door demanding the old key so she could look to see what she needed to do and see the problem. She was more bothered what housekeeping needed to do as we had been in 2 rooms now. She then retracted the offer of a drink as we’d requested to move. The rooms were very dated, the standard of cleanliness was questionable and the bedsheets had marks on, the quilt was lumpy, however we accepted the room and stayed. The lady at the reception was unwelcoming, rude and definitely spoke more politely to my husband than myself. All if the staff we interacted with were unfriendly, breakfast,I will be generous and say just edible.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights while attending a concert at Sandringhan house, property was easy to find and had ample parking. Check-in was very straight forward, and receptionist very friendly and welcoming, room was very clean and cosy, and had all of the amenities required, and expected. Had a meal in the restaurant and food was excellent, as was breakfast in the mornings, and service was excellent, again all staff very friendly and welcoming. All in all, hotel is a great place to stay, some of the previous reviews state that the hotel is a little tired, but then again it is a 13th century property, so what would you expect!!?. My wife also left a personal item in the room when we left, contacted the hotel when we arrived home, and they located it, and posted it back to us. All in all we enjoyed our stay, and wouldn't hesitate in returning, and thank you to all of the staff that looked after us.

Absolutely awful stay, I could hear every word people were saying in the corridor outside my room. The smoking area was outside my window so all I could smell was people’s cigarette smoke all night. There was blood stains on my sheets, broken edges in the bathroom, dirty shower curtain, holes in the bath, toilet roll holder was above the toilet so hard to reach while sitting in the toilet. Trip hazard step into bathroom so stubbed my foot several times. Disabled parking bay was a tiny space next to the smoking are with a wooden post so you couldn’t open the door wide enough. Pillows were flat as paper, kettle full of lime scale and springs in bed popping out. Towels had brown stains on them absolute awful nights sleep due to noise levels of people talking loudly outside window smoking constant slamming of door to reception outside my room. The only good part of the room was Netflix on tv and the blackout blinds everything else was very badly in need of update or good clean. Poorly finished off workmanship from whoever the handyman was with sockets on their sides and bad finishing

Could be better!

We just stayed for one night. Our room was clean but dated. The beds had seen better days. Breakfast was fairly awful. Burnt bacon, poor selection of fruit and pastries and a fruit salad that had seen better days. Solid scrambled egg and muffins that you couldn’t cut into. We had dinner and that was absolutely delicious. In spite of the breakfast and the dated room we enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have a ground floor room with a shower rather than a shower over a bath which ( for me) is inaccessible .

Value for money

Hotel nice but dated, clean throughout, floors creak but due to age cannot be helped. Needs a renovation throughout, water leak marks, loose toilet seat, stained carpets etc in our room. In the centre of Swaffham close to kings lynn and surrounding, we were visiting family in RAF Marham about 10/15 minutes drive.

Great staff, not so great property

The staff were excellent. Tried very hard to assist and were very pleasant. However, the building was dated. Room was dirty, no fan in the bathroom, the ambience of the room was unpeasant. the bathroom was ill equipped. The shower didnt work so I had to take a bath, then the water didnt go down the drain, just sat there!

Anniversary stay

George Hotel was a lovely old hotel and as a lot of old hotels has no air conditioning. Our stay was during a heatwave but they did provide a fan in the room which was much appreciated. The staff were very lovely and very helpful. The food in restaurant was really good.
