Very good location. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we got a great rate for the room. Yes, the decor is dated, but we came to Worcester to shop, not to be in our room all weekend and it was very clean. The breakfast was great and the service was excellent. If anything, we found the other guests... more

Dirty dusty cold but spacious room ,staff that had lost the will to live and just did not want to be there, awful breakfast with soggy toast in a freezing cold dining room, we could not wait to leave. This hotel could be a real gem if the right people owned it. more

Having read previous reviews on this hotel I was anticipating a horror - but was pleasantly suprised and felt I must be at a different hotel.

This hotel is very well placed for exploring Worcester. The building is lovely. The staff are young and enthusiastic. That's the good news However, the food is really poor. Breakfast is a chaotic experience, the quality of the food produce is not good. I ate out in the evening rather than try the restaurant, as breakfast and lunch had put... more

The hotel is dated and could do with a revamp BUT the bedlinen was spotless and the bathroom likewise- I checked it with a dettol wipe! Our room was very spacious... more
