Palm Court Hotel is our Budget pick for Great Yarmouth. It is a 3-star hotel on North Drive with a guest score of 8.0 out of 10 from 851 reviews.
It suits couples and families who want to be by the sea without paying 4-star prices. The property lists beachfront access, a pool, family rooms, a garden and a terrace, and guests praise the staff.
Skip it if you want the best-rated room in town or plan to have most meals in the hotel. Guests find food and drink prices high, and our two other picks score better.
Location and getting around
The address is North Drive. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10, which is well above the overall score. Reviewers describe a seafront position near the beach, the town centre and local attractions.
The sights in our data are not close. Burgh Castle is about 6.5 km away (around 81 minutes on foot), and the Roman fort listed as Gariannonum, also recorded as Burgh Castle (Roman fortification), is about 6.7 km (around 84 minutes). These are straight-line estimates. You will need a car, public transport or a taxi to get there.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you are driving to the coast.
What guests say
Staff are the main highlight. Guests describe a friendly, helpful and welcoming team with professional service. The seafront location is the other strong point.
The common complaint is the cost of food and drink at the hotel; room rates feel reasonable to most, but the bar and restaurant prices do not. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other Great Yarmouth picks
The reference price was €92.50 per night. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults, not live quotes. That was 29% below the sample median of €131.15.
The listing names free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a swimming pool, beachfront access, free parking, family rooms, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast is listed as full English or Irish, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet. Whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed. Air conditioning is not listed.
Our Best Value pick, Imperial Hotel, is a 4-star with an 8.5 score at €131.15 per night. The Luxury pick, Prom Hotel, is a 4-star with 8.6 at €134.06. Palm Court saves you about €39 to €42 a night, at the cost of a lower score and one fewer star.
Why it made our top 3
To be transparent: only 3 eligible properties were in our Great Yarmouth sample, so all three made the list. Palm Court came third of three on review score.
It still earns the Budget slot on its own terms. It had the lowest eligible reference price, an 8.0 from 851 reviews is a reliable result, and its location score of 9.2 is the strongest point in its favour.
Before you book
Check today's price for your dates, since the November 2026 figure is only a reference. Confirm whether breakfast is included, as eating in the hotel can add up.
Check the pool's opening times out of season and how parking works. If you want a sea-facing room, ask when booking, because we cannot confirm which rooms face the sea.
