Summary of reviewsSevern View Hotel in Worcester offers a highly appealing location that has received considerable praise from guests. It is centrally positioned, providing convenient access to railway and bus stations while allowing visitors to explore the city centre on foot. Key attractions such as the cathedral, racecourse and various shops and restaurants are all within walking distance and the nearby River Severn provides picturesque views and opportunities for pleasant riverside walks. Despite being somewhat basic and in need of updates, the hotel's location and the welcoming staff contribute to its reputation for good value, especially for those attending events or exploring Worcester.
The breakfast experience has received mixed reviews but leans towards the positive. Guests value the freshly cooked Full English breakfast and the availability of vegetarian options with many finding the meal delicious and sufficient to start the day. The friendly and welcoming staff enhance the breakfast experience, although some complaints about seating comfort, limited choices and occasional cleanliness issues have been noted.
Room experiences are varied with primary positive points being the spaciousness and comfort, along with the lovely river views. The convenience of tea and coffee services and large, comfortable rooms stand out. However, the decor often appears dated and maintenance and cleanliness issues, such as outdated furnishings, dusty surfaces and plumbing problems, are recurrent. Signs of ongoing refurbishment suggest efforts to improve these aspects.
Cleanliness appears to be a significant concern, as some areas suffer from poor maintenance. While some guests praised the clean bed linens and towels, others pointed out dirty carpets, mouldy bathrooms and general neglect throughout the property.
Staff interactions are generally positive with many guests highlighting the welcoming and helpful demeanor of the staff, including special mentions of the owner and bar staff. However, some guests have reported instances of rude or indifferent behavior and minimal staff presence at times.
The wifi service, while free, is described as adequate but occasionally problematic. Connection issues and poor reception, particularly during busy periods, are noted.
Severn View Hotel is well-suited for those who appreciate an active nightlife, as it houses a lively pub with activities like karaoke nights. This can be an energetic and fun environment for night owls but may pose challenges for guests seeking a quiet stay due to the noise from the bar and street.
The beds receive mixed feedback. Many find them clean and comfortable, contributing to a good night’s sleep, although issues with bed quality such as low, hard or worn-out mattresses are reported. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment is that sleep quality is generally satisfactory.
In summary, Severn View Hotel is best for those who prioritize location and affordability and can tolerate some dated decor and occasional maintenance issues. The welcoming staff and vibrant surroundings add to the charm, making it a reasonable choice for short stays in Worcester.
