I have had the misfortune of staying at The Fownes twice now, due to travelling to Worcester to attend training courses. So my stays there were not out of choice. I would certainly not pay my own money to stay in this hotel. The staff are miserable and give you the bare minimum of service. On my first stay, last... more

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. The reception was clean, light and airy - I couldn't see any of the cracks mentioned by previous reviewers. I found the staff very helpful and was guided to our room by the housekeeper... more

Went for a meal and the menu was not too bad but I peeked into the kitchen area as the kitchen door was wide open for the abitlity to allow guests to wander in aimlessly only to find the washer up washing the plates by hand as the dishwasher as packed up apparently for months now. This explains the dirty... more

Horrible, horrible, horrible, never want to stay at "Fawlty Towers" again, the young restaurant staff where pleasant and helpful. But as for the "Manager", a foreign John Cleese and his under Manager "Sibil" were not helpful at all, (when you could find them) more

Stayed for one night on 25 August 2009 whilst watching cricket in Worcester. Got a great rate at the hotel, but I would not pay too much for this hotel. The service was excellant, the room was large and clean but the hotel is looking quite tired and shabby in places. I was first allocated a room that overlooked the... more

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
