Comfortable and the staff were very pleasant. I am more happy staying in a place with character than a chain place like Travellodge or Premier Inn but it is when character moves to tired that this becomes an issue.
I think tired would be a good description. Some damp in the bathroom and the wallpaper and fittings had obviously seen a lot of use. Not an issue in itself but I didn't feel the price reflected this. Competitor properties, Premier Inn and Travellodge and even Wetherspoons were either the same price or cheaper and the quality of the accommodation was superior to here.
Nice and clean ,close to town
Quite noisy,doors banging alot
A lovely, central location and very cheap overnight rate.
The accomodation is very basic and pretty tired and scruffy. You could hear people talking in other rooms and doors opening and closing.
The staff were all nice and friendly
No lock on bathroom door noisy radiators,there was a lot of noise and disturbance in the rooms opposite us but that wasn't the hotels fault
Comfy and clean lovely staff
Location service in bar was good in evening and food ok,curtains were good and thick so nice and dark in room,unfortunately that is where it ended.
The tired room ,noise from road ,and heating made bagging noise ...breakfast was appalling folded over bacon over cooked microwave scrambled egg no colour on the sausage the continental was very limited as was the service for breakfast...just about worth £50 a night, no one ever at reception but door always open?Not much security there i!m afraid anyone could of walked to the roomsI would not recommend and I was warned by others who live in Worcester not to stay there..But location was what I needed this time , o and all the doors bagging ,such an easy fix?TLC is well over due for this property especially the bathrooms
Locality
Dirty rooms. Toilets were not cleaned and had feaces on them. Showerhead full of black mold.
Clean, comfortable and central
It’s an old place and could do with some TLC.. however, it was welcoming, spotless very comfortable, quiet and in a perfect location.
Location is excellent for the city centre and for the cathedral. Clean rooms with tea and coffee available in the room. Excellent food and quick service.
On arrival I was asked if I wanted breakfast for £12.50 so I paid for a breakfast. In my room the breakfast menu offered just a continental breakfast for £7.50 which I would have preferred. When I enquired whether I could change my paid breakfast the receptionist said he couldn't do a refund on the machine at the reception desk.
Central location, price
Noise
Close to all amenities
Room really run down,black mould on tiles in shower
Good breakfast choice, great location, nice staff
Staff, beds were comfortable, tidied after day one. Coffee facilities
Bathroom was tired and mould behind the taps on the bath ( room 7). Windows were opaque.
Loved the central location, easy access to everywhere. Warm room, clean and looked after.
The noise from the barely there windows. You could hear all the traffic as if the window was wide open, but it was closed, I checked several times thinking I was losing the plot. Our room was right next to the main road, you could hear gear changes, the music people were listening to in their cars etc all night the traffic was so close. Such a shame as the beds were comfy, the room was cosy but we didn't sleep more than an couple of hours and so had to leave breakfast as we couldn't face it. Complimentary ear plugs would've been all that's needed for me, I wouldn't expect windows to be replaced etc. I would stay again, but would bring ear plugs/noise cancelling head phones.
The room was very clean
We got the key to our room but the key wouldn't work. We had to wait a while for reception to find us another room.
Nice room and comfy bed. Staff were pleasant and helpful.
Bathroom was awful. Very poorly finished with really bad efforts at maintenance and repairs. Joints in tiles misshapen and roughly repaired with filler. Shower and bath fittings rusty in places. Whole appearance was very tired and in poor condition.
