The Griffin Hotel

Room not very clean, and smelt strongly of cigarettes. Not a nice feel to the place, in desperate need of some tlc

酒店在英國東部，倫敦東北部的一個小鎮上，小鎮叫做Attleborough。酒店位置在小鎮中心，一樓是酒館，二樓有幾個房間，酒店附近有兩個超市，買東西很方便。就是酒店自己停車場太小，衹能停四五輛車，而且進出都是極限走位，如果停到附近的中央停車場，衹需要步行三四分鐘，但需要收費，而且，我停了一晚，竟然在車門劃了一長道，不知道是不是有酒鬼。酒店服務人員很淳樸，房間非常舒適，窗外就是教堂。

A lovely English Inn. It’s an old building looking out on the town and church. The bed was comfortable and room was warm. The staff very friendly. Breakfast was great. Richard is a character. Will come again when visiting family. A proper old fashioned Inn

The hotel was welcoming and the people were really friendly, the bar was good and the food was nice, that’s where the food ends unfortunately, the rooms are very tired and not as clean as they should be, the shower didn’t look like it had been cleaned, the shower head was blocked and I had to clean it with my toothbrush (now disposed of) the building is 400 years old and I’m not sure if the mattresses or decor have been updated much since

This is a very sad and dated establishment in need of serious improvement. The decor, the building and the staff all look sad and tired. It is unclean in many areas including our bedroom and bathroom, so much so that we didn't use the shower. The lady doing the cooking is obviously a good home cook but struggled to serve 11 meals to the 4 tables in the restaurant and cancelled deserts so no-one got a sweet that night. At breakfast we had to wait as there are 6 rooms and only 4 tables. Everything just seemed such an effort for the staff.

The host & staff were very polite and engaging. Parking was restricted to small cars, but on street parking was freely available in front of the hotel. I had visited the bar on previous visits to Snetterton Circuit, which was a traditional style of 1970's decor, which I liked. The breakfast was excellent value, with quality items one step up from the high streel economy hotel brands. Plenty of it, with a decent selection of options.The cost of £80 per night for my wife & I was reasonable for a one off stay, but the room was only just wide enough to house the double bed, but had a desk with draws for a few clothes. The bed was comfortable and the pillows sumptuous and clean, but there were a few negatives my wife said I should mention. Now I dont want to sound like a hotel inspector, but the following were obvious oversights.T he first was that the heating was on 24/7 an unable to be controlled in the room, so we had the windows open all the time we were in the room. The outside temperature was about 15 degrees, but using my phone app, the inside more like 25 degrees with the windows shut.The walls were originally decorated with white art ex plaster, which had become stained over its life and the groove in the plaster were dust traps meaning that the cornice areas were full of cobwebs. The paint scheme was in ned of a good clean and make over and the carpet started going threadbare on the stairs from the bar. The toilet needed cleaning round the hinge are of the seat as it was brown and stained. The shower needed a service, as the water control valve was very stiff to operate and the heat control was locked into the 35+ range and could not be switched off. We have a similar shower at home so it was not operator error, probably just scaled up. For me it was acceptable, as I have stayed in much worse, but with a little more due diligence, it should have been a 4* review, never going to get 5* due to the type and age of the property, location and cost. I would not deter anyone staying for a short break, as the host is a nice chap, but any longer than a night or two and the negatives i mentioned above, would annoy me. I hope this gives you an honest overview of our experience. I would probably stay again, as it is convenient for my wife & i to support our son at a Snetterton race weekend.

I hadn't been here for 26 years when I last stayed and Richard was waiting behind the bar just as he was before. I stayed here with my wife for the weekend while attending a race meeting at Snetterton. The building is old and historic and if you bare that in mind you'll appreciate what a great place it is. Great food and excellent service. I won't be waiting 26 more years to revisit.

Great dinner, lovely breakfast and decent beer. Friendly, super helpful staff. Whilst the room was a little small it was perfectly adequate for a single night stay. My only gripes would be that the shower was weak and there was a bit of road noise.

Just back from the Griffin Hotel in Attleborough, Norfolk. This hotel dating back to 1560 is full of character, there have been a few negative reviews and yes the bedrooms are a bit tired, but they are spotlessly clean and the floor boards do creak (why wouldn't they) our evening meal was delicious, we both had the lamb shank and our breakfast was equally good too! Many thanks to our host's who couldn't do enough for us..
