Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Gable End Hotel is conveniently located within a 10-15 minute walk to the main shops and restaurants, as well as a short stroll from the pier, making it easy to explore Great Yarmouth. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms and comfy beds, with some rooms even offering a pleasant sea view, especially those at the top of the building. The hotel's location opposite the Venetian Waterways is another frequently mentioned highlight, though some guests have noted the dated decor. A fresh cooked breakfast is a common highlight, with convenient free parking available on the front apron.

mixed feelings about my stay

extra charges rude staff
I was really annoyed by the extra charges. they asked for £10 for towels upon arrival. i have never had to pay extra for towels. What a joke! the man just showed us to the room and left, i found it rude. also, filling in a form for breakfast downstairs reminded me of a chore, not a welcome, i expected better.

The hotel had a bar. It offered various drink options. i liked that a staff member quickly opened the bar upon request. there were some cushions near the staircase! the front door needs a fob, so you need to be buzzed through.

The hotel is wonderfully located opposite the venetian gardens. it's also just a few minutes walk from the middle of the area. the beach is just across the road. The sea view from my room was so lovely!

pleasant stay with nice location

comfy bed hot water perfect location
the room provided a super comfy bed , and i had instant access to hot water. my request for a fan was fulfilled promptly, which i appreciated. i also found the location perfect , being right opposite the venetian waterways.
i noticed that there were no handrails on the 2 sections of small stairs , , made it a bit difficult for me to navigate.
