BEST HOTEL IN GREAT YARMOUTH

This is one of the best smaller hotels me and my husband have ever stayed in. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The hotel was spotless, lovely and warm and the inclusive breakfast was fantastic. Cannot recommend this as a place to stay enough. When returning to Great Yarmouth I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Fantastic, 5 stars all round.

Very happy with our experience

My partner and i could not fault the hotel and its staff from the very 1st moment we arrived they came out and got our luggage from the car and took it up to our room. The rpom very clean and luxurious. The only issue i had was the parking was quite a distance from the hotel but not a complaintvas understand the hotel is right on the seafront.

Hotel Ocean is a comfortable beachfront boutique hotel (9 rooms on 3 floors– No lift) by the sea which offers ocean views and easy access to local attractions. The staff at Hotel Ocean were attentive and friendly making us feel comfortable throughout our stay. Our room (room 2 – 1st floor) was nicely decorated with a comfortable bed, mini fridge, free Wi-Fi, daily bottles of mineral water, and a flat-screen. Extras like a kettle with tea, coffee, biscuits, and Green & Vegan Anyah Eco Spa Treatment shampoo & body wash in the private shower room made our stay even more pleasant. A second armchair would have been nice for added comfort, but with the existing armchair and desk chair, it worked well enough. Our stay included breakfast at their onsite Box Tree Bistro which offered a great variety of breakfast options, we particularly enjoyed their full English, Egg benedictine / Egg royale breakfasts and their breakfast fruit salad – Portions were generous. The Box Tree Bistro also offered lunches, and evening meals, with options for indoor or outdoor dining. We mostly dined onsite as they had a delicious and reasonably priced menu. Parking was hassle-free, with free street parking available beside or behind the hotel in Resident Parking Zone A. Simply giving our registration number upon check-in, the hotel arranged a visitor permit. We never had trouble finding a spot, allowing us to explore Great Yarmouth without worrying about parking fees.
