It was okay close to town and pubs
Pros:

Friendly staff, nice selection of beer , good food options, comfortable bed

Cons:

The rooms could do with a make over and up dating , the room was far to hot even though the window was open and the fan was blowing . The plug socket at the end of the bed in room 18 was hanging out the wall .

Pros:

Location

Cons:

My Room in particular was hot all night every night 35-36degrees!
When eventually I did tell them The night porter said, "yes, we know"
Rooms 24 & 4 were just bearable, rooms 10 & 12 ere very warm but my room was hot. I took my heart bpm one night it was 111! Which was dangerously high They couldn't give me another room so I'm going to try and get some money back.
Yes the weather was hot outside but everywhere else we went to visit had Air-conditioning.
The only photos I will share are the ones showing the temperature in my room with the thermometer I bought for the occasion! 😡

Historic character and charm in the oldest part of Worcester
Pros:

Very characterful place adjacent to the main Tudor street in Worcester likely also with Tudor origins and probably listed. Probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. You have to watch your head on low beams though and the corridor plan on the first floor has to be memorised with care although that's part of the olde worlde experience.

Cons:

You are not going to sleek modern facilities but they probably have to fit in with the historic character so that's what you get.
