Prom Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Prom Hotel is worth booking if you want a 4-star seafront base in Great Yarmouth with a well-liked breakfast buffet, for barely more than the town's median price. Skip it if you are driving and need guaranteed parking, as there is no on-site car park.

Seaside travellers who arrive by train or coach, or who do not mind parking on the street, will get the most from it. Guests praise the seafront position with views and easy access to both the beach and the town.
Families have options too, with family rooms listed. The property also lists a gym, a restaurant, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.
Drivers should think twice. Guests point out that there is no on-site parking, only public spaces on the street or nearby. If you want a cheaper room and can live without 4 stars, our Budget pick saves about €40 a night.
Location and getting around
The address is 77 Marine Parade, and the location score is 9.3 out of 10. Reviewers describe it as right on the seafront, close to the beach and the town.
The sights in our data are all some distance away. Burgh Castle is about 6.2 km off, roughly 78 minutes on foot, and the Roman fort of Gariannonum is about 6.5 km, around 81 minutes. Those are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi. Walking times are straight-line estimates.
One note on the beach: our provider data does not confirm a beachfront location or a measured distance. The guest comments about seafront views are the best guide we have.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 427 reviews.
The location is the clear favourite, with sea views and quick access to the beach and the town. Breakfast comes a close second. It is a buffet with a wide choice of hot and cold items, and the listed styles include continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.
The main complaint is parking. There is no on-site facility, so guests have to find public spaces in the street or nearby.
Price and how it compares with our other Great Yarmouth picks
Our reference price was €134.06 per night, around €268 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates, since seaside rates rise in summer.
That is just above the sample median of €131.15 per night.
Our Best Value pick, Imperial Hotel, also has 4 stars and scores 8.5 at €131.15 per night, only about €3 less. Our Budget pick, Palm Court Hotel, has 3 stars and an 8.0 at €92.50 per night. For a few euros more than the Imperial, Prom Hotel gives you the highest score of the three.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 3 eligible properties in Great Yarmouth, and Prom Hotel shares the top review score. Our Luxury slot looks first for 5-star hotels, and a 4-star hotel only qualifies with a score of 8.5 or more. At 4 official stars and 8.6, it qualifies.
The 9.3 location score and strong breakfast feedback made the case.
Before you book
Parking is the first thing to sort out if you drive. Ask the hotel about the nearest public spaces and their cost.
Room size, noise, renovation condition, whether breakfast is included in your rate and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Gym hours and any fees are not confirmed either.
