"excellent location for the seaside, friendly, helpful staff and good value for money"
we are a young couple who brought our 10 year old daughter to great yarmouth for fun at the pleasure park and seaside. the hotel location was ideal, rooms were adequate and my daughter loved the fact she had a little room to her own. breakfast in the morning was great and the waitress offered my picky daughter an alternative breakfast when she couldn't manage a fry up, which was good. bar area with large tv felt very homely. i would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting great yarmouth Read less
Likes:
location was ideal, breakfast was great and the hotel was very clean. iron and iron board is available. staff were friendly and we felt very welcome.
Dislikes:
the only thing i can really think of was lack of parking however their is plenty of parking nearby on the side roads.
Response from The Southern:
We are pleased that these guests enjoyed their stay with us and thank them for their comments. We ahve on street parking opposite the hotel which is more than adequate except for Bank Holidays and July and August when we have more day trippers. However is parking is a problem and we know then we have a secure car park remotely to the rear which we can give guests the lock number to gain access.

"Would want to stay at the Southern everytime I come to Yarmouth"
We have been to Yarmouth a number of times but have always stayed at different hotels. When we come back The Southern would be our first choice and would not have to spend time searching for somewhere nice to stay. Loved it. Read less
Likes:
Location good,Room wondeful and breakfast excellent.Everywhere was lovely and clean and the staff were really friendly. After one morning of breakfast they remembered our preferences.
Dislikes:
Nothing - Excellent hotel
Response from The Southern:
We would like to thank Michael for his review, it was a pleasure to look after them during their visit. Reviews like this make all the hard work worthwhile. We are not the cheapest accommodation and certainly not the dearest. As we have high standards of cleanliness and serve high quality food which we find our returning guests appreciate we have to price accordingly

Response from The Southern:
We are really sorry that Daniel was disappointed by our breakfast, as we offer starters of at least 3 types of fruit juice, creamy yoghurt, grapefruit segments or prunes, fromage frais, and boxed cereals or a selection of meats and cheeses, croissants and brioche for continental.Our large Norfolk breakfast consists of locally sourced and freshly cooked bacon, sausage, black pudding,beans mushrooms and tomatoes and fried or scrambled eggs and is always well received. Served by our waitress

Likes:
It's run very efficiently, was clean and tidy and had a friendly atmosphere about it
Dislikes:
Our only observation is it's not very disabled friendly
Response from The Southern:
We thank Gary for his review and positive comments.
We have three ground floor rooms for less mobile guests however the building is over 200 years old and does not lend itself to being disabled friendly and we certainly state this clewarly in our access statement so that guests do not arrive and be disappointed

Likes:
the brekfast was delicious and the service was great. Really friendly staff
Dislikes:
Our bathroom door didn't quite close properly and the shower was a bit rubbish- I wanted to wash my hair but the water pressure was so low that I didn't bother trying.
Response from The Southern:
When I started to read the review I was really pleased that Bryony enjoyed her stay, however the negatives were really disappointing as this room is just under the tanks in the roof space the pressure is excellent and if the problem had been pointed out, we would have fixed it straight away so as not to spoil the stay.
