This was our third stay at The Bank House and the staff in general have always been friendly and helpful. The Bar areas are well appointed and service was good. Our room ( Purfleet ) was at the top of the building and had a nice view over the square. The room itself is a little dated ( Bathroom in particular) but had nice touches like a coffee machine / nibbles etc.

A room with a view
Attic room, so a couple of flights of stairs, but the guy at check in carried both our cases upstairs for us. Lovely view of the Great Ouse. We enjoyed people watching from the two window. Appreciated the electric fan in the room. Breakfast was nice and the staff helpful and pleasant. The lady staff member enjoyed a laugh when she mistook my bearded husband gor another bearded guest.

Property was great. Breakfast was really good. Area around the hotel was pretty dead, but there were a few good restaurants. Public parking was difficult to navigate

12 bedrooms in an historical building next to the River Ouse with plenty of car parking and within easy walking distance of rail and bus stations and the town centre. Locally the Bank House is known for its restaurant, which did not disappoint. A lovely room also. The electric shower was slow to work and difficult to control, but that was my only complaint. I'd stay there again.

Lovely location for a visit to historic Kings Lynn. Hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable of area. Breakfasts exceptional in variety and cooking. The restaurant had a reasonably priced menu with well cooked food. Room amenities good even in the Garret room.

The only issue is parking. The Kings Lynn parking machine requires you to feed coins for limited hours. I had to download their unique pay app to avoid feeding the meter every few hours day and night.

One night stay
Bank House was beautiful. A couple of problems, there was nobody at reception when we arrived, vey tired, despite having already spoken to the manager saying we would be arriving shortly. We had to ask someone serving in the restaurant to find the manager on duty. There was a missing curtain hook at the end of the curtain rail, meaning the curtain didn't close properly. That said, we enjoyed our stay, the bedroom was clean and comfortable and there was plenty of water for a shower in the morning. Sadly, there is no dedicated parking. but it was only a small charge overnight at the parking meter outside. We had to top up again at 8am. The breakfast was exceptional. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.
