Good location with only a short walk to the town and sea front. Very friendly hosts and lovely breakfast.
The room we were in was a little small & bathroom door was a little tricky to shut but not uncomfortable & very clean.
It was Clean, tidy and modern. The staff were friendly and I had a gluten free breakfast.
Nothing
Lovely place. Proprietors were lovely too. If I walk a long way it affects my legs, so the lift was very, very useful. Could see beach and sea from our room window. Breakfast was amazing. Set me and my son up for the day ahead. Would definitely return if the opportunity arises.
Nothing. All good.
Wonderful guest house hotel. Mandy and Martin were incredibly welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Great location close to the beach.
Nothing
The property was in an ideal location near the sea front. The owners were very friendly and helpfull, providing a very good breakfast and bar. The room was clean and comfortable although the bathroom was rather small and cramped. We would stay there again.
The bathroom basin was tiny.

Owners excellent Breakfast car park

Friendly hosts and clean
Tiny sink in bathrooms
Arona Guest Hotel just 50 yard from the beach was absolutely fantastic, and the service was excellent. After being disappointed with another booking at Hotel Victoria, we were very happy here. The family room was brilliant, and the breakfast had plenty of choice – everything was excellent. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend that anyone planning a holiday in Great Yarmouth should book Arona Guest House and enjoy their wonderful hospitality.
Non , I do like Arona hotel everything .
It was very modern looking and well looked after, having a bar with a pool table made it easier to entertain a child while it rained. Nothing was too much for the staff and it was completely child friendly. Breakfast was amazing too.
There was nothing to not like..

A clean, comfortable room in a very nice property. Ideally located. We had a very pleasant three night stay. Off road parking. Very good breakfasts. Pleasant attentive owner. We would book again.
It was all good.
Clean spacious room. Sea view. Perfect location. Host very friendly
The basin was rather small but not a problem
Amazing service from the minute we arrived. The owners were lovely and friendly. We spoke at length, and they showed an interest. The facilities were fantastic, had a game of pool and a drink at the bar on arrival. The room was just what we needed, was clean and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was spot on, served quickly, and was just the right amount. Parking was a bonus, and considering there was an event on Yarmouth seafront, there was no trouble finding a space.
No complaints from us.
5 minutes walking distance to the beach., 10 minutes walking distance to the city centre, free parking , breakfast
I liked everything
Management could not do enough for us,so helpful and what a breakfast. Yes will stop again when up in area
So clean, lovely breakfast, pleasant owners
Garden run down
I don't think I have ever left a 10/10 for a hotel before but I would put an 11 for the Arona Guest Hotel if it was possible. Martin and Mandy are extremely hardworking, friendly and attentive hosts who could not do anymore for us. The Hotel itself is spotless, rooms spacious with everything you need and the hosts made sure of this throughout the week stay. A delicious freshly cooked full English breakfast (good quality produce) every morning, made sure of a great start to each of days in Great Yarmouth. With so many of the local hotels sadly selling out to become migrant hostels who no longer serve breakfast or offer relaxing refreshments in their bars after your busy day out, this hotel is a real gem on how a Hotel/Bed and Breakfast should be run, and a must if you want a carefree break with no hassle or unpleasant surprises. We hope to stay with them again soon. Thank you Martin and Mandy.
Nothing not to like!
We were greeted on arrival and shown to our room while being informed of the relevant information for our stay, the owners made us feel very welcome during our time at their guest house. Everywhere was exceptionally clean and the breakfast just topped it off. One hundred percent would come back.
Lovely sized rooms, loved the windows, lots of light, the owners went above and beyond for us even down to supplying me with plasters for my blisters, the breakfast was also very nice!
Lovely guest house with parking, the hosts were so friendly. There’s an onsite bar, and a short walk to the pier. Wheelchair accessible as well Would definitely recommend
Location was great. Excellent host
Nothing
everything lovely Cople. Rooms was spotless hotel spotless. Lovely hot cooked breakfast. Made you feel very welcome
Fantastic hosts. Very kind and welcoming. Especially as they let us stay an extra night at short notice. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Nothing needs to be changed.
The owners were really friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the promenade, so very convenient. We were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed our stay.
Great location, right near the beach, town centre and main tourist areas Comfortable room, good facilities inc. bar and games room Friendly & welcoming
We were welcomed by really friendly staff, plenty of parking, location was perfect as only a few yards from the beach. The room was large with high ceilings, very clean, the beds were really comfortable, we had a great view from our room. Breakfast was included but unfortunately we didn't get up in time to take advantage of it as were out late both nights, I'm sure it's great given the care & attention the owners have put into this hotel. We will definitely be returning ini the future + recommending this hotel to our friends & family !

Great location, great friendly staff. Freshly cooked breakfast and cleanliness.
Location was very good, staff friendly rooms were spotless and fabulous breakfast.
Mandy and Martin are amazing hosts. They are very personable, spent time talking to us in the bar ( which was very reasonable). Martin even gave my smallest boy tips on how to play pool 😆. I checked the reviews before we can and was looking forward to the breakfast, which didn’t disappoint. The full English was amazing and I loved the fresh coffee. It can be daunting going to a hotels as a big family, but we were very welcomed! The pictures of the family room doesn’t do it justice!
Very nice place to stay, only a short walk into Great yarmouth, plenty of parking, lovley breakfast, room, and people, we hope to visit again in the future, highly recommend.
Excellent hosts
Well located, helpful staff, clean and nice breakfast. Just the shower cubicle a bit tight but good water pressure.

Stayed in a few of the hotels in Great Yarmouth close to this one and never usually bother to write reviews, but this is one of the best we've stayed in. Firstly, the hosts are Fantastic, very friendly and welcoming, the hotel is kept very clean, it is in a great location, lovely breakfast, parking is available, Room facilities include t.v, safe,kettle with a good variety of drinks, and a private bathroom with toiletries. Will definitely be returning.
