10/10 Exceptional

Gorgeous historic pub with lovely rooms.

I stayed in the King John room. Had a double poster bed and a lovely bathroom. The pub has loads of character and the room was very comfortable. A picnic hamper for breakfast was lovely.

6/10 Good

Ok. It is a room above a back street pub. Comfortable bed, fan was disgustingly dirty. No food options but you are in town so you can wander out to find something

strategic location but very noisy rooms
Alessandro Paolo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice rooms in a characterful old pub. Good breakfast, great cask beers and very nice staff. The room was a little hot given the warm weather, but a small price to pay.

Great pub / hotel loved it.

A very different hotel being the oldest pub in Worcester. Absolutely loved the Cardinals Hat, we will be back.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Being above an old pub, we did no know what to expect. We had a love room that was spotlessly clean, a very comfy bed and a smashing bathroom. The staff were excellent as well.
Scott, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average room for the cost.

I paid upgrade to a more expensive room so had higher expectations. The room was fine, but nothing to shout from the rooftops about. Proper coffee for breakfast would have been nice, rather than the instant. The breakfast continental box was nice though. The area was quiet, so that was also pleasing, and convenient for the Cathedral.

Great location.

Great location, however if you’re in a car , it’s very difficult to find a spot and the NCP right opposite the hotel has an entrance a 7 minute drive away but a lot longer in rush hour . The hotel does not have any private parking! .

Quirky but fun hotel in centre city Worcester. VERY dog-friendly - which was grand. A nice quiet pub and really helpful staff. We hope to return.

Great pub in Worcester to stay

We loved the Cardinal’s Hat. Fantastic pub and a wonderful place to stay. The bedrooms have been refurbished to a very high standard, beautiful comfy bed and very clean. Fantastic breakfast. Only sorry that we couldn’t stay longer but we will definitely return.

Nice comfy room in an old worldy Inn in the heart of Worcester just a stones throw from the cathedral. Friendly staff and good food made for a really enjoyable stay!

Exactly what i expected from a 14th century pub. Quirky, cosy and charming. Friendly and helpful staff. Right in the centre so very convenient.

Short break away

Lovely old pub, very atmospheric. Room was a little small but clean and comfortable. Breakfast (we paid extra for full English) was very good and freshly prepared.
Yvonne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely, cosy room above a busy pub

Really lovely and cosy room but was a bit cold and the noise levels aren’t great given the single-glazed window. As a pub, checking in was a bit weird but staff were really friendly!

All is okay in the Hat
