The William Iv

“Thoroughly enjoyed the stay.”

The car park can be tight on space if the pub is busy. On arrival was made to feel welcome by very friendly staff.

The car park can be tight on space if the pub is busy. On arrival was made to feel welcome by very friendly staff. Was shown the side guest entrance, this is a bonus, as you don’t need to enter and leave via the bar. The room was clean, with just a little dust around skirting boards. The room included wardrobe, containing an iron and ironing board. Full tea and coffee making facilities. It included a coffee pod machine but disappointingly few pods. Biscuits and bottles of water were included on arrival. The view from room 4 is rather unique. The bed was rather hard but comfortable enough. The two evening meals we had, could have been better. The lasagna was overcooked and the chicken in the curry had not been dressed. (Gristly bits removed) and needed chopping smaller. Minor faults to otherwise nice meals. The breakfast was spectacular in abundance. Juice, cereal, fresh fruit, cereal bars plus unlimited tea and fresh brewed coffe to accompany the cooked breakfast which had numerous choices. The position of the William Iv is within walking distance of the city centre but as others have said is uphill when returning. As we used the car this did not bother us. Would highly recommend. For value for money and lovely friendly staff. Would definitely use again.

“Lovely stay ”

Stayed for the football match . Friendly staff , excellent breakfast & nice clean room with all facilities. Also had an evening meal which was very good . Would highly recommend if staying in Norwich .

“Okay, but not very uplifting”

Not brilliant to be honest, though far from the worst too. No complaints at all about the lady behind the bar who welcomed us - she was fine and did her job perfectly. But the premises seemed old and past their best. The room was a bit depressing and half below ground level, though it was clean eno… lisää

Not brilliant to be honest, though far from the worst too. No complaints at all about the lady behind the bar who welcomed us - she was fine and did her job perfectly. But the premises seemed old and past their best. The room was a bit depressing and half below ground level, though it was clean enough and the bed was ok. The pub itself smelt of smoke, which was odd since smoking is no longer allowed in pubs, and it was a bit of a dowdy, charmless place. Subjective I know - but it felt like a hang out for regulars rather than somewhere for a visitor to enjoy. On the plus side, it’s close to the city (though at the top of a hill) and there is a spacious car park. All in all the William IV is okay for a night, but I wouldn’t want to stay longer. Sorry.

“Tasty breakfast!”

Difficult to choose a score for this one (the reason why I was deliberating between a 3 and 4) as there were good points and bad. The hotel is about a 10/15 minute walk (mainly uphill so not good for anybody not particularly mobile) and is located in a nice, quiet, residential area. The hotel is a … lisää

Difficult to choose a score for this one (the reason why I was deliberating between a 3 and 4) as there were good points and bad. The hotel is about a 10/15 minute walk (mainly uphill so not good for anybody not particularly mobile) and is located in a nice, quiet, residential area. The hotel is a little dated and in need of a refurb. My room reminded me of student accommodation and the bar area was akin to a social club. My room was clean although the coffee machine didn’t work. Breakfast was the high point and freshly cooked and tasty. I had a meal in the bar the evening of my arrival which was also nice. Overall, a very reasonably priced (£57 with breakfast) with friendly staff but a little tired in places.
