The Wash & Tope

Great economy room,clean,warm, compact, great shower and very good lighting for reading. Have stayed here before,room 11 the best economy room to date. Only negative is £10 charge for a check in before 5.30

One person to book in guests, serve drinks and take good orders. You don't see anyone after pub hours if you don't have breakfast. Checked out at 11am told by cleaner to leave key on a table. Twin room only big enough for one person. Beds so narrow you had to do a 3 point turn to turn over. Dink the size of a water fountain, room over the kitchen extractor,so smelly. Glad I only paid £68 a night. Shabby and dingy. Wall paper in corridor pretty but obviously ran out half way! Could be a beautiful place, brilliant location.

Nice sea view room

Described on Trip Advisor as a ‘Newly refurbished Boutique Hotel’…..well. That was a lie! Arrived to check in to meet another guest complaining about his room. Told at check in that there is a coded door to get up to the rooms, but this door was just left unlocked- which didn’t feel safe at all, considering no staff stay there overnight! Hallways to rooms very dingy. Our room was number 8. Lock on room door was not very sturdy- gaps from doorframe and could wiggle the door! Room was ok, very dated, no storage. Loft hatch directly above the bed.. Bathroom was a bit grubby. We settled in for the evening. No signal on the tv. WiFi didn’t work where we were. The noise from the fans out the back were SO LOUD- even with the windows shut! Can’t bare to think how it is in the height of summer! Someone- either staff or living next door ( we couldn’t work it out) started blaring out Screamo music, to the volume we could hear every ‘word’ as clear as if it was in our room. And to add to that, they were constantly whistling along to it! This went on for hours, so as we’d done all we wanted to do in the day, we packed up and left late into the night. WILL NOT BE STAYING HERE AGAIN!

Please please do not be put off by the bad reviews as new owners took over 2 weeks ago and this is our second stay here. The new owners could not do enough for us as they work tirelessly to rectify a lot of ‘legacy’ issues. Yes there were some issues with our stay but all of them were rectified immediately with a very cheerful attitude and in fact we stayed an extra night! The hotel has a fabulous location, great rooms and great food in the pub and for the price you would be hard pushed to find anything else better in Hunstanton! We, and our friends will definitely be back 👍

Terrific view from the room but very dated needs some tlc and extremely cold and not cheap with no breakfast offered but did the job as we needed to be in Hunstanton for a family party bonus food very good in the pub at decent price will struggle to stop again

Myself and my sister stayed at the Wash & Tope as we were down in Norfolk attending a nearby theatre show for the night and the Wash & Tope had the best price for a room that particular night. I had stayed at the hotel a couple of times before with previous girlfriends and you very much get what you pay for. Me and my sister had the twin room which had no frills and could generally do with a makeover. Beds were comfortable but very narrow. The aerial lead was hanging down from the ceiling and going loosely round the door and across to the window. TV reception was very poor and intermittent, and Wi-Fi signal very poor in this room, but you could get it when you stood at the door into the room with the door open (!). There is a loud generator outside the window which is a bit of a pain. The other slightly annoying factor with this booking was finding out we were not able to check in before 5:30pm. When I messaged the owners through *********** I was told it’s “3pm in the summer season but 5:30pm in the winter season due to staffing on site”. I did point out it was 3rd June we were checking in but had no reply, so just turned up around 5ish on the day and was let in. I know I had stayed here a few years ago in June and was able to check in at 1/2pm so I’m not sure why it’s now so late. The other slightly odd thing is they insist on taking a card number on check-in “for security” (despite payment already being taken via ***********), but there is no elaboration on what this “security” actually is. Bit odd. I have been charged twice at this hotel before so was a bit wary about this. In a nutshell this hotel is very budget; the staff are friendly on arrival but there are no frills, no niceties and it does very much feel like a side business to the pub which feels to be the main business. The whole place could do with a revamp and bit more love and attention. It’s fine for a budget hotel room if you really don’t care about any luxuries, but if they put a bit more love into the rooms, then maybe they could also charge a bit more for people to stay and it’s win-win all round for owners and customers. I wouldn’t rule out ever staying here again, but I would always not expect anything particularly nice about my stay.

OK for one night but no more. Very hard bed and pillows leading to poor sleep and achy joints in the morning. Arrived 35 minutes early and asked if there was any possibility we could check in but there was a £10 charge fort early arrivals so we went for a walk instead before it got too dark. Seemed to be short staffed so left waiting when tried to check in later on. Small room, with little storage. Very loud macerator ran after every flush and whilst showering. The sliding bathroom door was with semi opaque *****e, so no privacy. Patchy wifi. Didn't have breakfast.
