Enjoyed our stay.bed was comfortable. A fan in the room which was very useful only wished the tea and coffee and milk was replenished in our room every day.

Stay was perfectly fine, front desk was helpful about parking info. Pleasant all round stay
Great position close to city centre and on bus routes. Very helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate needs. Room clean, comfortable, well equipped. Pleasant area. We had a lovely stay there - thank you!
Great location - convenient for rail station & town centre. Room was clean & well kept. Communal fridge & microwave facilities were an unexpected bonus.
The only downside was that noise travelled quite a lot & we were woken early by people preparing breakfast.
Clean large room, noisy at night but closing the window was effective in reducing that to acceptable levels.
Staff were excellent
Breakfast was adequate but not extensive.
No parking
I should of been told this was a hotel that people live there the hotel was smelly and the room was so small and dark dirty I couldn’t stay there so gave the key back and asked for a refund and no was the answer so stay clear of this place parking is limited
Nice place, well maintained and kind stuff. Only small issue is that we were sleeping on the ground floor and could hear the steps from the room upstairs… but I guess that’s something relatively normal in these type of hotels/B&B.
I booked a one-night stay in an en-suite single room and was very happy by how well-equipped it was—it had everything I needed, from a fan to a kettle. The room was wonderfully quiet and comfortable. The only minor downside is that the window faces east, so blackout curtains would have been a great addition to keep the early morning sun out. Overall, a lovely stay and highly recommended!

Convenient if travelling by train, beds made once during 4 night stay, cleaned once during the same time. Sink had come away from the wall and the shower was leaking sufficiently that I isolated the power.
Had to ask for clean towels and water for the kettle

Breakfast was simple. Very few options besides bread and yogurt and juice.
Changed rooms due to bugs and ants on bed and desk.
Staff was friendly enough.
If you’re staying in Norwich, it’s a close location to the train station, but i’d recommend a different location than this one - even if you’re paying a bit more.

Staff friendly and helpful, room and bathroom clean. Close to town. Great hotel, will definitely return.
The Marlborough was comfortable, clean and good value. The front desk people were very helpful and let us park the car for an extra day in order to explore Norwich a little more. Thank you!

The hotel was OK, near the train station and riverside with places to eat.
Lovely place to stay, all areas are very clean as was the room . The staff here were all very friendly and helpful. Parking is limited but there os a large payable car park opposite the property. This was our first time here and certainly won't be our last.
