Dated, but I will be back…..
So, not the most modern hotel in the world and quite frankly, it is overdue a refurb but that should not put you off staying. The Team are extremely welcoming, the rooms are clean and daily housekeeping cannot be faulted. Breakfast choice is good and I enjoyed what was put in front of me. I have stayed elsewhere in Lowestoft and paid more for the privilege however I will return to the Hatfield because of the friendly Team and the seafront location.

Night out with the Boys
Arrived at 2:30 pm and couldn’t check in due to no rooms available (a bit disappointed as I needed to get changed before meeting the boys at 3:00 pm.
Managed to get a car parking spot which was good, as limited parking.
Hotel clean same as my room which was quite basic but had a good shower.

We love Lowestoft. 😊
We stayed in a sea view room which had a lovely view of the sea, unfortunately because the temperature reached 28%c the room was very warm even with the windows open, so it really spoiled our stay here. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked good.

Hotel generally down at heel. Staff super stressed and too few. Check in experience not great; agreeing one hour extra to check out seemed to stress out receptionist (who was also serving at the bar). Lift out of service during big wedding reception; food pretty bad. Altogether needs some focused attention/

Reception area needs a make over
Used to stay at the Hatfied on a regular basis but this is the first visit for about 20 years. The entrance/reception area has not changed at all and on first appearances seems really neglected and off putting. But once in the hotel other areas are better; bar/ outside terrace, rooms were fine & clean.

Disappointment
Room shabby and cramped and airless, creaking floorboards including corridor so bed shook whenever someone passed by. Disappointing.
But breakfast excellent and I commend the lady who managed the breakfast restaurant, very friendly and efficient.

Quiet seafront hotel.
Lovely clean room, comfortable bed. Seafront location, with parking just opposite. If you have mobility issues, worth mentioning, as several steps up and down in the corridor, leading to the bedrooms .
