Just want we needed staff were fantastic and really went the extra mile to accommodate our early arrival and had the room ready for us. Room was nice and big and comfortable. It is a little dated but generally expected. Breakfast was good also. But staff really made the stay were super helpful and friendly.

Returned to home town for school reunion so knew the hotel was central and in a good location, staff on reception were very helpful and friendly but generally the hotel just seemed tired and in need of decoration, shower was warm despite a sign warning you to be careful of hot water and the bath was worn and stained and furniture had handles missing and was chipped. Appreciate it is an old building so furniture and decoration is in line with age of property

I meeded an overnight stop en-route to an event in the area.
The location, price and car parking options first attracted me.
On arrival I was greeted courteously and made very welcome. The staff were all very professional, but also sympathetic and obliging to a small additional request I had.
The room was comfortable and clean, and a good size. Bathroom and Bed both of good standard.
Ideally located for an all too brief look around the Town, the Hotel has its own charm, history and character.
I would definitely go back.

It was awesome! The food was great! We stayed in Room 29 (the haunted room) but no spirits were playing except for hiding the TV remote control which we found under the bed on the old fireplace step!!

OK place to stay - friendly and helpful service - steeped in 'Dads Army' memorabilia.
Probably in need of a lick of paint here and there.

Lovely friendly and helpful staff, amazing food.
Great building, though some of the property was tired and could do with a refurb, though it was all very clean.

The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Although I am a lone woman, I didn’t feel at all uncomfortable either staying at The Bell, or walking around Thetford in general.
I thoroughly recommend The Bell, and will be staying there again. I had previously stayed at the Travelodge in Thetford.
