Stayed a couple of times and apart from poor showers, frayed towels, no coat hangers in the shabby wardrobes, bar closing at 6pm, 15 to 20 minutes for hot water in the mornings, noisy roads at night, £7.50 for breakfast when it eventually arrived, only 4 channels on the TV in the rooms, creaky floorboards and lack of decent heating...

Spent a couple of wet days in Worcester but this hotel was a ray of sunshine. Trish (who apparently does everything from cleaning rooms, manning reception and bar and cooking/serving breakfast) was fanstastic and could not do enough for us. Our room was clean and well equipped, breakfast, excellent value and we were made to feel so welcome. Only a... More

A really friendly lady greeted us, showed us to our room, served us in the bar later (and was really accommodating, letting our family use the facilities even though they were not staying) and also made us a fantastic full english the following morning - it turned out that she had been running it herself that week as her business...

This is THE Great Worcester find. A 10 minute stroll to the centre of Worcester and a lovely greeting from Trish the attentive and humerous Irish Receptionist/Cook/Housekeeper/Barperson etc on return. Although I was staying here on my own to attend a funeral, the warmth I received on arrival and throughout my 2 day stay was tremendous. It was like staying... More

Didn't start off too well here. First room offered had a curtain rail that had fallen out of the wall. Changed with no problem and the second room was much nicer although on the top floor (view of the cathedral made up for walking the four flights of stairs!) However, the bin hadn't been emptied since the previous occupier. Everything... More

To start with the location isn't great, however the service we received by the staff was excellent. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The rooms are basic but at good standard, clean, spacious and value for money. I can fault the hotel, staff or rooms. Tdownstairs bar was cosey and the drinks were reasonably priced. So all in all...

basic adequate if rather shabby hotel with an exceptionally pleasant manager (compare him to the obnoxious manager at the Fownes and he practically achieves sainthood). Unlike the Fownes what you see is what you pay and unlike the Fownes it does not pretend to be a top notch establishment.

Stayed here two nights as needed to be handy for the station, which it is. Room was quite spacious, and clean as was the en-suite. Furnishings fairly basic but sufficient for a short stay; bed comfortable. Cooked breakfast (buffet) available and very acceptable. Pleasant bar-lounge. Friendly welcome. No phone in the room as promised on the website, but this was... More
