Guest Reviews

• Guest (9/5): -
• Martin (9/5): -
• Selwyn (10/5): great location, parking and cosy room - walking distance to Uni and City but on bus route if don't like walking more than 10 mins
• Melonie (10/5): Lovely comfy stay - Lovely spacious room
• Heidi (8/5): Simple, uncomplicated accommodation for a uni interview. - Perfect place to stay for a Uni interview. Easy to find, easy access to bus routes.
• Rachelle (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Easy to book and get in, self-access via keybox. Comfortable bed and clean room and bathroom. nothing, no staff on site if you want assistance but a contact number available.
• Jamiyla (1/5): Overpriced and filthy - It wasn’t as advertised. The place was really run down and our room clearly suffered water damage and smelled earthy and damp. The carpets were filthy and the hot water didn’t work for 1 night of our stay.
• Charlotte (8/5): - The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was hot and powerful Bed made a lot of noise
• Charlotte (8/5): - Very comfortable bed. Message from staff lovely and informative Loose headboard on the bed, so every time I or my husband turned in bed it made a noise.
• paul (8/5): -
• Philippa (7/5): -
• Dani (8/5): Smooth and easy stay. - The property has a few - quite tight - parking spaces but this is to be expected in Norwich, parking is at a premium all over the city! It was easy and quick to get into once the codes had been received. It’s quiet and pretty. The buses run into town from a stop about 5 minutes walk away and they run back from the city until around 11.30pm. The en-suite was clean and nicely stocked with cosmetics. Two bottles of water supplied. Fridge in the room, really handy. The bed was a bit lumpy but not disturbingly so. No decaf coffee available 😪.
• Shanie (4/5): - The location was excess we were visiting University campus, and then city centre. Whilst the furniture, decor and amenities were old, everything was very clean, and the cleaners should be praised The bed was very uncomfortable: we couldn't really sleep on it. The mattress was very very new, but very soft. The bed frame itself was very old, and maybe this combined with the soft mattress meant it was like sleeping on a blow up air bed. Our lack of sleep meant we didn't stay for the planned second night Preferring to cut our trip short instead of suffer a second night if no sleep. I also didn't like that it was 'unmanned' - didn't realise when we booked that no staff would be on site, so when we arrived we thought it was abandoned/ closed as it was in complete darkness. But there was a person at the end of a ring door bell to tell us how to collect keys. Again personal preference, but we would have liked someone I hand and thought it was a regular B n B with onsite staff / owners.
• Gareth (8/5): No frills but clean, comfortable and warm. Manager helpful when we arrived good location for UEA and close to the city. -
• Guest (8/5): An enjoyable stay - Room was clean and comfortable. Ideal location for visiting my daughter at UEA and to access Norwich City Centre
• Philippa (8/5): Cosy room, nice and quiet. Would come again. - Great room, nice and peaceful. Tidy and felt private and safe. The bed was quite rickety and not the comfiest, but still managed to sleep fine.
• Jonathan (9/5): Comfortable. - Clean and tidy accommodation with good facilities. Comfortable bed. Tight parking space, though there is only a small area available for parking several cars.
• Alice (10/5): - The place was nice and comfortable felt very welcome
• Agnes (9/5): - Location, facilities
• Ruth (8/5): -
• Martin (9/5): - Nice big bed and large pleasantly decorated room. Breakfast is not provided, so we brought our own. 20 minutes walk from the University of East Anglia. We arrived late in the evening and had no difficulty using the key safe to get in. Can't think of anything.
• Katherine (3/5): - Location was good The furnishings were very cheap. The room had obviously not been cleaned extensively as there were black hairs all over the bathroom floor and beard shavings in the sink. The property itself smelled damp. Little care seemed to be put into making the place feel homely with random items scattered in the common areas such as ironing boards and random bags. I felt like I was the only one staying in the entire property with a very eery feel, particularly as check in is through a key box with no front desk or customer service.
• Tina (8/5): Mycket nöjd! - Trevligt att det fanns så man kunde göra kaffe och te på rummet. Och pricken över i:et de goda kakorna.
• Clare (8/5): really lovely building to stay in, always very clean with a fab range of soaps. Quiet and tidy - Great location, easy key pick up, great room. Great parking, good instructions and a very clean smelling room and building. All ensuite with a small TV and tea and coffee in every room which was lovely. Addition this time is that there was oatmilk which I thought was so fabulous. Well done! As a single traveller, there were just 2 things that I would have really appreciated (but not a problem) The door only had a key lock and whilst in the room at night I would have really loved a more secure way of locking the door - a bolt or additional key lock . Also as I was in room 7 and looked out onto the what I assume was the garden/cleaning room, it would have been really helpful to have some blinds or nets so I could have the curtains open without worrying about someone seeing in the room Very small things but really would have made me feel 100% more secure
• Maureen (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Perfect overnight stay. - Clean and comfortable room. Walking distance to University of East Anglia. Gated parking on property.
• KPJ (9/5): Overall very good, would return. - Easy to find. Key access and entry very easy. Spacious and comfortable. Great bathroom and very good shower. Duvet was 13.5 tog which is not very suitable for August. Also duvet was feather, which should maybe be mentioned in the description as some people, especially those with asthma, are allergic (although I am not).
• Rose (8/5): -
• chris (8/5): - Comfortable room No interaction with owners
• Angela (8/5): - Location Parking was tight, some of the garden needs timing back as that made the parking tight. The mattress was very very soft could not sleep.
• Samantha (9/5): A good place to stay for a festival at earlham park - The room was a good size, with a good bathroom..and great location The mattress was a bit too soft!
• Kim (9/5): A simple, clean, and conveniently located stay that suited our needs, though the room was very warm and parking limited. - The property was easy to locate and conveniently situated within walking distance of Earlham Park. It was very clean, tidy, and provided everything we required for an overnight stay. We were aware that breakfast was not included and planned accordingly. The bed was extremely comfortable with a very soft mattress, which we personally found lovely, though it may not suit all preferences It was an exceptionally hot day and, being on the second floor, the room became very warm. The main fan provided did not work despite trying different sockets, although a smaller one was available. Fortunately, we had brought our own larger fan after reading previous reviews, which was definitely needed. The property itself is quite simple with no added frills, and parking is limited to four very tight spaces—though we were able to secure one during our stay.
• M (8/5): - Met parking Ligging aan n drukke weg
• Emma (8/5): Great value for a lovely room - Lovely room, easy access Not having a bath
• jayne (8/5): Great value for money, fitted what we needed - Location was great for our needs. We didn't manage to get in the carpark, but street alongside was fine. Basic room but all we needed. Easy entry, good communication only for info, the fire drill map had wrong headings of ground floor/first floor
• Liz (10/5): Lovely place to stay. - Perfect location for Earlham park. Excellent size room and amazing shower. Very comfy bed.
• Jessica (8/5): A great place to lay your head. - A great place to stay overnight when needed! Very easy PIN code entry and decent facilities. I was pleasantly surprised. Small stain on the black pillow and could use an update but otherwise great!
• Diana (8/5): Very Comfy, Very Clean, pleasant view from the window .. and I loved the curtains in our rm. 5 - Location ... Convenient Maybe the system for obtaining the keys was a bit difficult for the older generation ... arthritic fingers etc !
• Thu (7/5): Good -
• Wendy (8/5): Arrandale Lodge didn't disappoint. - Location good. Limit parking
• Helen (9/5): Superb -
• Amelia (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (9/5): Superb -
• Chambers (10/5): Perfectly lovely and convenient. - We didn’t have breakfast or meet any staff. Location was excellent. Room was comfortable, good facilities and clean and tidy. Simplicity of checking in was great. More milk.
• A (8/5): Very good -
• Mahadi (9/5): Nice place for family short stay - Large and clean room nicely located near the UEA with onsite parking. Quiet and peaceful area. The water for the shower is very hot and the tap cannot be controlled to get access to cooler water
• Michael (6/5): Pleasant -
• Victoria (8/5): Very good -
• Karoline (8/5): Excellent value for money - Lovely room very clean, easy access to all local amenities. Excellent value for money we didn’t have any complaints
• Gregory (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Room was nicely decorated in African theme, clean and comfortable. Several options close by for meals and groceries Parking was a little tight to get into, but otherwise nothing to mention
• Jade (9/5): Superb -
• Andrew (9/5): Nice clean comfy room with everything you could need, spotlessly clean, will recommend and use again - Great location, easy to find easy access to the rooms
• Thomas (1/5): Our experience at Arrondale Lodge was not pleasant. We only had one towel in the room despite the booking being for 2 pe - No staff at the property. Only one towel for two guests No hot water
• Schalk (9/5): Superb -
• Janette (8/5): It was just right for our two night stay visiting family.convenient to the train station and Norwich sights - Very close to my cousins place Lumpy pillows
• Sharon (8/5): Generally great experience - Clean, bed comfortable in the triple room, quiet and had everything you need in room. The skylight woke me up very early in the morning due to light in room . There needs to be a blind for the skylight
• Daniel (9/5): Superb - Bed was too soft. Doubt it's healthy for one's back especially for long stays.
• Neil (10/5): Great value for money, very comfortable, and on the main route into the city. - Clean, comfortable, convenient and excellent value for money. All good.
• Roger (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet,comfy bed,clean Nothing to report
• Ellie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Amanda (9/5): Very easy self checkin - All very good. Would stay again within 2/3 miles of Norwich and Norfolk hospital
• Juliet (9/5): Great value accommodation - We stayed in the economy room because it offered us a quiet, clean, comfortable place to sleep and suited us that breakfast wasn't provided. Earlham Road was great location, too; within 10 minutes' walk of an evening event at the nearby Mitre that we have come to attend. The next morning, we jumped on the bus into town for a lovely brunch in the historic city centre before taking a train home. It would have been useful if the Booking.com blurb stated roughly what time of day the code to the key lockbox would be sent as I wouldn't have bothered the manager at 11am to ask about this
• Billing (9/5): Lovely room with good facilities and free parking close to UEA - Straightforward check in & nice clean room with good facilities Nothing
• Andrew (9/5): Big room, big beds. - The room was a really generous size and comfy too. The roof lights did let the early morning light in, but this isn't a problem if you're getting an early start anyway.
• Bruce (8/5): Very good - Convenient location, clean rooms Mattress was a little soft for me
• Jasmine (10/5): Second time staying here - Very spacious room for 4. love the lounge area to chill & the gorgeous bath!! Great location short taxi ride into Norwich city centre.
• Lesley (8/5): Very good - The room was large, very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was also a good size. The explanation on how to access the property was easy to understand. The room and bathroom were a little on the cold side, even though the radiators were working.
• Neil (8/5): Very good - Easy check in, easy facilities, parking
• Rebecca (9/5): Beautiful spacious room room & comfortable stay - Beautiful building & room. Like room key system. Would definitely stay again if needed to in the location. Need to make sure enough toilet items are available
• Dee (5/5): Passable -
• Angela (8/5): Clean, comfy and good facilities - Usually stay here to visit daughter at Uni, well positioned and easy. Booked the larger room for a change, had to contact staff about heating and they responded/dealt with straight away - they also had electric heater in room available. Some mould in bathroom and around shower
• Rosemary (7/5): Convenient and pleasant, but really lonely as a single traveller - The room was spacious and comfortable and clean and the bathroom ditto. So accommodation was fine and well appointed. The location was excellent for me as I was attending a course at the university. I have never been to a fully automated hotel before and I didn’t really enjoy the experience. I communicated with a ring doorbell to check in and there after so no one at around all but could ring the manager if I needed something. I found the lack of human contact strange and rather eerie. . I realise this is a personal thing and some people may be fine with it.
• Stacey (8/5): Very good - Good location with quiet, comfortable rooms. There is no one on site but you are provided with a contact number should you need it.
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jane (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tammy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Doreen (9/5): Highly recommend this property. - lovely and clean. Had all facilities required. it was very cold in Norwich but the radiator in the bedroom wasn't working so it was very cold when we arrived. Contacted them the next morning and someone arrived almost immediately to investigate. couldn't resolve until Monday but offered us another room. There was an electric heater in the room which we used instead.
• Andrew (7/5): Happy enough! - Close enough to the UEA to walk there. Parking OK although spaces are quite small. Room was quiet, comfortable and warm, although the bathroom was cold but I just left the door open to heat up from the bedroom, which was fine. I didn’t receive access instructions until 13:30; after I’d left home. I find this a bit stressful but it’s a minor issue.
• Clarke (8/5): Well equipped for a short stay. Nice sized rooms. - Easy to find. On site parking. Comfortable bed. Very clean (thank you!) There was a false alarm at 11.00 ish! No reason given and we just went back inside!
• Kristoffer (8/5): Lodge is fantastic in a great location for events at the lcr. - Room was lovely. Very clean. Contactless now used to like talking to the staff at breakfast
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location for us, nice big room, clean, Easy key safe entry, parking.
• Ryan (9/5): Good nights rest and very good value for money - Nice and comfortable. Shower was excellent. Only slight problem was access and the parking but apart from that, very good value for money.
• Philip (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathleen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angie (3/5): I arrived at the accommodation to find it in complete darkness, it looked like I was the only guest staying overnight. A - Car park vey tight. Only 1 pillow.
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Fani (8/5): Very convenient location, room a bit overcrowded. - We were upgraded to a superior room which was great. It was very spacious, with a seating/TV area, large four-poster bed. Two large windows, one overlooking beautiful big trees. The room felt too full of mismatched items (fridge under wooden dresser), antique bed but modern table and chairs etc. The cupboard was full of odd items (heater, fan, covers, pillows) and hard to open.
• Clarke (7/5): Short, comfortable easy to find and good communications. - Close to the hospital. Quiet . Parking. Clean and nicely equipped. The owners were quick to respond- full marks for that. Instructions to get in and leave were clear and easy to follow. Not that I disliked - but it is a little shabby and the hot water took forever to get to the tap/shower, which meant a lot of wasted water. It did feel a little pricey for what was offered. Having said that
• Clare (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (7/5): Good - Food left in fridge from previous guest !! Cold room and no heating when we arrived
• Darryl (7/5): Nice lodge in a good area. It’s a shame it’s not staffed - Well positioned for the university Bd bus routes into town, clean and comfortable It would’ve been nice to have staff and facilities - eg breakfast
• Elcome (10/5): Nice place - will stay again - Location was convenient for visiting my eldest daughter who is studying at UEA. Didn’t realise hotel was quite so close Parking - not good if you have a bigger car, but you can park on the road behind the hotel.
• Lee (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (10/5): A lovely stay - Just lovely. Clean. So tastefully decorated and so clean
• Michael (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet bed v comfy big room WiFi was very good A bit cold but when heating came on warm enough
• Carl (8/5): Very good -
• Kevin (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (4/5): Ok for 1 night - It was adequate Appearance from the outside
