Top Banham Zoo Hotel Reviews

Park Farm Hotel & Leisure

10/10 Excellent

"Just to say we would go back again."

Best Western Annesley House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fantastic location for downtown Norwich Very friendly staff and great breakfast"

The Maids Head Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking on site was good and one of the reasons we booked this hotel. The noise from the outside road though facing the street was more than expected due to late night revellers. The food at the restaurant was okay, although I thought was expensive for what it was I only got 2 small pieces of lamb for £29. The quality and taste was okay though, but there are other places to go and eat which are nicer and better value. Location of the hotel was very good though in terms of being able to walk around the city."

Holiday Inn Norwich City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very enjoyable 3 night stay. Well equipped and comfortable room overlooking Norwich city football ground. Plenty of parking both outside the hotel and a few yards away for the football ground. Excellent breakfast choice. Couldn't fault it. 15 min walk into city or catch the number 25 bus nearby. Thank you."

Best Western Brome Grange

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was a highlight. Friendly, helpful staff. Good facilities in the room. Room was tired with a slight damp odour in the bathroom."

Nysdill Accommodation Ltd

8/10 Good

"There should have been some coat hangers for storing certain items of clothing. The mattress I slept on had seen better days and really needed replacing. The information above is meant only to assist in establishing improved hotel stays. Thank You."

Dragonfly Hotel Bury St Edmunds

8/10 Good

"Good hotel service and staff Bit out of town so need to get a cab / uber but free parking is a bonus"

The Thomas Paine

8/10 Good

"Property was a bit strange from outside has it did not open until 3pm when the bar opened it was closed again early so no food in restaurant available. Once closed the only people in the building were guests no staff. Although it didn't look great outside the rooms were very nice and well equipped. Overall good stay for one night and plenty of places to eat."
