We have stayed in this hotel before because of its convenience to the centre of Worcester. We had an executive room, which was not worth the money we spent on it. We were there for eight nights so we expected our sheets to be changed at least once during that time. It would have been nice to have had our... more

Stating with the positives - the location is pretty convenient, and the receptionists that dealt with us couldn't have been nicer. They also allowed us to have drinks after the bar was closed in a pretty courtyard just through reception which was good. Finally, the (second) room that we were given after complaining was at least a good size, if... more

I only stayed for one night at £60 for the room, when the nearby Travelodge [a chain of basic hotels] wanted to charge £55, and it was a very reasonable price to pay for what I got. The room was clean, the service friendly, and the breakfast very reasonable, at least by English standards. My minor quibbles are: 1) Room... more

My heart sank when I saw the location next to a very busy ring road. In fairness, traffic noise was not a problem in the room. The whole place feels a bit neglected and dated. The public rooms and my bedroom all felt tired. The lighting in the bedroom was dim and made reading hard work. The staff were friendly... more

There is not a lot of choice in the centre of Worcester for full service hotels so I suppose this explains why there is little incentive for the management to improve this hotel. The hotel in clean but the rooms are creaky and very dated, with cheap fixtures and fittings. The breakfast was average buffet style and bar service was... more

Stayed at the Fownes Hotel for a couple of nights during my stay in Worcester. From the outside the Hotel looks quite impressive, aparently it was a Glove Factory many years ago which was later coverted into a Hotel. From the inside, the Hotel could probably do with a bit of modernising. The rooms were spacious, but on closer inspection... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The location is good, ideal for visiting the Cathedral and close to town centre. The car parking is good and well laid out and you can leave the car all day while you explore. Reception was good and the staff were pleasant and efficient. The lift, which is quite... more

Stayed here on business for one night recently. You can always judge a hotel by its bathroom and by its breakfast. Unfortunately, the shower head was so low that I had to bend over dramatically to wash my hair. I'm 6 foot 1 but that's not too tall I think to have a good shower! Then the breakfast was a... more

We recently stayed four nights in this lovely converted glove factory, and found the accommodations much better than we expected. The rooms were large and clean, the staff was efficient and friendly, and the price was very reasonable for the group we organized. It is a convenient walking distance from the cathedral, the shopping district, and a short taxi ride... more
