Best place to stay in Norwich
I visit Norwich, my old college town, annually, and always stay at The Maid’s Head. Authentic, period building. Great location for cathedral and downtown. Fascinating layout and unique rooms. Convenient parking. Always love my stay there.

8/10 Very good

Would recommend
Beautiful classy hotel in a great location. Friendly and helpful staff, you even get a free ride around the City in a vintage Bentley. Would definitely stay here again. Only complaint was the pillows, but this criticism can be levelled at most hotels, I guess they can’t use feather pillows for allergy reasons. Note to self, Will bring my own next time!

Working in Norwich
Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was very clean and comfortable with air conditioning and a large walk in shower. My room was attended to every day without having to ask. Breakfast had a higher choice and something for everyone. I’m staying again next week.
Steve, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely perfect location right by the cathedral and a short walk to sites and restaurants all around Norwich. The Maids Head is a very classy, old school hotel that is clearly proud of its history and tradition.
