We came over from Australia for a family Xmas and to visit some great friends in Thetford, I prebooked before we left and the service I received from Charles was first class. Upon arrival simple instructions where emailed to me and the check in process was simplified, we had 2 x superior rooms and 1 deluxe room and we where very pleasantly surprised they were everything we could’ve asked for , plenty of space and so modern inside. First class amenities in the room also made it a great stay and perfect place to relax. If we come back I would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to anyone.
Thetford Hive is a quaint hotel in the heart of Thetford. The accomodations were cozy and modern and made you feel at home. The staff here too were very responsive and made the stay wonderful. I'd happily book at Thetford Hive again!
I often stay in Thetford for work and have suffered various low quality accommodations before finding this absolute gem! I was very happy with my stay and thoroughly recommend Thetford Hive. Loads of car parking space, very comfortable apartments, nice furnishings, fast wifi, spotlessly clean, great shower, and well equipped kitchenette. There’s an easy self check-in process and if you need to contact someone, you can do so easily and are met with a friendly and efficient response. I will definitely be staying here again.
Great place! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped, allowing us to make breakfasts and hot drinks. The hotel is well located and wonderfully quiet.
My mum and I stayed here for one night after a spa day at the local Center Parcs! Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again. Lots of free parking, very easy self check in (and check out), our room (no9) was very spacious and beautifully decorated with great furniture. Everything was new and fresh and the bed was so comfortable. First night away from my toddler and baby for a chance to relax and catch up on some much needed sleep, and I’m so glad I chose this place. Will hopefully be back one day soon!
A perfect stay. Very Clean, stylish and well equipped. Central Thetford. Extremely comfortable bed with big TV for snuggling down with Netflix. I got a take away but there is a fully functional kitchen area, dining table and chairs for two. Very quiet, ample parking. Revitalising shower to start the day. Seems newly refurbished in grand hotel style. Cannot fault it
