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.

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!

Great old place.
Amazing old property. Reeks of history with a great little bar. Virtually no internet connection in the room. Terrific location, with historic Worcester within walking distance.

An historic property in the heart of the tourist area. Beautiful streets, buildings and pubs. Great breakfast options, 5 lb full English or continental delivery to room door. Lovely staff, nice room. And a pub right downstairs!

Lovely short break
Amazing ,very friendly ,clean ,staff always happy to help , very comfortable stay , breakfast was included in a basket outside your room but we paid extra £5 each to have full English per day and it’s well worth it would highly recommend Nicole and Ellis are a credit to the hotel …. Very central to all parts of Worcester .

This is a very beautiful little pub. The rooms are all unique and have their own charecters. Staff are really friendly. The continental breakfast is delivered in a picnic basket outside your room or you can have a cooked breakfast in the bar.
Parking via car park is right outside and shopping is just a short walk away
