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

Thank you for writing a lovely review. I am glad to hear that you had a good stay with me and my team. The council have lots of plan in to bring Thetford to the standards of Bury St Edmunds and Kings Lynn. Hopefully these will all go ahead but in the surrounding area we have lots of lovely places...

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

Over the past few months we have had some changes to our rate system and now to get the cheaper rates you have to look a few weeks in advance. The fuller we get the price moves up our table.... More

Bathroom equally tired and in need of renovation, with mildew above and between tiles, toilet roll holder hanging from wall and floor covering needing a good clean. Food however was good , staff were pleasant although attention to detail in dining... More

Stayed here for one night. Handy car parking and reception but disappointed that there was no provision for a breakfast for guests checking out before 07:30am. Seems a bit weak, given that most continental hotels now provide a self service breakfast for early risers. Main stair carpet and paintwork a bit shabby, but room - though small - was fine.... More

We have recently moved to the nearby area and only wanted to explore Thetford for one day and stay one night. The Bell is situated in the best, most central location and is absolutely perfect for any kind of visit. It's lucky to have a large car park, overlook the river, and be accessible to whatever you'd like to do... More

... the room did not, but the bathroom did. Our room was in the "newer" part of the building, facing the river and the car park, and directly above the kitchen and restaurant area (though on the second floor). It appeared that the ventilation system (what little of it there was) was attached somehow to the kitchen ventilation system, and... More

I've stayed at the Bell now lot's of times and I always know it's gonna be a nice stay. The staff in the Bell are consistantly friendly and attentative towards you. The rooms are always very big and spacious, although they are not to an excellent finish. The breakfast is really good too. great value for money.
