Dukes head

The room was small, but reasonably clean. The mattress was awful! The shower head is fixed, but has slight movement (this should have had more movement as it is on a rose coupling), meaning the spray went past the glass screen. Extremely poor quality toilet paper. Breakfast definitely not worth £12.50! Other than that it was ok, just a moderate 3 star hotel.

One of front desk personnel was less than helpful when checking out. We needed a cab to the train station. I was handed a piece of paper with 4 cab cos phone number and told to call myself. One cab company "on vacation", two didn't answer, one said they would be an hour which would have been too late to catch our train back to London. I then asked for walking directions and was told she didn't know where the station was located. Although only ten minutes by car it would have been very difficult to manage with our suitcases. I then asked if someone else in the back office could give me directions. She then sought out someone else to help us. We were about to set off walking when a cab driver on vacation who happened to be in the parking lot on the time heard of our plight and offered to give us a ride. I feel the personnel member was not helpful and certainly should know where the train station is located and how to get there for situations such as these.

I have stayed in several historic town centre hotels and this one is a pleasant surprise. The rooms and decor are clean and modern - well designed and comfortable. What lets this hotel down is the service, particularly at breakfast. Despite one serving staff for every two tables there were empty table uncleared, coffee and some food stations were empty and unrefreshed. Staff didnt show guests to their table and no explanation was given of how the buffet worked or whether ypu could order from the kitchen. I was very unimpressed.

I had booked a room for my son and I, a room they when I booked said slept three so I assumed this would mean a minimum of 2 beds in the room - there was only one double so I had to pay to upgrade the room. WiFi in the lounge part of the hotel was non existent so working would be nigh on impossible. The bedroom we were placed was fine apart from the taps , shower head that were both loose and not fixed in place along with broken shower controls. I’ve stayed at this hotel before and it looks like standards have slipped which is a shame as this is a premium hotel in the centre of Kings Lynn. Please fix the WiFi, both me and the two friends I met there for afternoon coffee remarked that they would avoid using the hotel as a meeting place for that reason alone. A disappointing stat with unexpected additional costs.

The atmosphere in the hotel was very good and quiet. The staff were faultless in their attention to our needs well done everyone. The room we were in was a bit tired and needed some TLC especially in the bathroom.

Would not class this hotel 4 star. A lot of money has been spent on the communal areas which are very nice. Bedrooms and carpets not so much. Bedding clean and bed comfortable. Stingy with biscuits. Only 1 a day each Lotus biscuits. Room needs decorating, lots of marks on walls. No light over mirror. The light is at the back of you so it is dark.Large mark on ceiling where light fitting had been moved. Chips on woodwork and dirty windows. We also had to pay £15.00 per 24 hrs for security parking which is excessive. Carpets were filthy with lots of stains throughout in communal areas and bedroom. Breakfast was buffet and on the first morning there were no croissants or pastries and it was only 8.45am. My husband had a cooked breakfast which he said was warm. On the second morning there were a few pastries left and no croissants left. My husband had a lukewarm cooked breakfast.
