Holiday Inn Norwich City by IHG

Holiday Inn Norwich City by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Me and my family stayed here twice over the past three weeks and we really enjoyed our stays. In the height of summer the air-con was such a blessing, as the other hotels we have stayed in did not have ac, which made sleep incredibly difficult. The staff (in general) were pleasant and accommodating. We stayed in a stadium facing room, which the kids loved but the rooms are a bit tired and could do with a refurb. One of our bathrooms had water damage on the ceiling, which was concerning and issues with the toilet but the property manager was great and fixed the water issue for us promptly. The staff covering the bar in the evenings were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The rooms are also pretty sound-proofed. Things to improve: Free or discounted parking would be appreciated, especially for longer stays and a mini fridge and a safe in the room would be great."
