Best Western Annesley House Hotel 6 Newmarket Road, Norwich NR2 2LA

"An old established hotel in Norwich. The welcome when we arrived was a little over-efficient and generic but when I asked a few days later about the history of the hotel, the staff member was friendly and personal. It was our first visit here and we always book dinner on the first night but ended up having dinner the 2nd night too as it was very nice and we werd tired. We had a very quiet room with no traffic noise, the bed was very soft (hubby felt a bit claustrophobic in it) but was clean and the room decor kept to the theme of art deco. Breakfast was very tasty with good choice of local food. Hot water inbthe room was very hot and quick to heat up. Nice garden and pond in central courtyard"

"Legend says that The Magi followed a star to reach Bethlehem. We just follow a well-trodden road to reach our go to hotel in Norwich. This was a pre-Christmas stay of four nights, arriving Sunday 4 December. It’s fair to say that Ebenezer Scrooge, before his redemption, wouldn’t approve of The Annesley House. Very good value, excellent food, superb staff. During the Festive Season there is an extra magic as decorations appear throughout the public areas making it even more warm and inviting. The hotel is a short walk from central Norwich with its many excellent pubs and eateries. There is ample car parking – even Santa could park his sleigh, though I’m not sure where the reindeer could be accommodated, maybe nearby Chapelfield Gardens – and buses stop right outside as well. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Norwich and remember that The Annesley isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life."

"We recently stayed for 2 nights. The staff were superb, room large and comfortable, breakfast excellent and the price considering the exceptionally high standards was very reasonable. Can't recommend this hotel highly enough"

"Excellent hotel. Staff go extra mile to make sure your stay is perfect. Food of a high quality. Hotel made up of 3 old houses within landscaped gardens. Stayed in executive room. Big room with full amenities including bathroom with jacuzzi bath."

"We had our cousins reunion here this weekend. They could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The hotel is very convenient for the town centre within walking distance. It is in a row of converted houses so the rooms vary and there are fairly narrow staircases up to some of the rooms. Being right on a major road, car noise can be an issue so ask for a rear room if you prefer. Our room was very clean and comfortable though the beds are a bit bouncy. The meals were all excellent and served promptly in the conservatory. It is very good value."
