Overall OK...Nothing Special for the Price.
This was an OK Hotel, nothing special for the price paid. The Location was superb!! and right across the road from the Corn Exchange. The Hotel, as a façade, is impressive with lots of lovely old sitting areas and a great bar. Breakfast was a little disappointing to be honest and very limited cooked options: Full English ...for a Hotel of this rating we would have expected more choice. No in-room safes. The Team here are maybe it's best Asset..

The reception staff were very helpful and friendly- moved us to a different room to avoid some steep stairs and gave directions on how to get to places. Breakfast was good especially if booked with room giving good value. Also offers on dining and car parking during March a plus.

Unfortunately our room, 114 was very damp. It had a terrible smell as soon as you walked in. The shower worked well but the water didn't run away and was overflowing. This is obviously a common problem in this room as the wall of the ensuite has been patched up and shows serious water damage in the bedroom. Also the sink never emptied either. This shows really poor maintenance of the property. The staff that we spoke to were lovely, the location is brilliant for the town and local amenities. Doubt we'd stay here again though as the room was so bad. 114 should not be used again until the plumbing and damp has been properly rectified. A manger was supposed to call us and discuss the issue, but we have heard nothing.

The Dukes Head has always been the main hotel in the town (I grew up in Kings Lynn) and I was looking forward to the stay. Whilst the diwnstairs public areas were lovely the second floor was very tired and to be.honest a real disappointment. The room was clean although there were stains on the throw on the bed but the furniture has laminate missing in several areas and you could see the chipboard underneath. The tv didnt work although this was rectified The shower drained very slowly and I had to turn the shower off midway through and wait 3 or 4 minutes to prevent flooding the bathroom. We were offered a different room but as we were heading out to meet family for a meal we decided to stay The hotel were aware of the drainage issues so I am not sure why they.put us in there when there were obviously other rooms available.

Very convenient to explore Kings Lynn on foot. The only thing the hotel need to improve on are the lights in the room. They are very dim and the room look quite gloomy.

A good stay as it was mid week. I’ve stayed there over a weekend previously and there are high noise levels due to the function room. A bit cold in the winter morning as the heating went off in the night.

Sad, it could be so much better
Very depressing hotel. The decor was drab and lacked any personal touches. It gives the impression it is well past its prime. That said, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast good with fresh fruit, a well cooked breakfast let down by poor coffee and no honey. A snack in the bar was disappointing, no ciabatta despite being in the menu and no sparkling water (like the honey awaiting delivery) This could be a good hotel because it is in an excellent central location but until it receives a shakeup, it is best avoided.

Disapointing
Have stayed here several times in the past and always felt the service and auality was very good. Not this time i'm afraid. We had several issues that included the electronic lock on our bedroom door not working and having to walk to reception 4 times to get new cards then wait over 2 hours until they brought in a maintenance man to fix it before we could get it. Checked in 2pm got into the room properly 4 hours later. We dined in the main restaurant that evening, 31st Dec, and the menu, which is usually very good, was limited and thr quality was quite poor accross all of our meals. We were given a partial refund but not before being quized by the manager. There were lots of other things including limited staff at times. We would have to think hard before staying again, such a shame as it is very handy for the corn exchange.
