What guests think

At The Kings Head Wroxham by Greene King Inns, travellers praise the friendly, welcoming staff, the central location for exploring Wroxham and the Broads, and enjoyable breakfasts and pub meals that many find good value, alongside a lively bar atmosphere.

Rooms draw mixed feedback, ranging from recently refurbished and comfortable (including family options) to small or dated spaces with hard pillows, temperature swings, noise, and maintenance faults such as poor shower drainage or heating not working. Service remains a strong point, though a few guests experienced slow dinner service or order errors. There are occasional cleanliness and upkeep lapses reported, including stained bedding, peeling paint, and limescale. Expect a welcoming pub stay in a prime location, with variable room standards and dining experiences.

The staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough to help. The food was nice and reasonably priced. The room had a little bit of wear and tear but was great for the price we paid. Parking was easy and fantastic location for what we needed. A great stay had by all.

The decor wasn't great - the room looked pretty 'tired', with a broken shower tray and very leaky shower head. In addition, the sash windows didn't really fit properly in the frames, so I imagine it would have been pretty draughty in winter. The bed was comfortable though, so we had a good night's sleep. Apparently it's due for a full refurb in January 2024, so I'd expect it to be better after then

Excellent overnight stay. Leah and her staff were very nice. Food good, especially the full “Big Breakfast” served on nice warm plates! Something that you don’t get everywhere these days. Hotel must have been recently renovated and our room was very good with an unusual three steps down into the bathroom (something to remember to tell staff if you are not quite as mobile as us) which was spotless and the shower was brilliant. We will be back sometime! Thanks.

Firstly, staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the room we had (no. 8) was very clean. However, it really needs a bit of maintenance. The TV has a blue line down the middle, the shower doesn't drain, and the heating didn't come on at all over our stay (although there was a free standing heater provided which did work). The kettle also needed the button held down manually in order to boil. We didn't try the breakfast so can't comment on the food. The area is perfect if you're looking for somewhere central to Wroxham, right by the broads, and yet peaceful at night.

The room was clean. Paint peeling in the bathroom and shower head very lime scaled. Pillows were very very very hard and the bed was like sleeping on a pavement so overall very uncomfortable. We left a day early. Staff were friendly although reception was also restaurant booking area so while we were being checked in there were people queuing for tables getting very grumpy at the delays.

Duvet was so badly stained could be seen through duvet cover....complained straightaway and manager had to go out and buy a brand new one to replace it. 8 pillows but only one usable others all badly stained...manager again had to return with a clean pillow....no duvet or pillow protectors used! One window didn't have a lock....no plug near mirror....wallpaper peeling away from ceiling...sink had hairline crack....shower mat you had to ask at reception for? On the plus side room was large and breakfast great. Hotel needs updating!

I do not often write reviews as I’m not a key board warrior. I thought value for money, the room was very basic. No bedside tables a view from the window staring at roof tiles. Yes I get the location and why the room rate was close to £100 per night. But at 4.55am this morning when the bottle bank was emptied waking me up I thought was a little in considerate. Hence me review. The staff on arrival were excellent the room was very tiny and considering just the night before 11 miles away I’d paid £79 for a suite room was very unimpressed with the room. It was small, very cold and the bathroom whilst very clean was very cold. The window blind only went down 3-4 of the way the window so as well as the bottle bank being emptied at 4.55am the room was filled with light. I’m sure the rest of the hotel is fine, but room 7 should not be sold at the rate it was. In my experience of travel and room rates £55-£65 per night is the maximum this chain should be charging for this room.

A lovely stay for a couple of nights while visiting the area on holiday with my family (booked a family room for 4). It has been recently refurbished nicely and the staff were really helpful and friendly. Would recommend to others looking to stay in the area.

We stayed here one night, on the bank holiday Sunday. The receptionist was very friendly indeed and made us feel very welcome. The same man served us breakfast in the morning, and couldn't have been more helpful so our thanks to him. The accommodation itself is dated and needs bringing up to modern standards really. The double bed in the room felt small and was no so comfortable. In the evening we thought about eating downstairs, but we hadn't booked and only small table available was located where we could smell the toilets so we ate elsewhere! In summary, we were happy with the accommodation for what we paid and glad we took the breakfast option as we had a nice vegetarian full English, with juice, tea and a good quality caffé latte.
