Ye Olde Talbot Hotel

The room was quite small for a double; and far too warm. That meant we had to open window onto main road; not much sleep had v noisy: -(

Ye Olde Talbot is an ancient old coaching inn in the centre of Worcester. As such, it’s perfectly placed for anyone who wants to visit Worcester or use the city as the centre for a tour around that part of the country.
An ancient old Inn it may be but it’s been well updated in the important areas so that it is not simply well placed but also well worth staying at. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable, the general amenities good. Breakfast is certainly as good as you’ll get in most well-​thought-​of hotels and other meals, if perhaps from a rather limited menu, are, nonetheless, very acceptable; they also have a quite decent wine list. The staff are friendly and efficient and the beer’s ok too.
All in all, would I recommend ‘Ye Olde Talbot’ to a good friend? Most certainly, but try to book through an agency where you’ll get a price that’s much better than the headline rates. If the star rating allowed it, I’d probably go to 3 to 3, but not quite to 4.
ps. they have no parking of their own but, at August 2011, have an arrangement with the NCP carpark next door for £6 per day.
