Appalled is not adequate. Phoned this morning to clarify a few things prior to booking (ahead of some planned seminars and conferences). Website booking not clear as to whether to enter the number of people or rooms. Phone call taken by a male, bit dififcult to understand - he quoted a price that differed from the online. Offered to get... More

Stayed here one saturday night in december during the xmas fair weekend for an old boys school reunion. Town was busy and glad we chose this hotel as very convenient for town and our old school. Breakfast is reasonable quality and good quantity. Parking is available but please remember to enter your registration number on the computer. A little noise... More

I booked the Fownes despite reading some poor reviews. I telephoned the Hotel and expressed my concerns, these were dealt with politely and I was assured by them that I would have a nice room and the location was what I was looking for. I had two nights there and thought the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was... More

We stayed at this hotel for the second time and were very dissapointed by the service of the bar/waitress staff for our evening meal, all other staff were lovelly as they were on our previous visit (I don't know about the manager because he never replied to me). I wrote a letter which follows (slightly edited): Mr Mohammad Khalil, Fownes... More

Unfortunately, despite every single instruction not to book this dive of a place for me ever again (see previous review), my booking agent told me there was literally not another bed available in Worcester. If anything my experience this time was worse than before. I ended up sleeping in my car in the car park as I did not wish... More

My experience was nothing like those described by others. It started badly when I wasn't booked on their system despite having the booking form on my laptop. However, the receptionist was very helpful and sorted it out for me quickly and efficiently. The reception staff, without exception, were all very pleasant and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and warm.... More

We got married at the Fownes Hotel; everything went well, we all had a wonderful day. Sadly a few days later several of our guests received fines amounting to £90 each for parking their cars in the Fownes car park. The theory is the receptionist asks you for your car registration they log it on to a PC and all... More

Thank goodness we were only here for one night. What a grubby, dingy, scruffy unwelcoming place it was. Our room obviously hadn't been decorated for 25 years. The room and furnishings were tatty. The pillows were like concrete. The bathroom wasn't very clean and the flooring was coming up in places and had big holes in. The sealant around the... More

We were quite worried about staying at this hotel after reading all the bad reviews but had no choice but to give it a try as everywhere else was fully booked. Sometimes if you expect the worse you can be pleasantly surprised and we definitely were. The receptionist was really helpful on arrival and despite our room being slightly dated... More
