Ideal for my needs
Perfect venue for my needs. Was very busy .. they had a couple of weddings there the day I stayed I think, so was a bit noisy until beyond midnight, but room was comfort had everything I needed. The place is a bit of a warren but that’s more about its age and character. Great breakfast.

Overall our stay was lovely, the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was very good. The only disappointment was the fridge didn't work. We psin extra to upgrade our room as it was our anniversary but when we got our champagne out of the fridge it was very warm so this was a little disappointing

Nice enough.
Nice hotel, I did ask the lady at check in to arrange an extra pillow for me which she didn’t do. This is why I have given a 4, A wedding was on at the same time so quite noisy at times and lots of stairs. My friend has a disability so she struggled with this and we did make the hotel aware she was disabled at check in as she needed a disabled car space.

We found the maids head hotel to be an excellent property. All of the staff were very helpful and courteous. The full English breakfast buffet was also excellent with an assortment of traditional British fair and lots of fruit and other options. It is conveniently located next to the Norwich Cathedral For those who want to pop in for EvenSong.

The Maids Head is perfectly located right by the cathedral, restaurants and pretty shopping streets of Norwich. Rooms were attractive, comfortable and clean. The lobby and ground floor sofa seating area is beautifully appointed. The bar, when we found it, was a bit unexpected - old fashioned pub style.
