Helpful, courteous, and attentive friendly staff, always there when you need them, but at the same time unobtrusive. The rooms are really spacious, bright & airy with lovely, modern decor, and as mentioned, spotlessy clean. All the usual room comforts are provided such as tea/coffee making facilities, ironing board+iron and TV. The bathroom was really gorgeous too with a roll-top bath plus walk-in shower. Expensive smelling toileties & beautifuly soft white fluffy towels completed the superior ambiance of the whole building. Breakfast was a delightful experience, with excellent quality locally sourced food, and plenty of it. Some things were even home-made too, like the delicious jams and marmalade. Oh, and better not forget to mention that they also cater for veggetarians. There is lots of attention to detail here, with everything you could want to hand - and if it's not there just ask, & you will be given - with a smile, I might add! I can't praise the owners high enough for their unwavering consideration towards their guests, which in my opinion more than ensures return visits, and plenty of them! To summerize: Outstanding.If I could award more than five stars on this reveiw, then believe me, I would - ten times over!!!

    I'm going to give this 5 stars for being a great Premier Inn, not for the grade of hotel…read more It's brand new, built by the river next to the Worcester County Cricket ground, which on my visit was completely underwater, as you can see in the picture! Rooms were a good size, clean and comfortable with all the usual facilities that you would expect from a Premier Inn - en suite bathroom, large TV, hairdryer, tea & coffee facilities (no biscuits though), choice of pillows for the bed, and 30 minutes free Wi-Fi. Minimal, but all you need for a good night's sleep - in fact, they do say that they will refund your money if you don't sleep properly. I was tempted to put this to the test as I didn't really get back to sleep after being woken up by the room upstairs returning at 1.30am, but that's not the fault of the hotel so it would have been churlish of me to complain. The check-in has two automated desks similar to ATMs or airline check-ins that are very easy to use, although there was a very helpful and friendly staff member on duty as well to help guide you through the process if needed. They also reassured me that the night watchman would keep an eye on the car in the car park and wake me up if the rising flood waters, which were already covering a third of the car park, threatened to engulf it. The bar and restaurant is in the building, and the staff both at the bar and at breakfast could not have been more helpful and friendly. I didn't eat the evening meal in the bar, but the menu looked OK and reasonably priced. Had I not had a prior engagement I would have eaten here quite happily. As usual at Premier, breakfast is extra but it's worth buying one as you can eat all you want from the buffet. There was a good choice of hot food to order, including vegetarian sausages (yay!). This might be because the place is new and they're trying to make a good impression (it worked!), but I hope it lasts, as this is a very convenient location close to the city centre when visiting Worcester.

    Just added this establishment to Yelp. We stayed 4 nights here and found it very comfortable and…read moreclean. I think it is quite new as everything is clean and sparkles. It is a basic hotel, but its location is right downtown and is very central to most activities. The room provided a comfortable bed, good hanging space and mirrors, a large comfortable bed, TV, but no phones. The Bathroom is large and has a very deep tub/shower. The tub is slippery getting in or out. No wash cloths, and only 1 large bath towel and 1 hand towel for the two of us Free coffee and tea in room as well. The Inn provides a buffet breakfast for extra which we did not try. There are many eating places very close by. We were quite happy with our stay and encountered no problems. Would recommend.

I wasn't quite use to the British toilet and mechanics which was frustrating to me....lol Located downtown near bars, liquors stores, restaurants, shopping centres you name it. Sundays everything closes early. There is a lovely kebab restaurant 2 min walk from the inn if your fighting the late night munchies where the owners are just wonderful and entertaining. The view from my room was just beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend if they are ever visiting Cheltenham. Oh and the dollar store is right across the street if your looking for emergency toiletries.

    The Royal Hop Pole - Loved the historic atmosphere. Very dark and quiet and just really cool.

    This place reminded me of a British version of Denny's. The food is just okay but it's cheap (even…read moreby U.K. standards). I was drawn in by the cool old building that houses this place. There was also a rather large crowd of locals dining here -- and now I know why! Large portions and low prices. The restaurant works like a traditional British pub. You go in and select a seat. There are menus on the table. Once you are ready to order, you go up to the bar and place your food order. It's sometimes confusing for Americans and other tourists and it does take some getting used to. Nobody will look at you strange if you just want to eat and don't want a pint (but it would be a shame not to imbibe when in England)! I loved the atmosphere of the place; it just oozes history from the creaky wooden floors to the cozy fireplaces tucked around the interior. Literary buffs must make a stop here and take some photos (there's a plaque out front) since Charles Dickens mentions The Royal Hop Pole in his first novel, "The Pickwick Papers." The food was just okay, I made this mistake of ordering off the special paper menu on the table. I didn't know there were more selections on a larger menu that was available on some tables. Oops, lesson learned too late. I got a boring chicken sandwich but the chips and peas were good. It's hard not to love British chips and peas, though.
