So when I booked this room, it's was primarily for the air-conditioning as it was a heat wave and for medical reasons I needed a break from the heat.
The staff were all really welcoming and friendly. They each chatted with me whenever I encountered them, and checked on me whenever I appeared at the lobby.
At some point my air con conked out. But within 20 minutes of my approaching the subject with the receptionist I was put into a new room which was lovely.
The rooms were spotless, even though they aren't the newest decor in the world, clean and cool was all I needed!
Thank you for a pleasant stay👍

Staff were lovely & very helpful but the hotel itself is in very poor condition & quite dirty. The beds are awful & can feel every spring and the bed frame through gaps, shower curtain mouldy & no shower gel or toilet paper in the room, mugs dirty & the carpets were not clean. Again can't fault the staff, kind and welcoming.

As soon as you walk in to the hotel there was a musty smell. Appreciate it’s a 3 star, but I have to say I wouldn’t give it that.

It’s tired and dated and rooms although adequate they are not the cleanest.

No restaurant on site for evening meals, and breakfast was a let down. Poor quality products.

Sadly will not be returning to hotel. Chosen for location but wished I drive a further couple of miles to a Premier Inn.

Cheaper and cleaner.

Bed was comfy and clean. Bathroom was clean - bath had shower over it - could do with grab rail to help get in and out of bath. Room looks like it could do with a repaint and skirting board and window need a good clean! Window looked out over very wild piece of garden. No lift but there was a stair lift. Communal areas also look in need of TLC. No food in restaurant in evening but Deliveroo deliver to hotel. Breakfast ok- self service.

Looking for a low cost Kidderminster hotel, and this was what I selected. The hotel wasn’t exactly what I was expecting - the name suggests a degree of elegance, but what I found was a downmarket version of a premier inn without the consistency. Relatively convenient for nearby attractions about halfway to Bewdley on the Bewdley road. A decent walk to the center of Kidderminster for most dining options.

Accommodation was brilliant for the cost. However the TV wasn't working, and despite assurances of being moved to another room the following day, we never were. Bathroom was well equipped, however on the morning we departed, the shower wasnt running any warm water. There was no one at reception for us to advise of this issue at check out.
Over all, lovely place, welcoming staff... a couple of wee niggles, things that can happen anywhere... definitely so.ewhere id be willing to book again.

Hotel was reasonably priced for a reason. Room was spacious and comfortable but a little tired. Nice quiet location though, so had a good night sleep. Breakfast was a disappointment, best leave it at that. I would consider staying again, easy parking, good location and certainly good value for money compared to other options on this occasion.

Room had a disinfectant smell, bedding minimal, carpet needs a good cleaning, and basic shower unit - a curtain around a plastic base - with a blocked drain that risked flooding. This is certainly nowhere close to the ‘Very Good’ 8/10 rating as presented by Expedia.

The hotel needs to be a little bit more welcoming. The outside could definitely needs a good clean. The bathroom could have had glasses in there. The floors needs a good scrub as the grout looks dirty around the floor tiles. The light in the bedroom keeps flickering. Odd size cups in the bedroom. The breakfast was poor, only beans and hard boiled eggs as a hot choice. Only full fat milk also.

WiFi wasn’t working for entire stay. Staff member told me it had been down and would be fixed in 2 hours but wasn’t. Room was freezing, heating didn’t work. Staff brought me an electric heater but this struggled to warm the room. Sheets were coarse and uncomfortable. Room was extremely noisy. Made 2 noise complaints about a neighbouring room. Staff came and spoke to them but noise did not stop. Walls were paper thin. Got very poor sleep, and did not feel I got value for my money. Staff were very pleasant though so they are a credit to the hotel.

I strongly do not recommend staying at this hotel. It is nothing like the photos suggest, and the reality is a far cry from what’s promised. The photos on the website are outdated and show the hotel as it was before it was closed and later repurposed by the UK Home Office to house asylum seekers. It appears the property was recently bought, but no renovations have been made. The entire hotel feels worn down, dated, and in desperate need of major refurbishment.

The rooms and common areas are a far cry from the sleek, modern aesthetic promised in the images. There’s no sign of a bar or restaurant, despite both being advertised. Instead, you're left with a tired, almost abandoned feel, which makes it hard to believe any real investment has been made in maintaining the place.

Breakfast was another disappointment. It was extremely basic—just hard-boiled eggs and baked beans served hot, along with a small selection of cereals and pastries. Certainly not the fresh, varied spread one would expect at a hotel of any standard. Overall, the experience left a lot to be desired.

In short, I’d advise looking elsewhere for your stay. It’s clear this hotel has not kept up with its promises or its facilities, and it’s unlikely you’ll find the comfort or quality you’re hoping for here.

Not a very good night's sleep

The reception staff was welcoming when we arrived . The main problem I had was the Aircon when in use was very noisy and when turned off kept making a water like noise the whole night until roughly 0730am. Also when the Aircon was off the room was very cold and the duvet was extremely thin !

Week-end break

This was our wedding venue 33 years ago and we stayed this weekend to visit friends and family.
The hotel looks tired and dreary and unfortunately no ambience. The rooms were clean but in need of some TLC. I used a Tesco voucher and I’m not sure I’d be happy with the £92 price tag if I was paying.
No breakfast being served or evening meals as the hotel was too quiet to bring in chefs and waiting in staff. This we fully understood as we run our own pub and B and B, but it would have been good to know when booking from hotels.com.
We were welcomed warmly and with just one person running the hotel a great job was done. We hope this venue can power through the difficult times and return to its former popularity and glory. We wish you all the best

Saturday night stop

Arrived in room to find it smelly and smelling of smoke. I opened the window to vent and left it open and all was fine. However I later discovered why the room smelt. When we returned later the room stank again this was because we were above the smoking shelter which everyone used until 2,30 in the morning. Do not book a room at the front of the hotel and take earplugs if you do. The manager in the morning was sympathetic but I had paid the day before so he was blowing smoke you know where. Convenience great but beware if they have a function on

The staff were pleasant and efficient, rooms were pretty basic and missing the little touches that have been found in other hotel stays elsewhere across the UK but for a one night stay didn't affect things too much.
In the family room the sofa bed was quite creaky and you could feel the springs & bars through the thin topper. Moved to the bed half way though the night squeezing in with the rest of the family which was much better.
The biggest shame was the attitude of some guests on our floor who at 1am loudly returned to their rooms speaking loudly without any concern for sleeping guests. Guests leaving early the next morning also couldn't respect the rest of those around them allowing the room doors to slam shut just before 7am. Not the hotels fault but a umfortunate all the same.

The worst hotel stay I've ever had. No food, or room service. Drink service only.. £3.50 each time. No help, service or anything. The hairdryer didnt work, the iron didnt work. Over all hygiene was dire, the room smelled damp. Beetles and spiders in the bathroom. No replenishment for the 5ml of shower gel between two when it was used on day one. Room cleaning consisted of removing the bin, didnt make the bed, or make any effort to make it look appealing. Key card for the door continually broken so standing in the hallway for 10 mins each time we tried to get into the room. The doors slammed all night long. No comfort what so ever, wouldn't recommend anybody to stay there, even the beetles gave up in the end

Smile lady.....

The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom was a good size and appeared to have been recently renewed. The TV was a bit small and the window didn't open. The check in (I think by the night porter) was fine, but there was a lady on reception who I walked past 3 times when leaving or entering who didn't look up, smile, say hello or even acknowledge I was there, I know its only a small thing, but that's the type of thing that personally, I think makes a difference and shows that they care about you as a customer. Price was reasonable for the area and quality, they need to buy some better TVs and charge a couple of quid a night extra in my view

This is a listed building - with the potential to be lovely. However, the public areas were dull, lacking in style, and unwelcoming, and the ambiance was more like that of a waiting room. Bedroom was similarly lacking in charm, though very clean, with all that one might need for a short stay. Pillows were old, lumpy and flat and the room was cold (temperature could be modified by Reception - which I didn't know, until I was leaving). Very good breakfast. Staff very pleasant, although one of them made several errors on check-in, which was surprising, to say the least.On balance a disappointing choice - but perhaps spoiled by experience of wonderful, much cheaper hotels in the Pyrenees mountains

Once in my room it was clean and tidy however i did notice black tap in the backroom on the counter top which was slightly dirty in the bathroom.

Otherwise it was an alright stay for one night.

Gainsborough House Hotel, reallly nice and friendl

Room was fine, just a lot of noise around 1AM when a neighbouring room took a shower, sounded sooo loud, reckon the drainpipe was next to our wall as it seemed we might get flooded out! Then a constant dripping pinging noise for the rest of the night. Didn't sleep well but that due to reason for being there, a family funeral.
Breakfast was lovely, very well catered for. Maybe could have put some porridge sachets out?!
All in all a nice place to stay, loved the decor in the bar and restaurant! Thanks for looking after us!

Outdated

Really enjoyed my evening meal in the restaurant however the hotel seems quite outdated and run down. I noticed a leak in the breakfast/restaurant area which was quite bad. The room itself was ok. The air heater/cooler was most annoying though. Even though I turned it off before I went to sleep it came on noisily and abruptly in the middle of the night, waking me up. I wouldn’t choose to stay here again if it wasn’t for the convenient location for my business in that area.

Overall a good stay!

This was our first time in the hotel. It is quite 'mainstream' for couples and business persons alike. Nothing to blow your socks off!
Parking was easy and plentiful on arrival and it was well signed. Reception welcome could have been warmer and more efficient to be honest. Also bar service in the early afternoon. My partner however used the bar late in the evening following our local 'gig' and said that the barman/night manager was really good....helpful and friendly.
Our room was well appointed and comfortable. Quiet room at the front even though on main road.
Breakfast welcome was good - our waitress pointed out where everything was which was helpful.
Range of offerings was pretty std. although I would have preferred choice of teas.
Cooked buffet was hot and area was clean. The restaurant looked as if it had recently been refurbished and was attractive. We thought the entrance could do with the same upgrade in line with the bar/restaurant area which was very contemporary.

Decent traditional hotel-clean and tidy

Quite a traditional hotel really. We found our room comfortable-no real bells and whistles but we were staying just one night. Only issue we had was a very noisy and disruptive wedding party where there were kids running around the upstairs passageways well after midnight and continually shouting and slamming the door to one of the rooms. Not really the hotels fault but annoying nonetheless.
WiFi is easy to access for those that want it.
Breakfast was included and very good. No complaints. Is on a busy road but has plenty of parking

A central location (handy for the centre of Kidderminster as well as local attractions), very friendly and helpful staff. However, the hotel is a little dated and in need of an update, not least to the soundproofing between rooms! The reception staff (Vivian and Pauline) were extremely helpful and a fast solution was found when we needed to change rooms & whilst not ideal, (family room to a twin) it was lovely and quiet!

It is reasonably priced, friendly staff but can get very busy, so best to try and book well ahead if possible.
