We stayed 2 nights in room 8, it was OK, if a bit tired. It was clean and had all we needed. Stairs down into the ensuite bathroom were a bit of a challenge in the night. Shower over the bath was a step over in and out - a handrail might be helpful. Staff were friendly. We didn't eat here, we did use the bar. Location is good - nice bars and restaurants close by. No parking on site. Overall it was OK for the price.

I love this old property unfortunately the mattress in room I stayed in had seen better days and the springs could be felt which led to a very uncomfortable and sleepless night. I had booked for 2 nights and had to leave early the first morning to find alternative accommodation. The manager was on annual leave but tried her best to rectify the situation upon return.

Very convenient if travelling without a car. It's an old building but Greene King have made the best of it, with individual touches you don't often find with chains. The breakfasts are excellent and the staff very helpful. We had quite a large room with a half-tester bed for a very reasonable price including breakfast.

If the weather is cool the double glazing keeps out most of the street noise, but even with June outside temperatures around 16C the room was notably warm. I wouldn't stay if a heatwave is forecast. I expect it's cosy in winter.

A pleasantly quirky place, and the staff were incredibly lovely and helpful. Rooms were fresh and spotlessly clean. No noise from inside the hotel, and little from outside. Bar was good value. The cooked breakfast wasn't great, and I didn't feel particularly good value, but the continental breakfast was very good value and very tasty and fresh. Would happily stay again!

Room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Loved roaming around the hotel's nooks and corners. It is an old and historic building and it met our expectation. We got a very good deal, mid week. Breakfast - enjoyed the content part, including blueberries and yoghurt. Cooked English breakfast was mediocre and wished I had stuck to continental. Will return to the pub and to stay in the hotel.

Booked a twin room. Was offered an upgrade for a cost and was then given a single bed not twin. Complained and was then put into a standard room and given a few beverages to ‘upgrade’ the room. No fridge etc. Room also had a bad drain smell but after all the room changes and hassle just put up with it. Reception were good enough to refund the upgrade cost in the morning but the overall experience was not the best.

Great little hotel will be coming back

We booked to go to the races and choose ye old Talbot and glad we did the hotel is bit dated but it goes with the hotel which is an old building and quirky managed to book the four poster bed which is comfy and had good night's sleep after the races we decided to eat there and rather than pick something of main course we went for 6 starters and food was excellent standard and well worth the money only downside which was stated no car park but there is one next door £11.00 for the night and not sure if was the boiler but came on during night did make nit of a noise

Tired and a little overpriced

Slightly tired hotel, overpriced for the facilities provided. Comfort is adequate. A fan was provided in my room, but this barely compensated for inability to open windows fully on hot evenings: the fan was laughably underpowered.

Room service was cursory: my bed was remade once during a three night stay, but this consisted of straightening the duvet.

Food is provided in the pub below: I did not try the food but the menu is extensive and typical of a chain pub.

Reception is largely unstaffed. The hotel does not provide spare or additional keys, which is a resilience issue.

Convenient with Excellent Breakfast

Comfortable room at very reasonable price including full breakfast, which was excellent. Convenient for city centre, cathedral and cricket (my reason for trip). I travelled by train so can't comment on parking. It's an old inn so rooms are not super-modern but have character. It was very warm until I had had the windows open overnight. A fan was provided but I was glad I missed the predicted heatwave a few days later. With windows open there was a degree of street noise, e.g. bin lorries early morning. I will return provided there's no heatwave forecast!

Check-in to the hotel was good. Quick service by reception. Got to the room and it was clean but very basic. I stayed in this hotel with work over 8 years ago & the carpet & furniture which looked dated then, have still not been replaced. The hotel is close to the cathedral & in the city centre. It could be a gem if the rooms had some money spent on them.

We didn’t enjoy our stay at the property. It was very tired looking. Small room, not well presented and the bathroom was grubby.
The bed wasn’t comfortable and pushed against the wall, barely any space to walk round the bed, only one set of towels.
Wouldn’t recommend, definitely not value for money.
The pub itself is nice, enjoyed our drinks.

The property is pretty old; so am I, in human terms. So inevitably no lift, but a solid staircase is fine; but there are steps in the corridor and even within the rooms (or my room, anyway) which need care. And I couldn't quite manage to open the window, even a little. The staff friendly and helpful; food fine, if fairly simply (which is OK for me); breakfast coffee not hot enough ... but it's a great place, full of character, and so near the cathedral I feared to be disturbed by bells; but I wasn't, and it was quiet at night. Well worth a visit! *****

Lovely and clean, on the edge of the Town centre, opposite the Cathedral. Great for walking into the Centre and quiet at night, apart from the noise of people staying in the Talbot. An old coaching inn, with plenty of character and a warren of walks to get to some rooms. The room we had was a bit dark, but coped with the lights as we were visiting family, who lived local.

Staff were lovely from the guys checking us in to the housekeepers cleaning the rooms.

Would stay again

Clean, basic, good value.

Good value room. Clean. Everything needed and although a little old fashioned in places, fits the characterful building. TV and kettle. Some efforts underway to maintain and redecorate. You need to let the shower run for at least 2-3 min for the hot water to come through, but good flow and pressure. Staff helpful and convenient location for the City centre, just by the cathedral. There is a very handy NCP next door, which was £11.95 for an overnight stay at the time of writing, or £9.95 if you had preloaded and registered with the NCP app. Didn’t have the opportunity to try a meal or breakfast but the food looked good from a distance!

SHABBY

The room has seen much better days. Curtains hanging off the rail, threadbare carpet, dated furniture. Bathroom spacious but had an unclean feel to it. Woodwork faded and chipped. For £135, room only, for our one night stay, I was very disappointed. The advertising photos dont give you the true picture of this hotel. No lift so getting a heavy suitcase up the stairs was a challenge. I have stayed in a lot of hotel rooms. This one is memorable for all the wrong reasons. On the plus side, if you dont mind roughing it the hotel is central! Parking was a nightmare. The NCP car park entrance is blocked off on the hotel side, so navigating the one way system to get to the other side was another experience I wouldnt want to repeat. I will not be a returning guest. If you have standards this is NOT the hotel for you. If I had booked for any more than one night I would have checked out. The staff are lovely.

Great location in Friar Street the prettiest and oldest street in the city centre, with good cafes and restaurants on the doorstep. Quiet. Everywhere is within walking distance. A bit shabby but it’s an old building and reasonably priced for the location and we only slept there, so good value for money

An unexpected pleasure

I loved my stay at Ye Olde Talbot Hotel. It’s very old and charming, he room was clean and comfortable, the restaurant serves quality food and drinks, and every member of staff from reception to food service to housekeeping were all very pleasant and helpful. I came to Worcester on a whim, but It turned out to be the best part of my vacation so far. I will certainly come back, and when I do, I’ll be booking a room at Ye Olde Talbot Hotel.

No heating on,just a portable radiator, did not heat up room enough. Room very dark, even with all the lights on. Very noisy, could hear people in other rooms and woken up by clanging and banging at 7am from restaurant below.

Noisy room

Fair place to stay. I had room #6 and had just about the worst nights sleep I’ve had for ages. About every 20 minutes, some water would flow (I suspect the automated flush to the gents urinals) and the noise in the room was awful. During the day you may not notice it but at night it was awful. No one to really report it to so doing it now. Breakfast was great. Would stay again in a different room. Cheap but you get what you pay for I guess

Can't say much in favour of this property. With no warning to me, vehicle access to the hotel and nearby car park was prohibited that day. Couldn't contact the hotel by phone and had to park nearly a mile away. Receptionist supported her company rather than being customer focused - politely. The bar area is clean and fresh. The hotel is shabby, looked dirty, and the room was gloomy and uncomfortable. We left very quickly and chose to drive three hours home rather than stay. You will hear more in due course.

You need to be agile and have a good sense of direction. Many stairs and corridors to my room. Very basic room, stairs to bathroom with wornout carpet and in need of up dating. Slippery bath and hard to use taps. Water following from tap as well as shower. Also not aware when booking of no car park.

The staff that checked me in was lazy and uninterested in guiding me to my room. Abd i got lost inside so many time. You will have to wait till eternity at the reception before someone comes to answer you.

The building was very old and looked very dirty, my toilet wasn't flushing very well. The heaters weren't working.

No telephone gadget to reach out to the reception where necessary.
