"Where do I start! We stayed here 4 years ago and it was marvellous.it was thriving ,busy, Bustling . This time when we arrived we was told check in your car else you’ll get a fine ( great fair enough.) Then sign in and il take a card off you just in case your room gets trashed! Wow! We’re in our 60’s definitely not rock stars, id rather watch telly than chuck it out of the window! The chap then said it’s so busy here because of the bank holiday ( Monday) that the dining room may not have space / to book in as soon as possible! We didn’t want to dine in as we went into the town anyway. Breakfast was 7-9 again because it was busy . Room was comfortable and clean but tired! Creaky floor boards . Went down to breakfast at 8am not a soul to be seen. There was a list of how many rooms booked for breakfast. They were so busy yeah. 5! 3 had already been and gone! We waited a good 5 minutes before we even saw anyone. Then we had breakfast which was nice but instead of buffet it was given to us plated . On leaving an hour later.took cards back to reception. Not a word . We won’t be back again! Travel lodge cheaper £ 97 I didn’t expect the world but much better than what we got"

"I have stayed many times at this property. The front desk staff are always a bonus as they always have a smile and welcoming attitude. Also, the breakfast at the hotel continues to please with the amount of selections and piping hot. However, the hotel advertises free self parking and until this current stay that was the case. Unfortunately, they have changed their process and parking was managed by a third party. Not only was it not free, it was on the expensive side of other parking lots in the area. I would suggest returning to free parking for guest because it was a major factor in choosing this hotel in the area. "

"Good size room, large king-size comfy bed, big bathroom with walk-in shower and bath. Clean & warm."

"There is no doubt the grounds and historic parts of the hotel are beautiful but was expecting a higher quality of service and food / drinks . The waiting staff in bar and restaurant whilst lovely and friendly just not experienced or customer focused. .We dined in the restaurant and food was v mediocre . We had ordered a bottle of white wine to have during dinner and it eventually arrived after we had finished dessert despite asking for it . When it did arrive it was warm and no ice bucket again e had to chase and ask for ice twice . Breakfast similar experience junior waiting staff who don't really understand quality service. We had to wait for tea and then just got one cup poured and didn't get any opportunity for more or a pot .Service charge for dinner was added which we thought was cheeky bearing in mind the lack of service. They need a more senior front of house or restaurant manager . The new modern extension on lilac / purple is so outdated and seating not that comfortable. this area could be made much nicer needs a refurb."

"We had a fantastic stay here to celebrate my Wife's birthday. Hotel is located really close to all Malvern facilities like the theatre, shopping, evening entertainment and access to the hills. We booked the "delixe apartment" but internally atvthe hotel this is known as the "Hideaway" It is actually a 3 bedroom apartment with beautiful period features like dormer windows bit the important elements have been lovingly refurbished recently. Beautiful master bedroom with comfy bed, quality bedding, modern shower room with rainfall power shower, separate modern toilet, beautiful lounge area and a fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Sweets and chocolates along eith biscuits were left in the room too. The apartment is at the very top of the 150 year old building and offers views across the hills. The staff we met at the hotel seemed genuinely interested in making our stay a positive one, wishing my wife a happy birthday, giving advice for bars and restaurants in the area, detailing walking routes across the hills and allowing us to use the small onsite car park. Breakfast is lovely and ordered from a menu but the times are quite prompt and early, especially for a weekend with a 9.30 finish and 9am on weekdays. I understand a family run hotel wants to focus the breakfast period but some guests will find (and did find) it a struggle to make it on time! Cooked Breakfast consisted of good quality, i assume, local ingredients, with some nice home made muesl. We will return."

"No hot water and when we arrived (it had clearly been an issue as we heard other guests talk about it) no one mentioned it. Someone from our party went to ask reception and they were very dismissive. The next day still no hot water, I understand they couldn’t have fixed it there and then but they could if been proactive is telling us and offering to try and fix it."

"Amazing helpful staff Lovely food brilliant chef/chefs Bar staff reception breakfast team I wanted a bday morning with country views and breakfast on the decking Definately what I asked for I got recommend room 21 the hotel is brilliant Booked again to go in August lovely country walks "

"Extremely disappointed - spa and pool closed due to building work, not clearly stated on Expedia. Specifically booked for these facilities after a very long drive. Hotel needed updating and didn’t feel immaculately clean. Front desk was a mess. Paid £144 for one night in a room that felt like a Premier Inn room with a fridge added. Stains on carpet, no pictures or nice touches apart from robes and slippers. Sofabed looked tired and old. Cooked breakfast was good but continental had only mandarin segments - no other fruit and no choice of cereals or pasties. Dining room was bland and dark with no atmosphere - we asked to put music on as it was deathly quiet. Best thing was free parking in a lovely historic town and the shoe shop opposite which was a Sketchers outlet selling end of line with at least 50% discount. Thai restaurant a few doors down from hotel was excellent with outstanding food. Wouldn’t stay again. "

"staff are friendly, hotel is just tired, with no food in the evenings , breakfast isn't too good "
