Think the photos on their web site certainly flatter this dated shabby (not chic) hotel! The receptionist was pleasant enough and check in quick and easy. We were allocated room 15 but my husband immediatley called reception to change to a better room! Room 15 was far from clean and smelt of smoke the bath room was grimey and the... More

Arrived at the hotel, reception gave us keys for Room 28, had to ask directions. From our window we were expecting a nice view but were greeted by a grave yard. Room clean, bathroom toilet needed some bleach. First night dinner cold, returned it, second night dinner warm and bland. First night had a good sleep; second night had no... More

A lovely old inn in a great position and your staff are outstanding. But room 18 has a bathroom which needs a good clean. Mould around the bath and tiles. Sink not cleaned under the basin and a strange brown liquid which dripped when the toilet handle was flushed. The toilet and fittings were not well positioned and sitting down... More

My friend and I decided to meet up for breakfast this morning at the Bell Hotel Thetford. Absolutely georgous and such good value, Fresh fruit and cereal, then plenty of hot choices to order. Service was also brilliant, well done !!!!!!!!

My wife and I stayed in the Bell Hotel in April for one night. The hotel is on one of the rivers running through the town so should have been a pleasant spot. We had a very large double room with a comfortable bed and an en-suite bathroom which was very generous. Clean pleasant and quiet. Breakfast was from 0730... More

We are an out of town couple who have stayed at the bell 3 times. We have been quite happy with our stays. The rooms and bathrooms are a little tired and need refurbishing but it doesn't affect our visit. There is a great choice at breakfast. The only negatives I have are the bar needs to be attended all... More
