Hotels met parking in Norfolk, United Kingdom

A potentially lovely little serviced accommodation. Superficially tidy but everything a bit tired and grubby. No hairdryer, stale refillable bottles of toiletries, crusty bits around the taps etc. It is so close to being gorgeous; it just needs a bit of love! The noise from the pub over the road was pretty bad but that’s to be expected during graduation weekend. The concierge at the desk was very pleasant and I feel bad giving this review but it is honest.

**Absolutely fabulous gem of a hotel – we’re already planning our return!** I’m almost reluctant to sing its praises too loudly in case we can’t get a reservation next time, but I simply cannot recommend The Ocean highly enough. This place is an absolute standout. From the moment you arrive, the service is exceptional. The team is warm, highly attentive, and genuinely approachable – every single member made us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking. They anticipated our needs before we even asked, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast was superb, with a wonderful selection to suit every taste and waistline. What really elevated it was the full table service – a lovely, touch that made the whole experience feel special and relaxed. The hotel restaurant is an absolute must. After scouting every other option in the area, we ended up eating there both nights of our stay because it was, without question, the best find around. The menu offers a fantastic selection, everything is cooked fresh to order, and every dish we tried was outstanding. The portions are generous yet perfectly judged – so much so that we sadly couldn’t squeeze in a dessert, though the menu looked every bit as tempting as the mains. The hotel itself has been decorated with real taste and care throughout. Our room was stunning – fresh, modern, and incredibly welcoming, while still feeling cosy and homely. It’s such a refreshing change from the usual tired, tacky seafront offerings; the team has clearly poured heart and soul into creating somewhere that feels both stylish and genuinely comforting. Overall, The Ocean is a superb find – one of those rare places that ticks every box and leaves you smiling from check-in to check-out. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area. A huge thank you to the entire team at Ocean – you’ve set the bar incredibly high!

The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the train station, with convenient shopping and dining nearby, including a large supermarket, McDonald's, and some discount stores. It's a bit of a distance to the city center, about a 20-minute walk. There's a bus directly to the university from the train station. As other guests have mentioned, even if a room is clean and ready, the hotel won't allow early check-in, strictly enforcing the 3 PM check-in time. The front desk staff were chatting and laughing among themselves, then told guests to sit and wait until 3 PM. So, by 3 PM, guests had to line up again to check in. I originally booked this hotel because it had air conditioning, fearing high temperatures this year. However, the 'air conditioning' in the room only blew air and had no temperature control. I ended up having to open the window for ventilation, which was fine as the outside temperature was lower than the room temperature during my stay. I wish I had booked a hotel in the city center; it would have been more convenient.

The staff is so nice and the room is very clean. Highly recommended :)

A Perfect Day at The Bedingfeld Arms! What a truly wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, The Bedingfeld Arms delivered exactly what we were hoping for—and more. Nestled in a charming location, it felt like a gentle escape into the countryside, with just the right mix of warmth and ease. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. We lingered over our meal, not wanting it to end! The rooms were just what we needed: cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. It was so lovely to wake up refreshed and step out into such a peaceful setting. While some might wish for a slightly more “posh” or traditional pub feel—Tom did miss the classic old-world touches like dark walnut floors and the scent of oak smoke in the air—we both appreciated the light, airy ambiance and modern comfort. It’s clear The Bedingfeld Arms has found its own style, and it’s working beautifully. Altogether, it was a delightful, cheerful, and refreshing day, and we’re so glad we chose to spend it here. Thank you to everyone at The Bedingfeld Arms for making it so special—we can’t wait to return!

Преимущества: 1. Расположение: близко к вокзалу, автобусной остановке и магазинам первой необходимости. Рядом есть бар. 2. Персонал помогает при необходимости Недостатки: 1. В номере было грязно. Ржавая ложка, в кружке липкий налёт, раковина грязная. Возникло ощущение, что номер не убирали после предыдущих жильцов. Нет розетки у кровати. 2. Узкие лестницы и отсутствие лифта. Лучше без тяжёлого чемодана.

The hotel is extremely convenient for the station being about 5-10 minutes walk and central Norwich which takes about 20 minutes. The public areas and rooms are kept very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room facilities are adequate but then you're not paying for a 5-star experience so that's not really an issue. A couple of minor quibbles in the bathroom - the silicone on the basin has started peeling, the shower was leaking from the unit down the hose affecting the pressure to the head and there is nowhere convenient to put your towel when showering. These could all be room specific and, having been reported, may well have already been corrected. Overall though a good, clean, reasonably priced hotel with nice staff in a convenient location to which we would happily return.

Booked for one night to go to the football at Carrie road which is about 15min walk from hotel town centre is about 20min walk, it is easy to get to from the station just a short walk, arrived and some other guests let me in at first as the manager was not there, he arrived a few minutes later and quickly booked quests in, very easy process he showed me were I was staying as staying the other side of hotel, told me if I had any problems to ring the number on the paper stuck to the back of the door, and if I wanted to use the WiFi the code was also there. Room was small but had a shower toilet and sink as well as a hairdryer and clothes rack. There was also a kettle with tea and coffee facilities. Overall place was clean and tidy I stayed in the top part at the front it was a pleasant stay.

Communal toilets were clean, the hotel was warm but due to not being able to adjust the heating in the room ( house rules ) it was unbearably hot so we had to have the window open - no consideration from the staff at the restaurant next to the hotel as they were loudly throwing things into the bins just below our room at 12am. Therefore my partner had extremely broken sleep, did not feel rested and was exhausted the next day, but good value for what it is and likely better for solo business travelling as the hotel can supply earplugs. Rang the number for the hotel as advised before checking in, called three times but no answer so had to ring the doorbell twice before being let in, staff seemed unhappy to be answering the door and slightly unwelcoming ( this was at only 5pm )
