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.

Superb central location, very close to the cathedral and also an easy walk to the centre of the city. Reception and housekeeping staff were helpful. Parts of the hotel are admittedly a little tired, and need upgrading. Also, some better signage around the hotel would be helpful (it's quite a maze). But a pleasant stay, and we would return on our next stay in Norwich.

Great Hotel with Easy Parking.
Great little hotel with bucket loads of history, good price and with the added rarity of a city-centre hotel with parking. Breakfast was also excellent. We will definitely return for future Norwich shopping trips!

Lovely old hotel. We had a room in the 'new' part which was well outfitted and had the benefit of very good air-conditioning (it was 30 deg when we stayed). Hotel is conveniently located near cathedral and shopping areas. We will stay again.

We enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay in August for our wedding anniversary. The room was pleasant and comfortable with an excellent shower. A family member had arranged for us to have afternoon tea with Prosecco. It was delicious and taken in the restaurant. We also made use of the complimentary Bentley drive on the Sunday morning. Nigel took us on tour of the city and outskirts. Breakfast buffet was excellent and there was lots of choice. Hotel is next door to cathedral and is a great base for exploring Norwich. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed her in February and the room then was a lot better than the one we were in this time .To me the room felt and smell a bit damp. Also l really struggled with the shower when l put it on it was on the bath setting and l couldn’t move it to the shower and l had to get my husband to turn it off . The staff were very helpful and friendly and we will come back .

Lovely building and well placed in the town centre . Noticed stairs were dirty in places and cutlery not clean. Other than that the rooms were comfortable and nice . The noise was mainly from The neighbouring pubs . All in all a pleasant stay

Lovely property with a great heritage. Restaurant was a bit pricey and the quality was variable on the night we ate in. Loads of great eateries with minutes from the hotel so it was not a problem. Very friendly staff, would certainly stay there again.

Booked months ahead for 3 nights in Executive room in historic hotel. The room had no character, & no outlook as base of window was at chin height, and on tiptoe gave view of carpark. Room size and bathroom good but not noteworthy. Disappointing.

Comfortable, peaceful night away
Stayed in a single room for one night. The room was bright and overlooking the courtyard, with a spacious bathroom (and excellent water pressure in the shower!). The bed was really comfy and I had a great night’s sleep. There was a fridge in the room which was very handy, and the room was otherwise well-appointed, although the full length mirror being hung in a corner beside the bed was a bit impractical. Ordering room service was very easy using the iPad provided, and you can make other requests using it. The hotel is right next to the cathedral and it’s less than 10 minutes’ walk to the shops etc. in the centre.
