“This property's city-center location stands out, placing guests steps away from Worcester Cathedral and other local attractions; inside, I found the hotel maintained a traditional character, although some rooms show their age. Excellent service and dining, particularly the breakfasts and local ales, make it a worthwhile stay for those who appreciate historic charm over modern luxury. I think it's a solid choice for those looking for an affordable, well-located base.”

A mixed experience at the hotel

great location good food friendly staff dated room noise issue thin wall
The location was great (a short walk to the station). I also found the food to be very good. The staff were friendly, too.
The room felt quite dated. I could hear a lot of noise inside the building. The walls seemed thin.

the breakfast i had was pretty bad. the full english was not good. the bacon tasted like it was boiled and the sausages were cheap. the hotel room was kinda old too with wallpaper peeling off and mold in the bathroom. it was also loud because my room faced the street and i could not sleep well.
