Overall our stay was lovely, the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was very good. The only disappointment was the fridge didn't work. We psin extra to upgrade our room as it was our anniversary but when we got our champagne out of the fridge it was very warm so this was a little disappointing

Nice enough.
Nice hotel, I did ask the lady at check in to arrange an extra pillow for me which she didn’t do. This is why I have given a 4, A wedding was on at the same time so quite noisy at times and lots of stairs. My friend has a disability so she struggled with this and we did make the hotel aware she was disabled at check in as she needed a disabled car space.

We found the maids head hotel to be an excellent property. All of the staff were very helpful and courteous. The full English breakfast buffet was also excellent with an assortment of traditional British fair and lots of fruit and other options. It is conveniently located next to the Norwich Cathedral For those who want to pop in for EvenSong.

The Maids Head is perfectly located right by the cathedral, restaurants and pretty shopping streets of Norwich. Rooms were attractive, comfortable and clean. The lobby and ground floor sofa seating area is beautifully appointed. The bar, when we found it, was a bit unexpected - old fashioned pub style.

Superb central location, very close to the cathedral and also an easy walk to the centre of the city. Reception and housekeeping staff were helpful. Parts of the hotel are admittedly a little tired, and need upgrading. Also, some better signage around the hotel would be helpful (it's quite a maze). But a pleasant stay, and we would return on our next stay in Norwich.

Great Hotel with Easy Parking.
Great little hotel with bucket loads of history, good price and with the added rarity of a city-centre hotel with parking. Breakfast was also excellent. We will definitely return for future Norwich shopping trips!
