We paid for breakfast for our 2 nights stay. First morning it was fine, second morning nobody turned up at the time breakfast was advertised. Sat waiting for 30 minutes doors locked, no response despite us trying to contact them. We ended up leaving without breakfast. Not great service.

Disappointing 4th visit here for my birthday. Booked garden view but was given a room over looking road and bins. There was thick dust on tv bracket and the milk on tray was a month out of date and the hot chocolate over a year over best before.
The paint on walls was chipped off in places. Bed was comfortable and clean and I enjoyed my evening meal.

We arrived a couple of hours prior to check in but as the weather was beautiful we enjoyed a drink in the beer garden. The young lady behind the bar then managed to get us checked in ahead of time. She was extremely helpful, imparting local knowledge of the area etc. The hotel is in a beautiful quiet area of the broads with a local friendly boatyard to hire day or hourly trips along the waterways. Hotel food was good and breakfast was amazing all freshly cooked to order. Great staff, lovely place. Will definitely be back

The breakfasts were good, although they weren't included, but it was hard to get an evening meal. The room I stayed in was near the road and boiler/ air conditioning so it was very noisy so I slept very badly. The fire alarm went off early in the morning and we didn't get any information from the staff so didn't know if it was safe to return to our rooms. Although geographically it worked well I wouldn't stay there again.

Room was clean but overall the hotel is in need of a full refurbishment. It looks worn and dated. Yes it is a period property but still could do with a spruce up. Lunch time bar staff (one only) did not have a clue; he said that he was just doing a favour and didn’t usually do bar work. Games room was basic with pool table (no chalk) and a dart board.. We booked a table for an evening meal but service was so diabolical, we went elsewhere. It took more than five minutes to be seen to our table, then having been told that someone would bring menus and take our drinks order, we waited another 20 minutes then just menus but no drinks order; and no, the place was not busy. The menu was totally different from the one left in the room, no steaks, grills etc. The evening bar was left unattended for long periods and then locals seemed to be favoured over guests.

This is our 2nd stay in this hotel, and once again, it was perfect for us! There has been a change in management since we were last here, and the current manager & partner were busy decorating the rooms. They have a lot to do, but are clearly working hard on it. They are friendly and welcoming. The chef there is fantastic! He is gradually changing the menu, but all the food we had was superb! Very good cooked breakfast, and the evening meal we had was excellent- try the Tandoori Lamb Chops, they’re wonderful! Nothing is too much for these hosts, and we will definitely be returning for a 3rd year!

Stayed here before and the function room and some areas are looking neglected we understand the roof needs replacing on the function room and that there are plans in progress shorty. Needs some love to restore the curb appeal around the check in entrance to give a better first impression.

Outside of hotel is a little tired. Very tired in some places.

Corridors looked dated.

So a pleasant surprise when I opened the door to the room and it was spotlessly clean, modern decor and cute accessories. Really modern TV too.

Breakfast was fine. Didn’t blow us away but had everything you need. Tea, coffee, juice, cereal, toast and a few standard English cooked options.

Staff were lovely and helpful.

Hairdryer may have been useful in the rooms. Soap and shampoo available and TV worked perfectly and good WiFi. Location is brilliant with lovely riverside location and great for using as a base.

On arrival the hallway smelt of mildew. The room and bathroom had the window open. Once closed the room smelt strongly of mildew. There was black. Mould in the bathroom. The room was freezing. Originally we booked for 3 nights. We were out of the room between 7am and 11pm at family's for Christmas. The second night there was no heating in the room it was awful. In the morning we tried the shower. It was either ice cold or it would burn. We gave up then not bothering with the third night. On leaving I aired my grievance with a staff member. She stated she would tell the manager. A pretty poor response. It really was an awful place.

A good sized room with ample bathroom space. Comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, good safe outside space to exersize our dog. Staff were very helpful and friendly, despite challenges. Food good and plentiful, friendly atmosphere in the bar. However, central heating was intermittant and despite regular contact from staff, manager wasn't willing or able to turn it on in evening. We were given a fan heater which helped overcome freezing temperatures. Unable to turn off vanity light in the bathroom and shower temperature control didn't work. This accommodation was good value for money and could be excellent with more investment into the infrastucture.

If you don't mind hearing someone weeing from the next guest room, then this hotel is fine.
To be honest. We were disappointed from stepping into the property. We were greeted by a young girl who asked me to make payment for our pre-paid stay. I checked my emails and confirmed I had indeed already paid through expedia.
She proceeded to ask me to make payment for breakfast, again, this was advertised as included as a \"free breakfast\". She then tried to tell us that only cereals are included, but miraculously after I resisted to pay due to it being advertised as included, she checked with a colleague and came back to say \"they're being pretty chill today so I'll put you down for 8am\".
Very odd behavior!
After that, she once again asked if I'd be happy to make payment for the room, to which I explained that I'd already paid. She said \"okay well I guess you aren't going anywhere\".

Fast forward to 11pm, tucked in bed and we heard our neighbours come back to their room, through the very thin walls, and heard someone weeing in the toilet! Mental!

We had an awful night sleep.

Breakfast on the whole was exceptional but maybe the scrambled eggs needed some work, aside from that no complaints and the speed of service was excellent. Awesome location with views outside the property and staff are very outstanding. Hotel is currently being updated which is being done without minimal disruption to the guests. Highly recommended. Just make sure non transport guests please be aware of the local bus service because they are very limited (this has nothing to do with the property).

Overall stay was ok. Food and service at the bar and breakfast very good and friendly. I appreciate that the owners are in the process of refurbishment. We had an occasional table with knick-knacks in our room that served no purpose whatsoever. Space would be put to better use with a chair or maybe a wardrobe as a rail with three hangers is of no use whatsoever. A rail is fine but more hangers are needed. Paintwork on walls chipped and masking tape needs to be used when going from wood work to plaster as this was very untidy and slap-dash when didn’t need to be.
I am a dog-lover and was great to be able to bring our dogs into the bar but my god there were dogs everywhere!! You need some space where non dog lovers can get away from them - maybe the dining room?

A super place to stay.

Our room was a little careworn. But enough of the negatives.
The main building and the location were super. The staff were fantastic. An absolute delight. They were worth the stay alone. We had a family dinner one evening which was very good. Our room was as mentioned before, a little \"tired\" but spotlessly clean and fine for our three night stay. Breakfast was super; just the thing to start the day, BUT, please get an expresso machine for when we stay again.

Nice hotel in lovely location

A nice hotel and in a lovely location. The breakfast was good and the service was friendly. Drinks were reasonably priced. The hotel was very dog friendly but the stairs were very steep (it's an old building) so I had to carry my dog up and and down the stairs (and he's not a small dog). This couldn't be helped by the hotel but I wouldn't stay there again if I had my dog with me.

A lovely stay

I stayed along with 3 friends for 4 nights and we all thought the hotel was beautiful from the outside and its setting right next to the river is fantastic. Parts of the hotel are a little tired and the unmodernised bedrooms need a facelift although theyre perfectly comfortable. Breakfast is good but the addition of fruit and yoghurts would give more variety for those who dont want the cooked option. All the staff are polite and friendly and I would recomment this hotel for a quiet, relaxing stay.

Return visit after 3 years.

Two night stay in a single room. My second visit to the hotel which had changed hands between. Room was clean and well stocked but needs some TLC, as does other areas. The floor in my room was very uneven and creaky and the corridor outside, equally so; to the point it almost feels unsafe. Breakfast was good. Staff were all friendly, helpful and hard working.

The property is being done up atm. So it's slowly looking better every month. A few cob webs about on the windows but remaining of the room was clean. Lovely location and lovely staff. As for the food its fantastic. We will return for hopefully a meal when we are on a boat next month.

The location worked really well, it is near to a boatyard where we were able to hire a day boat to explore the Broads. The food was excellent and the staff so friendly and helpful. A lovely relaxing stay, thank you.

Basic

Staff were friendly. Comfy bed, quiet, slept well. Room small, dated bathroom. The car park is at the rear and gives a poor first impression if the place with trash and broken lights and the exterior of building is in poor state. I understand they are slowly renovating but I would recommend tidying up what customers first see. Dinner was surprisingly good to be fair.

Good location and comfortable accommodation

Check in was easy. Staff were busy helping customers who had a booking problem and seemed to making sure they were able to make sure the customers
Were taken care of. They broke of to check me in, effortlessly. Room was small and comfortable for a single traveler.
Only slight niggle was the lights over the outside seating, which were directly outside the rooms window, did stay on all
Night.

Room was ok, tea and coffee facilities not great and bathroom was very tired. Toilet roll holder and shower fittings both very loose and fell off at one point. Brad was comfortable and breakfast was delicious

Although it was unbelievable hot night on the night we were here, the staff were really helpful and did everything they could to help. The room was a little tired, but was very clean. We didnt eat here at night, but did have a few drinks in the bar which was well stocked and well priced with a ovely outlook over the marina and boat moorings. The breakfast was excellent.

Lovely Hotel

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sutton Staithe Hotel. It looks over the Broads and you can see the changing of the boats from day to day which is really nice. The breakfasts were great and the staff were all friendly. They have a lovely bar and outside area. The only small thing I can say is that not all the rooms have been redecorated and ours looked a little tired, but the amenities for the room were good and did not affect our happiness with the room. Would definitely come here again.

Right on the water and a boat yard next to the hotel a children's play area an outside area next to the bar boat owners to talk to. A good breakfast. Food available Tuesday to Sunday lunchtime.

A work in progress.

Stayed four nights in room 14, steep stairs to reach it with luggage but nice views of the waterfront. King size bed was very comfortable and the shower very efficient.
The huge smart TV was a little large for the room! Could have done with a wardrobe or portable clothes rail, perhaps using some of the floorspace in the vast en suite bathroom.
Breakfast service was friendly and efficient. We had dinner on one evening, nice menu, friendly service but stretched on a busy evening.
Good selection of beers in the busy bar with plenty of outdoor seating.
Overall a very enjoyable stay and we wish the owners continued success as they strive to develop the business.

Alarming visit

Would have loved to have given a 5 star but it has to be 4 because the fire alarm went off at 5am and there was no one on site. It took half an hour for the manager to turn up and turn it off. And that was only because a neighbour knew who to call. They gave us a couple of free drinks the next evening but we had to ask. No apologies. The day staff didn't even know what had happened.

Enjoyable stay

My stay was very good the staff were exelent and the meals were of an high standard ,however there are areas that need improving some of the decor needs improving this is a 200 year old building so overall not to bad but there are repairs that need to be addressed.

The room rate was very cheap and there’s a reason for this. The building is very shabby and although the welcome pack explains that it’s an old building and they are doing their best to renovate it, it’s obvious that they are completely out of their depth. This was a feeling echoed by other guests I spoke to. Having said that the bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve slept in for sometime. Food was good, drinks offer extensive and staff friendly and I’m sure doing their best. Would I book again, sadly not.

Very happy repeat customer

3rd visit in two years, love this place. Lovely comfortable rooms with great mattresses and bathrooms. Brilliant food and a broad selection of local beers in a great location especially if you want to take an electric boat out on the broads for a few hours.

Shocking customer service

Booked the wrong date by mistake and realised straight away.Tried to contact property with no response, Hotels.com tried several times but to no avail.l was willing to change dates but to have no reply from this hotel I find quite bizarre.
This may be a really nice hotel but their customer service is definitely not up to what you would expect.
