Very good location. Just a short walk from the seafront with gardens and seating areas outside the property and across the road. Lift access to the upper floors Separate lounge areas decorated with memorabilia from Army, Navy and RAF.. (RAF room has a very good library). Hotel supports both serving military members and veterans, and has a regular program of events, talks etc. Very good atmosphere. Friendly staff and good choice from breakfast menu. Vegetarian options available. Happy to recommend this guest house/ hotel. Local shops and takeaways 2 minutes away (turn left, then left again). Town centre shops about 15-20minute walk.

Nothing. If you need anything during your stay, just ask.

Lovely property, looks amazing from the outside. Feels homely when you walk inside, very clean and tidy. Absolutely love the character of the building. Room was very clean and tidy, modern with everything needed even a little mini fridge great for cold water. Could do with a fan in the bedroom, was a very warm weekend we stayed and sun shines in the bedroom all day. Talking about that we had stunning panoramic views from the bedroom, stunning views at 6am. Breakfast was very good. Honesty bar perfect, we enjoyed playing pool in the evening having a little drink and played a bit of light music. It was like we were the only people there. We don’t have a military connection as such but fully appreciated the lengths gone to by this family to honour all things military and all the things they do for their charity to support veterans and serving military. We can’t wait to come and stay here again, will be a firm favourite for us until we finally get the move to Lowestoft that we are wanting.

It was a perfect place for me for three days in Lowestoft. A lovely welcome and brief tour of the hotel when I arrived. The breakfast was excellent and cooked fresh by Andy each morning & served by a friendly team. As I was busy I didnt spend much time in the hotel as I would have liked to have a better look round the rooms set out as museums as they looked fabulous even though I have no military background. I'd highly recommend the hotel and would certainly stay there again if I could get in!

Very warm welcome from the staff. The hotel usually hosts ex forces personnel, but lets out room to everyone when bookings are low. There was plenty of services memorabilia on show in the hotel, which I found interesting. I paid a little extra for a room with a view and it was worth it, with a panoramic view of the seafront. There was also a nice selection of tea/coffee etc in my room. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space in my room and the Wifi was good. 15 minute walk to the Railway station and High Street. Breakfast was plentiful and served with a smile.

I can't really fault anything.

Wow.. unbelievable price for a night we will never forget.. It’s like a military waxworks with a pulse : Owners are so friendly and welcoming and devoted to Veterans and running a charity for them.. My father is 84 and can barely walk, they offered a mobility scooter, has a lift and wheelchair lifts everywhere but we loved trying on all the military costumes in the snooker room. If you love war memorabilia, need disability access everywhere or just popping in to look at the museum grade artefacts - then you’ll be happy (We gave a donation for letting us try uniforms on). Thank you for a wonderful time..

Excellent location. Lord Kitcheners guest houst is quite an amazing surprise, it has military memorabilia in all downstairs rooms, great to look at and read about, they do functions etc for war veterans, lots of fund raising etc., exceptional. Really welcoming and friendly, breakfast is very nice with a good selection. We would definitely recommend this guest house for your stay in lovely Lowestoft. Perfect location on the sea front.

Thought about this a lot and can honestly say there was nothing we didn't like at the Lord Kitchener. They were very willing to help people out.

Lovely light room and large shower room. Comfortable beds which although at first seemed soft were in fact supportive. Location opposite green and beach with good cafe The Thatch almost opposite. Breakfast choice good but limited to avoid waste ie no fruit or croissants but traditional breakfast freshly cooked to order.

Information on parking on site is incorrect. There is no on site parking. Street parking in busy periods may be taken by day visitors and only become available late afternoon. Car park nearby with 1/2 hr free then £2.50? for 2 hours and only £4 for day, free overnight.

Was fantastic from start to finish . The downstairs is like a military museum, we spent well over 1 hour just looking at all the flags ,plaques and other military stuff . The honesty bar was very well stocked and reasonable priced . Room was absolutely spotless, bed was comfy. The view was the perfect sea view. I cannot fault this place in anyway.The cooked breakfast was fantastic as well which was cooked for us specially as we were the only guests in that night I 100% recommend this place .

Nothing was perfect

It is an amazing guest house so much history so glad that they open it up to the general public during the winter months I am so glad we managed to get a stay here, the staff are wonderful, friendly and it is just an amazing place, great shops just behind and sat and watched the aurora lights and listened to the sea short walk into town with a good selection of shops what more can you want to location. This was a great get away from our busy jobs and time to relax and we certainly did that

nothing we didnt like

Stumbled across this hotel, just amazing history and the good it does for the community it still serves.

Only thing I didn’t like was booking a double room for it to be given a room with single beds fixed together, a double sheet and single quilts , one mattress was terrible, windows don’t open and had to put some of curtains back on track to close, only little things apart from that the welcome and volunteers who run the hotel were lovely.
