Mixed feelings about this hotel
The beds were tired, the shower leaked into the bedroom and the bathroom extractor fan went on for 40 minutes. On the plus side great location, desk staff were very friendly and parking was secure

Not for business, ok for pleasure
I recently stayed at the St Giles on a business trip. Couldn't fault the people who work there, absolutely everyone I interacted with was wonderful. Areas for improvement: one of the light bulbs wasn't working in the room and hadn't been changed, and the lighting in the room in general was very dark when trying to work. There were no accessible plug sockets in the room to plug my laptop in - again tricky when working. I ended up doing a zoom call sat on the floor plugged into a socket under a dressing table (not desk) by unplugging the fridge because of a lack of access. I accept the hotel is old but these are really basics that most people will need and so perhaps thought to renovating with the end user in mind might be useful. The TV didn't work properly for poor signal which is easily resolved. The water took a considerable time to warm up which is fine if you're not in a hurry to get somewhere. All in all, if you're going to Norwich for a leisurely trip and not in a hurry then this hotel is probably for you. If you need efficiency and the ability to work it's probably not the best choice.

Beautiful building but a lot of money for what we ended up with. The room was dirty and not well maintained. The bathroom needs a serious update. A shame because the building is beautiful but there’s clearly no money being spent on the upkeep. Won’t be coming here again.

Had to hunt for receptionist for quite some time, approaching 10 mins. Found a body eventually and receptionist arrived. Very efficient check in and service after that. Bathroom v basic. Breakfast not too good. Felt that manager was trying hard but some staff perhaps needed more training.

It was relatively expensive and bit eccentric, a blend of stylish and unloved. Shower was tired and old. Would stay again if other options not available.

Fantastic location in the centre of Norwich
Fantastic value for money hotel right in the centre of Norwich - as long as you’re staying midweek? It’s not perfect - my room was looking a little tired and that was after an upgrade. You have to expect a few minor issues but you’re supporting an independent hotel. There is car park right in the middle of town which can be a challenge to reach. The entrance from the car park isn’t too grand and it’s a guess where the reception is. It needs a bit of money spending on it and could do with a chef in the evening but I’m guessing they’ll get there. The staff are all very helpful and an asset to the hotel. I will be staying at St Giles again.

Appalling!
We stayed in the grand suite for one night. On entering the suite there was a smell of bad drains. One of the bathrooms was locked and we were not allowed the key. The shower room had a blocked sink and the toilet seat was poor quality plastic and had to be held up by hand when using.The upholstery in the sitting room was badly stained and ripped. The furniture was of poor quality. There was damp in several areas. The bedding was flimsy. The wood flooring was unstable in places. The windows were single glazed and allowed traffic noise during the night. There were no robes or slippers. Toiletries were underwhelming. We complained immediately and asked to see the manager or for her to contact us. We were told that was not possible and that we must contact her by email. This we did but she did not have the courtesy to reply. Breakfast service was poor and the food average. The hotel had an air of neglect. We have since learned that the “St Giles House Hotel” is up for sale.
