An overnight stay in The Malverns
Pros:

We had a huge comfortable bed which was great. Bedding was lovely and fresh and clean. Our room faced a courtyard backing into a lively beer garden which was noisy so not a great place to get an early night. The free breakfast was not really worth bothering with though sadly as the ingredients were not great. The staff were all great.

Nice hotel, excellent location
Pros:

The hotel was very nice, in an excellent location. The room was comfy, although no aircon so got very hot as I stayed in a heatwave.
Breakfast had a good range and the bar area is very nice for the evening.

Disappointing
Pros:

We had to move rooms as our bedding was dirty in the first room. The room we were moved to was considerably smaller and was very hot and uncomfortable (even with a fan in the room). Overall place looked tired. Breakfast was good and staff were ok but surprised to be given a worse room when we changed because it wasn’t clean!

Very disappointing not good value for high price.
Pros:

Very disappointing. Cost of the room over £250.00 per night. Mould in bathroom, dispenser dirty. Decor in reception rooms very dated and depressing. Expected waitress service for breakfast, food was good but coffee/tea machines! No fresh coffee tea. Overall would not recommend and value for money absolutely not.

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, was a bit disappointed not to be in the old building, for the price we paid.
No air conditioning, which due to the extremely hot weather, (not the hotels fault), made sleeping difficult as the room was too hot.

Great hotel
Pros:

Such a lovely hotel with lovely food and drink served by very friendly staff.
I was slightly disappointed with my room as others in our party who had paid the same rate had a fridge in the room ( it was 29c on the day of our stay ) and also bedside plugs - I suffer from sleep apnea and have to sleep with a Cpac machine which ness plugging in - unfortunately I was unable to use this machine on one night thus effecting my sleep that night.
However, I lovely mental stay and would love to return one day
Thank you , Rob.

Pros:

The Abbey Hotel was ideally placed for our theatre visit and close to the shops we wanted to visit. Access to the Worcester Beacon and the superb views is close by, the station is within walking distance through a lovely park and there are many independent cafes to relax in.

Pros:

The property looked lovely but the room only had one window which was on a security latch and only able to open 4 inches. No air conditioning was like a sauna and not able to sleep. The bar/waiter had a dreadful cough. Hope he didn't have covid. Very disappointing stay

Premium room not premium at all
Pros:

Very nice hotel, stayed ther 3rd time. Decided to go for a premium room this time, paid significantly more for a premium room but couldn’t say what was premium about it, same size as standard room, bathroom even smaller, no aircon or even fan, no mini fridge, total rip off to charge much more for same standard like normal room. So next time just don’t bother and take standard room as hotel itself is really nice and perfect location

Pros:

Everything was lovely, although the shower was very old and the water pressure poor. Otherwise the room was lovely. The 1st room we were allocated wasn't ready but they'd already sent us up, so we had to go back down and get a new room. They were very apologetic and it was fine.

Disappointing stay
Pros:

Very dated interiors, weak shower pressure (almost dribbling), no shower gel (shower gel dispenser empty, had not been checked by cleaners), room was stifling hot but thankfully there was a fan in the room. Breakfast was mediocre at best. We travel to Malvern fairly frequently and will not be revisiting this establishment
