This is central (10 mins walk from the Castle) and had brand newly refurbished rooms (with massive bathrooms for some reason). But don't go here, unless you like living with windows firmly closed and breathing the dubious air-freshener atmosphere!

We chose this place as a base to stay at whilst exploring the Norwich area over the last bank holiday weekend. We were not too sure when booking if it would be much good but how wrong we were! This is an excellent inn with very good, modern and well appointed rooms. We were allocated room 3 with on-suite bathroom,... More

We arrived early but our room was ready and a lovely reserved parking space. We had a warm and friendly welcome and was shown to our requested room which was just like the photo on their website. Room and bathroom were very clean with lovely crisp white linen. You don't have to enter the pub as you have a side... More

We stayed here for just one night as we fancied a day's shopping in Norwich and wanted to chill out afterwards. Location wise this is perfect and we were able to arrive early in the day and park our car. They do let their car park spaces to members of the public so it was pretty full when we arrived,... More

We have just experienced the Trowel and Hammer Inn in Norwich and would like to highly recommend it. On arrival at lunch time a car parking space had been reserved. We were greeted by one of the Italian members of staff, introduced ourselves and shown to our room by Ben who was very helpful. Room 5 was fantastic! New decorated,... More

Just stayed for four nights. Lovely rooms only refurbished 3 months ago and nicely styled. Owners very helpful and friendly. Cracking location only five minutes from City Centre. Parking which was included and very handy and secure. We would really recommend this Trowel and Hammer as excellent place to stay to explore Norwich.

We stayed there last week we had room 5, very nice and spacious. The place was nice as only 3 months old. It was in a great location for the city centre and what a bonus to have parking included as well. Would really recommend it to any one looking for somewhere to stay in Norwich.

The room we booked was supposedly with a 'private external bathroom'. This was not the case - when we returned from an evening out in Norwich the bathroom was in use by another. In any case, the bathroom was not clean. To add insult to injury, what appeared to be another bathroom turned out to be a staff bedroom. The... More
