Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Pier Hotel's stunning location, offering sea views and a fantastic view of ships entering Great Yarmouth harbour. Many enjoyed spacious and immaculate rooms, some overlooking the golden beach, while others noted the delicious and generous breakfasts, including options like omelettes and smoked haddock alongside a buffet. The food, especially the fish and chips with excellent batter, is frequently mentioned; however, some guests have occasionally found the TV reception on regular channels to be poor. Dining in the cosy Snug area is a highlight for some, and the hotel's proximity to the Pavillion Theatre adds to the appeal.

a decent stay

beach location friendly staff easy access inaccessible lift hot room useless fan
the hotel is located right on the beach. this made walks along the promenade very easy. the staff were friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile.
our room was on the third floor, but the lift didn't reach that level. this was difficult due to my health issues. the room was also hot. there was only one small, useless fan to provide relief.

mixed feelings about this stay

garlic smell cramped bedroom
the lift reeked , a strong scent of garlic filling the confined space. my bedroom felt quite cramped , it lacked that essential elbow room. i noticed the bathroom wasn't particularly clean , and it had an unpleasant odor , especially near the basin overflow.
