10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable room (Executive room). Superb location. Friendly and helpful staff.
Pilar Veronica, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable Place to Stay

A comfortable but over-priced hotel in a good location. The few staff we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. It is disappointing to have to pay for parking on top of an already pricy room charge.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Such a well maintained, old hotel in the middle of the most historic part of Norwich. We really appreciated them allowing and being especially kind to our small dogs.
Michael, 1-night trip

Outstanding Stay

We had an absolutely excellent stay at the Maid’s Head Hotel. The room was gorgeous, spotless, and really comfortable. Every member of staff we met was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel special. Breakfast was amazing, with plenty of delicious vegan options. It was such a treat to have so much choice. Honestly, this was one of the best hotel stays we’ve had in a long time, and we can’t wait to go back!
Deborah, 1-night trip

Wonderful City Break

The bedroom & bathroom were clean & spacious. The hotel is in a perfect spot - nice & quiet with bars & restaurants nearby, and only 10 minutes walk to the heart of the city.

Wonderful inn

The hotel is located in an excellent spot near the cathedral. I would stay Despite trying two portable AC units (that didn’t cool) and multiple fans we were uncomfortably hot. It would have been nice to have a portable AC unit that blew cold air. We loved the inn and our room was very comfortable other than the temperature. The staff were helpful. We enjoyed the Sunday Roast in the restaurant.

Great place to stay and move around the city.

Great from beginning to end.

The Maids a little Ahead!

This hotel was an excellent choice due to its prime location next to the Anglican Cathedral, with a Wetherspoons 110yds down the road, shops 10 mins walk and station 15. The rooms were of a very high standard and house-keeping take a pride in ensuring customer excellence in the way it responds to needs.
The bar hosts local ales, gins, rums and other liquors.
Coffee on a bike!

Famous market with some artisan products.

Room with a view

Fantastic experience at the Maid's Head Hotel. We arrived at 1pm to drop off a bag and the receptionist allowed us to check in early and showed us to the room. The room was beautiful, filled with beams and a view of the cathedral. Drink at the bar was very nice. Buffet breakfast was the best we have had, local produce and cooked very well. Service throughout our stay was superb
