Great pub in Worcester to stay

We loved the Cardinal’s Hat. Fantastic pub and a wonderful place to stay. The bedrooms have been refurbished to a very high standard, beautiful comfy bed and very clean. Fantastic breakfast. Only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer but we will definitely return.

Lovely, cosy room above a busy pub

Really lovely and cosy room but was a bit cold and the noise levels aren’t great given the single-glazed window. As a pub, checking in was a bit weird but staff were really friendly!

Good option

A very nice stay. Though the rooms are above a pub, it was a quiet sleep. No on-site parking, but right across the street there is a municipal parking garage which wasn't too expensive. The Cathedral is a very short walk. The inn provided a nice continental breakfast. The pub scene was quite nice...the locals were friendly and welcomed this American.

Great old place.

Amazing old property. Reeks of history with a great little bar. Virtually no internet connection in the room. Terrific location, with historic Worcester within walking distance.

Lovely character hotel

This hotel is perfect if you want to stay in a traditional English pub that is oozing character. Friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and very tasty continental breakfast. Definitely recommended 😀

Mmmm ok but …..

Good location. Car parking opposite was good at the ncp. Old and quirky. No food served at the pub of an evening. Breakfast basket was ok and novel. Room nice but needed a deep clean, very dusty! Room not serviced on the second day. Good food and pubs as well as all the sight on the doorstep.

Short break away

Lovely old pub, very atmospheric. Room was a little small but clean and comfortable. Breakfast (we paid extra for full English) was very good and freshly prepared.
