Accommodation Restriction

While The Norton Hotel strives to offer a welcoming and comfortable environment for all guests, we regret that we are unable to accommodate certain individuals due to the nature of our services. As our hotel does not operate a 24-hour reception and we do not have the facilities to provide the level of support some guests may require, we are unable to accommodate:

• Homeless individuals who may need additional support.

• Guests with severe mobility challenges, or those who may require constant assistance during their stay.

• Non-vulnerable elderly guests who may require supervision or specific care services.

• Asylum Seekers: Due to the nature of our services and the lack of 24-hour reception, we are unable to provide the necessary support and care required for asylum seekers during their stay.

• Individuals from Conflict Zones: We are also unable to accommodate guests who have recently arrived from areas of war or conflict. The lack of our 24-hour reception services and our inability to provide ongoing support and security makes it difficult to meet the specific needs of individuals in such situations.

We understand the importance of providing a safe and comfortable stay for all, but due to our limited operational hours and services, we are unable to provide the necessary care and assistance that these individuals may require. We recommend that individuals who need continuous support or specialized care seek accommodation with facilities that can meet their specific needs. We appreciate your understanding.
