Property Description
Best Western has a proud history of providing great service in fantastic hotels. And this fine accommodation has a proud history of giving warm welcomes and fond farewells...over three Centuries worth in fact! In the historic market town of Swaffham, Best Western George Hotel is an ideal base to explore the beautiful North Norfolk coast from, and puts guests right at the heart of Englands East. Sandringham is a delightful drive away, but if you want a right royal service back at the hotel, youre more than welcome to enjoy lunch or dinner in the superb Green Room restaurant... or if you prefer, take afternoon tea in the lounge. Saturdays are the highlight of the week for shoppers, with the hustle and bustle of a traditional local market directly opposite the 16th Century coaching inn-turned-hotel, giving you a true taste of English country life.

This being our 3rd time we have visited The George, on the first night the shower wasn't working properly so we moved to another room. Then there was no heating or water on the next night. Not being able to wash was awful. The staff were excellent and the food was very good. Management kindly compensated us for these inconveniences

Smoke alarms going off half the night
Kept up most the night with the smoke alarms going off every 10 minutes applied for a refund and was denied one . Which I find appalling

Rooms are Very Tired and extremly small
Rooms are very tired and small. Chair broken, Shower in poor condition, lighting broken, wallpaper peeling off, Wifi very slow. Not a pleasant experience. Staff were excellent when I spoke to them about the room, however unable to resolve. Would not stop here again as the price charged does not reflect the room.

Better than sleeping on a park bench
Firstly i certainly can't complain about the staff, they were fantastic.
The hotel itself was a bit of a dump.
There floors were uneven and every step you made was greated with creaking floor boards. The decor was old and tired with various ceacks in the walls, ceilings, doorframes etc.
Bathrooms were usable but ceratinly in need of modernisation.
Overall the hotel itself needs a full refurb but it beats sleeping in your car or on a park bench.

Bed bugs…enough said.
Unfortunately, the conditions of my stay were far from satisfactory, and I am requesting a full refund for the experience. The following issues were encountered during my visit:
1. **Excessive Noise from Water System**: Every time the water ran through the system, whether in the room or from neighbouring rooms, there was an unbearably loud noise, which disrupted my rest multiple times throughout the stay.
2. **Inadequate Curtains**: The curtains in the room were ineffective at blocking light. I had to keep the windows open for ventilation, which meant that I could not achieve complete darkness in the room. This caused discomfort and disrupted my sleep.
3. **Exposed Electrical Cables**: There were exposed electrical cables sticking out of the wall near the headboard of the bed. This was not only unsightly but also raised serious safety concerns.
4. **Bed Bugs**: Most concerning of all, I discovered bed bugs in the room. This issue is a serious health and hygiene concern and, in my opinion, completely unacceptable for any hotel, particularly one that claims to offer quality accommodations.

Excellent service. Very old building so there a few things that are as best as they can be but are not what you may expect. For example, the tub is higher than normal and would be problematic if you are older. Heat seemed to be missing except in the bathroom. Still, we would easily stay there again when we return.

We would stay again!
We had a fantastic huge room and bed with a large ensuite bathroom equipped with bath and double shower. The building is old so sloping floors etc expected, its like an aladdins cave, but we were happy with food, breakfast was a great portion and lots of choice. We had dinner too and a good price for what we had. All the staff were friendly and accommodating.
