Footage of the demonstration showed a large group of people outside the premises, which is believed to be home to asylum seekers and refugees, with banners.
Just this week, further protests and counterprotests have taken place at the Park Hotel in Diss.
The action comes after the Home Office informed Norfolk County Council the hotel would be used to house single, male asylum seekers.
Waveney Valley MP, Adrian Ramsay, came out to condemn the protesters, saying: "Groups from outside our community came here to create fear and division.
"That is not who we are. Diss is a town rooted in compassion and decency."
