In need of renovating

Hotel is in need of modernisation very old and tatty furniture, hair in bath plug from previous guest, no soap, shower gel in bathroom you have to pay if you want it and at £134 a night i expect at least soap to wash your hands. Just a shame as it’s a perfect location but the hotel needs some renovations.

Surprisingly Spacious Stay

This hotel was amazing! The room was large with a high ceiling. All the regular hotel buts and pieces for coffee, tea etc. The room also came with a super comfortable couch, which was perfect for a rest and not having to sit on the bed. I was really impressed with the servuces, the TV even had Netflix available. I will absolutely stay there again when travelling to Worcester :)

The hotel was generally good and comfortable with an excellent location to trains and downtown core and attractions. Counter staff was responsive with other concerns and requests. The bed was beyond end of life with a deep recess, we did not mention it at departure as it was self evident and the hotel had allowed this to persist. This is picked up with basic maintenance and checking. This hotel has a VG offering if only it focussed on the basics that travellers require.

Fownes Stay

Overall it was below expectations relative to booking based on photos. Blackout curtains would have improved light outs environment. Hotel in need of general refurbishment as decor is dated. No bin in main room. Had to keep going to use bathroom bin. Lack of accessible electrical points (e.g. laptop). No electrical point where small table was situated. Would have had to move the table to the other side of the room. A few more chairs in main room for sitting. Breakfast was ok. Staff polite and courteous.

Noisy. No hot water fir wash or shower.

When I arrived the room I was in was right next to the lounge area. Put it this way the picture in the lounge next to the settee was the other side of our room. I did ask if poss if I could change as I had to go to bed early and be up at 6am. They said they couldn’t. I was awake most of the night with people in the lounge. As the noise was in consistent I was going to ring the reception then it went quite, then it started up again about 15 mins later. This went on and on. The reception said they couldn’t do anything as I didn’t complain at the time. The other room I book for my friend has even more of a nightmare as there was a wedding and they were more noisy than my room as she was near the main entrance upstairs. She had no hit water at all (this maybe as we were up early). Again she complained and nothing said. U could see they weren’t bothered.

Just a few negative points

Broken floor number selector in lift 1/2 pushed inwards appeared unsafe, told it’s often out of service due to this but was in use. Double bed in room 306 very small with plug socket under a desk near to skirting board that’s wasn’t easily accessible especially for me having joint and back problems. Room also very hot. After speaking with staff and showing them the size of the bed alternative room offered. Again, location of plugs not great couldn’t access a mirror when using hairdryer and socket low down at side of desk to charge phone. Had to carry the boiled kettle across to the table where refreshments tray was. Both rooms were very clean, bed was comfy and extra pillows were available. Location was great and staff were very helpful. Photos of bigger room below. Kettle and tray were on the round table in pic 1 sockets were either left side of tv or across on the smaller cabinet at side of the bed. Mirror behind the door or in the bathroom

Worcester Friday....

Ideal, single evening stay....I saw other comments advising the rooms were old & that is the case, but they are large & spacious. Shower was lovely & warm and Staff were perfectly pleasant. Bit annoying that as a resident you have to pay for parking....inc that in the bill & hide it, don't make a guest pay seperately for that.
